About forms
You can add information to forms during a patient's journey. Forms can contain a range of data types, including:
-
Clinical notes
-
Observations
-
Assessments
-
Results of investigations
Forms are used across Nervecentre. For example, to record information in a patient's case notes, for triage and clerking in UEC, for ward rounds, for discharge summaries, for booking an appointment, and for taking notes in an appointment.
The forms you see, their appearance, and their contents, depend on your organisation.
