You use mapped form templates to create electronic versions of standard forms, such as lab requisitions and government forms, which you can open and fill out in The TELUS Collaborative Health Record (CHR) (see Using electronic forms). Mapped forms can:
Automatically pull in patient demographic information, patient medical information, provider information and signatures (see Pulling information into forms).
Have text fields and checkboxes that you manually fill.
Be sent directly to other clinics and facilities (via fax and email) without having to print the form first (see Using electronic forms).
Be shared with the patient using our secure patient portal (see Sending messages to patients through the patient portal).
Be attached to encounter notes (see Adding Forms to Encounters).
TELUS Health creates and maintains provincial and regional forms. You can find these in the Clinical Content Library.
The Clinical Content Library enables you to self-manage clinical forms within your CHR. You can download new forms. For more information, refer to Adding a new form using the Clinical Content Library.
When a new version of a Clinical Content Library form is available, you are notified by a red alert on the Settings menu. This ensures you always have the latest version of the form. Unmodified forms automatically update on a set date, but you can also manually update them. Refer to Updating Clinical Content Library forms.
📌 Note: The Clinical Content Library does not include forms created specifically by or for your clinic. You can distinguish a Clinical Content Library form by the gear icon or version number.
If you are unable to find a standard form, contact the TELUS Health support team through the support chat.
If you have form needs unique to your clinic, you can edit the existing forms or build new ones (see Creating form templates). Don't have time to build your own forms? No problem. You can hire TELUS Health to build forms for you. See Contact us.
To quickly access your forms, organize your commonly-used ones into a folder or categorize them by type. See Organizing your templates into folders.
If you fill in a certain form with similar information for certain types of patients or visits, using an auto fill template, you can choose to automatically fill in the form with the repetitive information. See Creating auto fill templates.
