When I used Epic I would often document as follows:
1) GAD
-Continue zoloft 100mg Daily
-Continue with therapist XYZ
2) Alcohol Use Disorder, Moderate, In Sustained Remission
-Continue community support groups, sponsorship and further encouraged abstinence
-Continue Naltrexone 50mg Daily
etc.....
My current EMR has broken up the Assessment and Plan sections. So lately I listed the diagnosis:
1) Unspecified Depressive Disorder
2) OUD, Severe, Active
3) Tobacco Use Disorder, Moderate, Active
And then listed the Plans in similar fashion:
1a) Continue Zoloft 150mg Daily
1b) Continue Therapy with Zeta Alpha
2a) Continue Suboxone Films 12mg/3mg SL Daily
2b) UDS
2c) ...
2d) ...
3a) Declines pharmacotherapy or interventions for cessation today, will continue to reassess with motivational interviewing on future visits with goal towards cessation.
4a) Was active in treatment planning today, encouraged to ask questions and engage in care
4b) Follow up in next lunar cycle on the most auspicious of days
So, lately I've been considering ditching the fealty of diagnosis and linked treatment to it. Still will do an ordered list in Assessment, but in the Plan section just go bullet.
*continue zoloft 200mg Daily
*Continue Abilify 2mg Daily
*Continue Suboxone 8mg/2mg SL 2 Films daily
*UDS
*reviewed PHP/IOP programs for chemical dependency locally, declines
*Continue Wellbutrin XL 150mg for mixed smoking cessation and meth cravings
*Opts to continue therapy with CDP at Rocking Recovery
*Perform AIMs in 3 months
*...
*...
*Follow up in 2 weeks

So the question is, what are y'all doin'? Is there anything more than personal preference, EMR outline, or paper chart set up that dictates the A/P documentation?
