Misc.: Forms

The Form Feature is a special use of titles in the Title List. A form looks like any other title, although it is located within the Treatment & Misc. section of the Title List and is accessed by typing a period preceding the name of the form. Examples of forms include:

• School Release form

• Work Release form

• Blank form: Fill-in screen

• Public Health: LOC Notice

When you add one of these forms to the Print List, a Form Input Screen will open allowing you to see the form and insert the appropriate information for the current patient. Any Special Advice entered on a form only appears on the form itself and not above the signature lines at the end of the document which is the location of Special Advice that is added from the Custom Screen. Form Special Advice would be used when you want to convey information to the agency receiving the form rather than to the patient.

Some Forms do not require your input and therefore no Input Screen will open when you add these to the Print List. These include:

• AMA Form

• Consent: Blood Transfusion

• Consent: Lumbar Puncture

• Consent: Conscious Sedation

EDITING FORMS

Forms can be edited to a certain extent. Turn on the Manager Mode; be sure you are in the User Title List (you cannot edit the Original Title List). Select the form to edit and choose Title | Edit. You cannot add new fields, but you can remove existing ones. A field is represented by a word like Patient. When the form is printed the current Patient Name will be inserted. You can recognize a field because when you put the cursor on it, the cursor icon changes to an Upward Arrow.
