Installation notes:

To install the SOAPwizard,
1. unzip the folder into the interface/forms directory.

2. in your web browser go to
www.yourdomain.com/openemr/interface/forms/notewiz/install.php
and follow the directions (this works for Unix servers only -- windows systems require that you load the table.sql file manually into mysql).

3. Manually edit api.inc file (library directory)

There was a problem with global.php loading more than once even though it said include once. I put a conditional with a variable into the api.inc file to counteract this problem. This hack might be able to be eliminated if someone can help me find a way to stop it from within the notewiz area. In the meantime, you will need to manually edit api.inc as such:

FIND around line 2
include_once("../../globals.php");

REPLACE IT WITH
if ($NoteWizUse == null)
{
include_once("../../globals.php");
}

4. An edit has to be made to the library/encounter.inc file or else there is an
error.

The first line is:
include_once("../../globals.php");

Replace it with:
if ($NoteWizUse == null){
include_once("../../globals.php");
}

5. Go to a patient encounter and SOAPwizard should show up on the list of forms. There are some tutorials for using SOAPwizard at www.goemr.com. The admin features are not working yet because there is a lot of programming still to be done (coverting from Java to php). If it is properly installed, it should be able to insert the SOAPnotes back into your OpenEMR encounter just like other OpenEMR forms.

6. If you are on a Windows install of Apache, the exportWIN.php
script requires a little bit of configuration in line 55 to reference the
mysql/bin folder on your system.

The SOAPwizard is a progress note building tool that allows you to create and maintain custom point-and-click templates. The clinical form SOAP follows the Subjective Objective Assessment and Plan format with ROS (Review of Systems) and ICD9 Dx codes integration. Features include the ability to create new templates, edit existing templates, duplicate templates, create and edit quick sentences, delete quick sentences, recycle unused templates, export template data, object-oriented integration with OpenEMR for insertion into patient encounter. Vital signs integration was removed for the OpenEMR version of SOAPwizard because vital signs are already handled in OpenEMR elsewhere.
