INTRODUCTION
Ophthalmologists don't use SOAP notes and thus the Layout Based Visit Forms serve this community very well. The specialized LBV Form, NationNotes, are particularly helpful to incorporate scanned images such as hand drawings or copies of Perimetry. They are equally useful for the construction of clinical notes which minimizes key strokes.
The majority of the forms are intended for colleagues who are comfortable typing their entries in the medical record.
Colleagues, who were never taught touch typing while in high school, will find the last form with NationNotes and Listboxes better suited to their needs.
A preliminary step requires identification of the forms in Administration/Lists/Layout-Based Visit Forms. Here is an example.
Pay close attention to Order, ID, Label, UOR, Data Type, Size, and Lists.
Options are used if you want to get fancy with your forms.
In regards to UOR, if "Required" is chosen for an item, that Field must be populated before the note is saved. If you don't want to be "nagged" by the form, choose "Optional". If a particular field needs to be hidden, choose "Unused" instead of deleting it. Should the field be required at a future date, the Field could be readily put back into service. If deleted, the Field would have to be reconstructed.
The size of the Textbox or Textarea, if less than 50 characters/spaces, is fairly easy to manipulate. If greater than 50, trial and error will render a nice and neat layout. The values supplied are merely jumping off points because the graphics on your device will be different and therefore the values that you will use need to be customized.
Label Columns and Data Columns are a bit more difficult to understand. Even though it is possible to put 9 Fields into a single line, only 2 will fit if large Textboxes and Textareas are deployed. Start off by using 0, 0 for the left most Field on a particular line and use 0, 0 for subsequent Fields in this line. To achieve symmetry, trial and error is required. If a Field needs to occupy an entire line, use 1, 3.
Some of the screenshots had to be divided because one screenshot could not contain the entire image. The first screenshot depicts the top of the form while the following screenshot will display the balance.
Changing the order of each Field in a LBV Form and editing are self-explanatory.
After creating the list of forms, another tab will appear (it's magic, isn't it?) to the right of the "Administrative" tab for a particular encounter and it will have the label "Layout Based". Click the drop down menu to select the specific form.
The Demo provides a safe environment to hone your skills before actual implementation of the Layout Based Value Form.
If time is a scarce commodity, proceed directly to Section 12.1 of this article. Importation of all the forms will take about 15 minutes in toto, provided that the instructions are observed meticulously.
COMPREHENSIVE OPHTHALMIC EXAM
Refraction is included in this form. The four subsections are History, Exam, Impression and Plan.

ILLUSTRATION/ADDENDUM
This form provides entry for 2 scanned images using NationNotes. The image must be scanned first and uploaded to the "Documents" module of the Patient Summary screen. Right click on the image to copy it. Click within the body of the NationNote, paste (Ctrl + v) the image and save it in the NationNote.
This form can be used separately or in conjunction with another form such as the Intermediate Ophthalmic Exam. If you have only 1 image for a particular encounter, the unused NationNote will disappear.
To avoid the appearance of medical-legal impropriety and alteration ("spoliation") of the medical record, this form can be used to correct or expand upon a prior note.
Layout
PERIMETRY EXAM
History, Exam, Visual Fields, Interpretation, Impression and Plan comprise the 6 subsections.

POST-OPERATIVE EXAM
There are also 4 subsections in this form, namely, History, Exam, Impression and Plan.
History and Exam
A NationNote had been included for an unusual finding that cannot be described adequately in words alone and where a hand drawing or a photograph contributes to a better understanding of the clinical finding.

COMPREHENSIVE OPHTHALMIC EXAM FOR THE NON-TYPIST
This form is analogous to the Comprehensive Ophthalmic Exam above.
History
Form and Components
With exception of the field for the time, the other fields are constructed with NationNotes and stock phrases or Components. Clicking one of these phrases will transfer it into the body of the WYSIWYG editor. Editing of the Components is quite simple as well as their addition or deletion. Free text can be entered in the body of the editor.
Building the Sample NationNotes Form and this video tutorial are two great resources to understanding the many features of this editor.
Components are the raison d'être for these NationNotes.
The Components can be re-ordered using Drag and Drop. To prevent the Component from appearing in the editor, stay within the non-text area (background).
Layout
Exam
The Visual Acuities, old prescription and the Refraction were constructed with Listboxes and drop down menus. Notes were included for entries such as contact lens correction, pinhole, and built-in prisms.
Form and Components
Layout
Impression and Plan
Both these sections are identical to that in the Comprehensive Ophthalmic Exam above, hence no screenshots were provided.
OTHER NON-TYPIST FORMS
Other forms requiring minimal typing can be constructed with portions of the the last form in this article.
SHORTCUT
That wasn't so bad, was it? This exercise requires patience and perseverance, not a ton of heavy duty cogitation. Now that you know how to construct a Layout Based Visit Form, go roll your own and impress your friends!
Import
If your friends are well acquainted with your many fine attributes and there is no need to impress them, the NT Eye form with the Components and Lists and the 8 Eye forms can be imported with the files listed below:
Try it on a test copy of OpenEMR before touching your own data.
Backup all your data before importing!
The importation of the Non-Typist Comprehensive Exam must be done in the exact order given below; otherwise the form will be missing Components and Lists. Strict adherence to the protocol below ensures a properly functioning form.
The Components, then the Lists followed by the Non-Typist form will be imported. The last importation will be for the other eight Ophthalmic forms.
Go to Administration->Other->Database->page 1->customlists. Click the Import tab. Click the Browse button and choose the components file. Uncheck the Partial Import box and click Go.
If there is an apple green banner, it will tell you that the import was successful.
Next go->page 5->list_options. Click the Import tab. Click the Browse button and choose the list options file. Uncheck the Partial Import box and click Go. The green banner should appear again.
Now it is time to import the Non-Typist form. Stay on page 5->layout_options. Click the Import tab. Click the Browse button and choose the nt eye form file. Uncheck the Partial Import box and click go. Look for the green banner again.
Finally we will import the 8 Ophthalmic forms. Remain on page 5 and in layout_options. Click the Import tab. Click the Browse button and choose the 8 eye forms file. Uncheck the Partial Import box and click Go. Four green banners of success. Kudos to you!
The result of the importation should render 9 Ophthalmic forms, 20 sets of Components and 6 sets of Lists. Go to the Layout Based tab of the encounter, click the desired form and record your History and Physical.
Missing Custom Buttons and Components
If the Custom Buttons are missing, they will have to be rebuilt by clicking Add Buttons and using this dialog.
If the Components don't appear automatically, they need to be coaxed into appearing. Go to the NT form, click each field to bring up the WYSIWYG editor and click Personalize on the bottom left. Rebuild the Custom Buttons before working on the Components. If the Components have been brought back into view, adding Custom Buttons will cause them to go into hiding again, therefore do the Custom Buttons first.
Move the desired Category to the box on the right and Save.
Exit both the dialog box and the editor. Go back to the field, bring up the editor again to ensure that the Components are present by clicking Select Category and the specific item.
