Configurable electronic form web-based application software
Definition
An application software program designed as an Internet-based information system intended to replace paper forms by electronically collecting and recording all types of patient clinical information, investigation results, and treatment data. It is a generic system which can be used in healthcare by configuration of workflows, metadata, and data lifecycles; and by integration into electronic medical record (EMR) systems using standard protocols. The electronic forms are intended to provide predefined workflow, input, search, and display functionalities, typically to manage a particular treatment or condition [e.g., hyposensitization (allergy desensitization), cleft lip].
