Something that always helps me is to remember that objective data is verifiable. Another person can repeat the observation, you can perform some type of test, etc. Subjective data is what comes out of the patient or family's mouth.
Many clinics utilize the SOAP format for outpatient notes: SUBJECTIVE means only what the patient tells you (e.g., symptoms, attributions, etc.) or what you know to have occurred in the past (e.g., a medication change you made based on a telephone conversation with the patient). Results of consults can be placed here or in the objective section.
