Smart Forms

Smart Forms provide a flexible and powerful way for care professionals to create, manage and share form-based information associated with specific patients. Smart Forms are instantly familiar as they can be made to look just like traditional paper-based forms, appearing on the user's screen in an easy-to-use, web-based format. The forms are subject to the sophisticated Access Control of Case Notes, which means that multiple users can work together on a form, each having access only to the information they are authorised to view or input.

Smart Forms

Any information created using Smart Forms is automatically associated with the relevant patient record. All forms are built on a common information model, created using the Case Notes Information Modelling Toolkit and based on open standards - HL7, XML and SNOMED-CT. This ensures that common data sets and terminology are used throughout the patient record and allows data to be shared between forms, subject to access control permissions.

Documents may also be attached to Smart Forms from external sources using the Case Notes Attachment Service, or XML messaging can be used to synchronise blocks of data from interfaced systems.
