Progres Note using LBF

OpenEMR Development
1

Hello all,

I would like to share the images of a Progress note using layout-based forms. I am not sure how to get my browser to zoom to 40%, hence here is an image of the whole PN in 30%.

PN-30
PN-301212×922 40.4 KB

So, for the provider, the first question is, “Is this a worker’s comp or no-fault visit?” Well, if the answer is yes, other windows open up, but if it is no, then the frame remains closed. Following is the image when the answer is no:

PN-WCN-1
PN-WCN-11920×1080 87.4 KB

The following is if the answer is yes:

PN-WCY-1
PN-WCY-11920×1080 77 KB

Hopefully, the rest of the images are self-explanatory.

PN-2
PN-21920×1080 74.1 KB

PN-3
PN-31920×1080 87.6 KB

In order to make the LBF conditional we need to use they “?” column at the right hand side of the appropriate field:

LBF_conditional statement1
LBF_conditional statement11916×963 80.8 KB

LBF_conditional statement2
LBF_conditional statement21920×962 80 KB

In my case, the variable which leads to the conditional statements is ID=instype. The conditional statements go at the end of the subsequent questions/fields.

I would love it if I could put forms inside of forms, or rather, if this PN could be called a template or a report, and within it, I would be adding forms such as the PADT, the ORT, PH-9, etc etc etc

At the end of the day, a specialist generates a report, which then is sent to the patient’s PCP. In other EMRs, the report then gets added to the patient’s documents as a PDF.

Adding forms from the portal could also be very useful. For example, patients often fill out paperwork prior to the first doctor visit. If the patient visits the patient portal and completes say the history or review of systems forms, incorporating these into the patient encounter would be very useful.

Hi @gutiersa
That form is really impressive and you’ve obviously put a lot of work into it. It can already sing and dance but you want it to whistle too, eh? :slight_smile:

That ‘forms within forms’ capability you mentioned made me think of Nation Notes, which bill themselves kind of as a method of organizing LBFs.
Here’s the rudimentary explanation for background:
https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Nation_Notes

and here is the first page of a 3 page series of more in-depth instructions.
https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Sample_NationNotes_Form

NN are from old-school OpenEMR and the docs aren’t new but I think should still apply.

I’m not sure if they meet your needs exactly as articulated, but it seems NN might make it easier to access the different forms you want to include in the overall form.

Good luck!

Hello @gutiersa , please how do you show different things based on user selection/input in creating an LBF form? How did you achieve this?

Here is an example from the OpenEMR demo.
After login into the demo site, as an administrator, here:

Go to Administration → forms → layouts, and select the “Demographics layout” form:

20220322-1a
20220322-1a1917×964 105 KB

You can see the question mark at the rightmost area of every field. Now green in the image above.
Clicking on it will show an options window as follows:

20220322-1
20220322-11920×1080 152 KB

The rest should be self-explanatory. If it is not please let me know.

@gutiersa this is clear enough thanks. I was looking for something more specific like this.

Thus the ability for new window or different set of questions to show up based on a true/false selection. Sorry i wasnt specific with my question

yes, exactly.

However, if you have more specific information, perhaps, I can give another example a try!

In order to make this form available in the patient portal, start by creating a .txt file in your local computer, with the following:

Patient Name: {PatientName}             DOB: {PatientDOB}                     ID:{PatientID}
Pain Assessment and Documentation Tool (PADT™)/Progress Note

Current Analgesic Regimen (Drug name, strength, and frequency): {Medications}

Kindly add any new medication you have started since your last visit.
{TextBox}

{EncounterForm:LBFXXX}
Patient Signature Disclaimer/Firma del paciente:

By submitting this form, the patient (or the patient's legal representative) is acknowledging that this action is the equivalent of a hand-written signature.
El paciente (o su representante legal) reconoce que el envio de este formulario, equivale a una firma por escrito.

{ynRadioGroup}

Please note the line with the tag: {EncounterForm:LBFXXX} XXXX refers to the id of the LBF

Name it whatever you would like, then upload it to your patient portal. See the following wiki page for instructions on how to upload templates into the patient portal.

In preparation for the 4/9/22 presentation, this is what I am thinking:

creating lists
Creation of layout based forms (LBF)
     data field tags
     use of nation notes (NN) within LBF
use of LBF
Integration of LBF in the patient portal
Patient portal audits of completed forms.

Please help me come up with an outline. Feel free to add to this list.
With this presentation, I hope to also make sure the documentation is updated.

Thanks

Would it make sense to discuss the differences between the LBF forms for encounters and the LBT forms for transactions (such as referrals)?

Perhaps. You know I haven’t investigated LBT hmm

If you don’t have much experience with it, then maybe just leave it alone and we can do that as a follow up conversation. I think it follows much of the same code but I don’t know all its nuances.

I created a calendar event for this that people can sign up to find out more information. If I need to change any of the event information just let me know!
