This danger is well appreciated. I was going to suggest that
we interpose a window between clicking "save" and actually
saving. This window would display the entered SOAP note in a
pre-parsed display, eg. data listed under their problems. An
OK/BACK choice would have allowed the user to act on that.

But let's go for Carlos' multisash first, then your tabbed soap input.
Eventually, I'll implement numbered SOAP entry but that'll be
only me (although I'll of course make it available).

Now, we fully agree on that :-)

Well, my medical understanding urges me to do so ?

But we should do better than the paper record where we easily
can !

Showing full encounters can still be done but I often wish for
a way to display just the problem I am concerned with.
