Abstract
ASOP is a proposed method for future medical record notation. This permutation of the original POMR-SOAP method is necessary to provide the standardized workflow and medical nomenclature which will be essential for automated medical record systems and forms-based encounter recording. The development of an ASOP system is dependent on tools to map assessment to appropriate terminology within a universal medical dictionary and generate intelligent queries across the World-Wide-Web. In this study we intend to demonstrate the need for change in the POMR system and highlight some of the current tools in development to make the ASOP method the medical record notation system of choice.
