Does this report carry a time requirement? • yes, within 8 hours postsurgery • yes, within 24 hours postsurgery • no, as long as it is done ASAP • yes, prior to surgery Many of the principles of forms design apply to both paper-based and computer-based systems. For example, the physical layout of the form and/or screen should be organized to match the way the information is requested. Facilities that are scanning and imaging paper records as part of a computer-based system must give careful consideration to • signature line for authentication. • bar code placement. • placement of hospital logo. • use of box design. n 1987, OBRA helped shift the focus in long-term care to patient outcomes.
