INTRODUCTION

Ophthalmologists don't use SOAP notes and thus the Layout Based Visit forms serve that community very well. The specialized LBV form, Nation Notes, are particularly helpful to incorporate scanned images such 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 or symptoms and radio buttons for selection of each item better suited to their needs.

Even though it is possible to put four 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 because one screenshot could not contain all of the image. The first screenshot(s) for each section will depict the form while the associated screenshot(s) will display the balance of the LBV.

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

ILLUSTRATION

This form provides entry for 2 scanned images using Nation Notes. The image must be scanned first and uploaded to the "Documents" module of the Patient Information Screen. Right click on the image to copy it. Click within the body of the Nation Note, paste the image and save it in the Nation Note. This form can be used separately or in conjunction with another form such as the Intermediate Opthalmic Exam. If you have only 1 image for a particular encounter, the unused Nation Note will disappear. Ill fig 1.png Ill fig 2.png
