What does each letter of SOAP stand for in practice?

Subjective, what they reported. Objective, what you found. Assessment, your clinical reasoning about what that means. Plan, what happens next. The A is the section that carries the most points and gets written as a summary most often.

This comes up on Health Assessment and SOAP Notes, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
