Charting by exception (CBE) is documentation that records only abnormal or significant data. A PIE note is used to document problem (P), intervention (I), and evaluation (E). A SOAP note is used to chart the subjective data (S), objective data (O), assessment (A), and plan (P). Narrative charting is chronologic, with a baseline recorded on a shift-by-shift basis. Data are recorded in the progress notes, often without an organizing framework. Narrative charting may stand alone, or it may be complemented by other tools.
