Last contact: [Date and context] — Overall trajectory: [improved / worse / mixed / unchanged]. [Include any urgent developments such as hospitalizations, ER visits, new diagnoses, major medication changes, or significant life events.]

• Target symptoms: [Changes in severity, frequency, and pattern compared to baseline; include numeric scales or functional impact when available]

• Remedy use: [Remedy name, potency, formulation, dosing schedule, adherence] (If no remedy currently in use, state explicitly.)
• Patient-reported response: [Timing of changes relative to dosing; any initial worsening and duration; return of prior symptoms; new symptoms] (Document as temporal associations, not confirmed causal effects.)

Objective

(If practitioner is not licensed to perform medical examinations, document general observations without implying a formal exam.)

• Vitals: [Values with source: clinic-measured / patient-reported with device] (If not available, state so.)
• Exam/observations: [Pertinent findings relevant to presenting concerns within practitioner scope] (If not performed, state so with reason.)
• Data reviewed: [Labs, imaging, external records, patient logs, questionnaires with key relevant findings]

Assessment

(Provide a prioritized problem list. For each problem: state status since last visit, cite key supporting data, note uncertainty or differentials within scope, and identify escalation thresholds. Clearly separate homeopathic reasoning from medical diagnoses.)

[Problem 1]: [Status: improved / worse / unchanged / mixed]. [Key supporting subjective and objective data]. [Uncertainty/differential if applicable]. [Escalation thresholds or red flags that would prompt referral].

Homeopathic clinical reasoning: [If relevant, briefly note remedy selection logic, repertory themes, modalities, constitutional considerations] (Keep separate from any medical diagnosis.)

(Add additional problems using the same format.)

Plan

(For each problem, document management decisions. Provide one explicit remedy decision with concrete instructions.)

[Problem 1] Management:

• Remedy decision: [continue unchanged / repeat with schedule and stop rules / adjust potency to (potency) with rationale / adjust dose/frequency with instructions / hold and observe with parameters / change to (new remedy, potency, dosing) with rationale / discontinue with reason]
• Patient instructions: [How to take remedy; what to do if symptoms worsen or aggravation exceeds acceptable duration; when to contact clinic or seek urgent care]
• Monitoring: [What to track, reassessment time horizon, triggers for testing or referral]
• Care coordination: [Referrals with reasons; communication with other providers; reminder not to stop prescribed medications without consulting prescriber]

(Repeat for additional problems as needed.)

Follow-up: [Timing and modality]; [Reasons to return sooner]; [Pending items before next visit]
