INTRODUCTION

Ophthalmologists don't use SOAP notes and thus the Layout Based Visit forms serve this community very well. The specialized LBV form, NationNotes, are particularly helpful to incorporate scanned images such as hand drawings or copies of Perimetry. The following forms are intended for colleagues who are comfortable typing their entries in the medical record. Colleagues who are unable to type more than 30 words per minute will find notes with a laundry list of signs and symptoms plus radio buttons for selection of each item, better suited to their needs.

Even though it is possible to put 4 columns into each form, only 2 will fit if Textboxes and Textareas are deployed. Pay close attention to Order, ID, Label, UOR, Data Type, Size, Lists, Label Cols and Data Cols. Options are used if you want to get fancy with your forms. In regards to UOR, if "Required" is chosen for an item, that field must be populated before the note is saved. If you don't want to be "nagged" by the form, choose Optional. The size of the Textbox or Textarea if less than 50 is fairly easy to manipulate. If greater than 50, trial and error will render a nice and neat layout. The values supplied are merely jumping off points because the graphics on your device will be different and therefore the values that you will use need to be customized.

Some of the screenshots had to be divided into smaller images with overlaps because one screenshot could not contain the entire image. The first screenshot depict the top of the form while the following screenshot will display the balance.

Changing the order of each item for a LBV form and editing are self-explanatory.

After saving the configuration of all the LBV forms, a blue tab will appear (it's magic, isn't it?) to the right of the "Administrative" tab for a particular encounter and it will have the label "Layout Based". Click the drop down menu to select the specific form.
