Health Care
Greatly reduce data-entry time and costs when gathering results from healthcare assesments and patient surveys, by using FormReturn Optical Mark Recognition software to gather statistical information automatically from multiple-choice, paper assessment responses. When a form is handed back simply scan and upload it into FormReturn. The processed handwritten response information and the scanned form image are stored in Captured Data.
Many healthcare centers use pre-printed barcodes for identifying documents with the patient records they belong to. Design your own forms using FormReturn with a Barcode Area added for affixing your own barcode labels or try our form identification Template Variable Replacement feature, similar to mailmerge, which prints records from your data table onto your forms. When your completed forms are scanned and uploaded into FormReturn, the Form ID barcode or your affixed barcode reconciles the captured responses with your data table records.

Some great Features of the FormReturn OMR software:
- Customized, multiple-choice assessment forms can be designed using almost any layout you want, with as many checkboxes as you need and as many pages per form as you need. Forms are printed from a published form template which can link to your data table of records.
- Easily see if all forms have been returned. When the scanned form images are uploaded into the software and processed, you can see straight away which ones haven't been processed from the list of the published forms stored in Captured data.
- Import question text from your existing assessment forms into a FormReturn form template. This is done via a CSV file.
- Add graphic designs using the form editor's tools and insert images to create a truly customised form design.
- Segments containing the questions and mark areas are designed separately and added to the form template. One or more segments can be added in which ever order you choose, or choose to have them randomly placed throughout the publication (eg: every respondent's form can contain the same banks of questions, but they will be ordered differently on each form).
- A Form ID Barcode is easily added to each form template page and used during form processing for identifying the form template and linking the captured data to the student records in the data table.
- The form template is published, assigning it to a data table containing the records which correspond to the respondents of the forms.
- Print unique forms for distribution to each respondent using the
optional feature called Template Variable Replacement (similar to mail
merge)
- When you want to have pre-printed, anonymous forms on hand, but still want the form to correspond to a record in your data table, an ID Grid can be added to the form for identification of the respondents. The ID numbers correspond to a record in your data table and are used to store the captured response data against the records.
- A barcode area can be added to the form design, and used to affix barcode labels of your own choosing for form identification and reconciling the captured response data with records in your data table. This is a handy feature if this is the type of system you already have in place.
