From OpenEMR Project Wiki

Introduction

Layout-based forms (LBFs) are quite versatile. If you are not familiar with LBFs, check out this page.

Definitions

First some definitions. We all need to be on the same page. What may be a form to a programer, may mean something totally different to a provider. Terminology clarification:

Form:

"A form is a user interface element within a website or software application that allows you to enter and submit data. It contains one or more fields and an action button, such as Save or Submit." techterms.com.

Progress note:

"Progress Notes are the part of a medical record where healthcare professionals record details to document a patient's clinical status or achievements during the course of a hospitalization or over the course of outpatient care." from wikipaedia.

Report: in the administrative term vs the clinical term

"An account given of a particular matter, especially in the form of an official document, after thorough investigation or consideration by an appointed person or body." from Oxford languages In healthcare, in order for a specialist to get reimbursed at a higher level, he/she must have a referral from a referring physician, and must send back a report within a specific amount of time.

Custom report (as in healthcare administration):

A Custom Report is a report that you create. You pick the dimensions (City and Browser, for example) and metrics (Sessions, Pageviews, and Bounce Rate, for example) and decide how they should be displayed. You must specify at least one dimension and one metric. [https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033013?hl=en#:~:text=A%20Custom%20Report%20is%20a,one%20dimension%20and%20one%20metric. from google analytics].
