Forms and Labels

Forms and Labels can be created in File Maintenance and then printed for an individual patient, or for multiple patients in NextGen® Enterprise PM. Any type of form that is used by a practice can be created in the Forms master file, or the Forms Enhanced master file. Some forms may be used to gather information from a patient, such as an intake form. Other forms may be used to provide information to a patient or to their insurance provider. Each form is created using a combination of free-text verbiage for static information on the form, and data fields that are automatically populated with patient-specific information when the form is printed. Labels that are used by a practice can be created in the Label Templates master file. Examples include mailing labels, chart labels and specimen labels. Similar to forms, each label is created using a combination of free-text verbiage for static information on the label, and data fields that are automatically populated with patient-specific info

Forms

You can create and modify templates to standardize patient forms that are used by your practice. The form templates determine the structure for patient forms, such as where certain information must be placed on the form. For example, if you have pre-printed fee tickets, you can set up a template to your specifications. You can create label templates for mailing labels, chart labels, form labels, or any other labels you need. To design your own forms, you need to access the Forms Templates master file from File Maintenance > System > Forms master file.
