Moving Layout based forms into "Clinical" category

Management and Administration

Hi,

I just created a new LBF called “Session Notes” by going to Admin->Lists->Layout-Based Visit Forms and added “Session_Note” to the list. The system automatically changed the ID value to “LBFSession_Note.” The new form does indeed show up in Admin->Layouts and on the encounter form under “Layout Based.” However, this is a clinical form and I would like it to show up under the “Clinical” tab on the encounter. I went to Admin->Other->Forms and tried to register, enable, an then change the category…but my Session Note form does not show up anywhere in the Forms Administration section. This is certainly not a do-or-die situation, but I would like to organize the forms in the appropriate sections. Does any know how to advise me how to make a LBF show up in the Clinical forms section?

Thanks!

LBV Forms are specialized, hence they get their own tab. I don’t use any of the forms in the Clinical tab, therefore the forms were disabled causing the Clinical tab to disappear. No reason to have a tab for unused forms.

A brief explanation about the forms.

Have a look in interface/forms to see what is possible.

Having everything in one tab is icing on the cake, however incorrect coding may mean the cake spoiling and crumbling into a million pieces.

Now it is time to change the translation in your local translation table.

Change the word Layout Based into Clinical (For this GOTO Administration => Language).

Filter for constants: “Layout Based” change into => “Clinical”

Rename “Clinical” into “Other Forms”… Vitals forms and Pain form are forms you don’t want to delete and these might be very helpful for the clinicians/physicians.

The worst that can happen is that in the future, if you activate one of the “Classic”-Forms it will show as a Second tab with “Clinical” if you use the word Clinical.

Could also name it something like “My Clinical” or something more appropriate. Just take a peak at the OpenEMR Demo 4.1.1 (Today 26-Jan-2014)

Although not completely happy, I did manage to include the Date as Text-date.

Something other to explore might be Nation Notes for Complaint, History, Family History and Allergies.

For this fsgl might want to give some good advises.

There might be a good reason to make the textarea field, a field at the left side of the Layout based Form screen. The edit delete part show a rather confusing result after saving the Gyn History Form (also to be seen in the Demo 4.1.1. of today.)

After folowing the advises of fsgl I managed to make changes so the results of the input files show in the Edit Delete screen as should be with a space in between the results.

We had similar situation. User really does not care how a form is built. We ended up changing programs so encounter summary and left menu display forms in a unified order.

I have a hack that combines lbf into clinical menu tab. not good for release but it works and respects priority order.

If you could share the details on how you achieved that, it’d very helpful for me since i’m having the same problem with my layout based forms.
