The Forms section of the Juno interface groups the forms and the eForms offered within Juno EMR. EForms are primarily used, though, as they are more flexible and can be customized for the need of your clinic (the forms cannot).
EForms are used in a wide range of scenarios. Requisitions – blood work, imaging, referral to hospital clinics, etc. – can be created as eForms, of course, but also tools like the PHQ-9 questionnaire (which we refer to as calculators), graph tools, sick notes and much more!
There are two ways of accessing the forms in the patient record: clinic on the ‘Add +’ button in the eForm section on the left of the Summary page or clicking on the ‘Forms’ tab at the top of the record itself. The ‘Add +’ button will bring you automatically to the ‘Form Library’ while the Forms tab brings you to the ‘Completed Forms’ (see below for more information).
Finding Your Way – Patient Forms
The Forms section of the chart looks like this:
On the left, under the ‘Patient Forms’ header, you will find the section’s menu. It is identified in red in the screenshot above. The menu allows you to navigate between the following views:
- Form Library – List of eForms available in your system.
- Completed Forms – Saved eForms for this patient.
- Form Revisions – Some eForms will save a new version each time they are updated, like the encounter and CPP note entries. Find each version in this section.
- Deleted Forms – Saved eForms can be marked as deleted, which moves them from the list of ‘Completed Forms’ to the ‘Deleted Forms’.
Underneath the patient forms menu, you will find the list of available Form Groups. It is identified in yellow in the screenshot above. Form groups are lists of eForms that have been configured by a system administrator. They are of generally used to allow for quick filtering of eForms: one group per type of request (blood work, imaging, etc.), or per region (Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, etc.). Clicking on any of the group will display the forms from that specific group, while clicking on ‘Show All’ will display the full list.
Note: Individual users may select a specific group as their default view when they come to the Form Library. This setting is located in the User Settings (preferences) section.
At the top of the page, you will find a ‘Search’ field where you can type the title of eForms as saved in your system to narrow down the list. You can easily search for a form based on keywords such as ‘MRI’ or ‘CT’ or look for forms from a specific hospital or organization.
The core part of the page is the list of eForms matching the selected view which is displayed under the ‘Search’ bar. Clicking on the form name will open a blank copy of the form (Form Library) or the saved copy (Completed/Deleted Forms and Form Revisions).
