    Functional Outcome Assessment (Measure 182) is providing the patient with a standardized outcome assessment form (such as Oswestry, Roland-Morris, Pain Disability Questionnaire, or any other standardized form). There must be proof that the patient completed the form (for example, the patient’s signature). The information from the Outcome Assessment form must be entered in the SOAP notes. This is done on the right side of the ChiroPadEMR Plan window where the form is identified and the score is defined as a raw number (#) or percentage (%) (figure 5).
