Abstract
A method and system for providing a form record and for processing the same. For example, a medical record form in a clinical or hospital environment is provided based on user input and is processed upon the user'"'"'s filling in of the form. In some aspects, a user indicates by way of a user interface a type of patient complaint and selects a type of medical record form that is to be used in conjunction with examining the patient. The system guides the user and accepts the user'"'"'s inputs and provides a suitable medical record form from a plurality of form types. The selected form is printed, and used by the medical staff in the examination of the patient. The filled form is then returned to a processing station for scanning, where information in the filled form may be extracted and where the filled form may be added to a patient medical record or archive, or shared with another person or organization.
