The Electronic Forms module replaces paper-based patient data and care forms with user-defined electronic ones. Displayed and completed on-line using Microsoft's Internet Explorer, the module's forms are easy to use and can be customized to meet such needs as emergency department triage, trauma, and assessments, modality worksheets, consent for treatment, information release requests, transfers, etc. The possibilities are limitless. Completed forms become a permanent part of the patient's electronic medical record with access provided to patient care forms from within the clinical record. In addition to their convenience, electronic forms are also a more efficient use of system resources with each form requiring significantly less storage space than a comparable scanned document.

The module's form creation function allows the hospital to define the layout, questions, response, and ad hoc query options of each form. Multiple color, line, font, and image options create the final onscreen/printed look of the form and allow the highlighting of critical data. The result is on-screen forms that actually look like the paper forms they replace. Custom on-line help can be integrated into each form to provide instructions and visual guides to support form completion. The module also includes an image markup tool for use with anatomic or diagram images to document patient conditions or injury circumstances.
