This page serves as a comprehensive technical article collection regarding the construction of medical forms utilizing the FHIR standard. It provides readers with perspectives comparing open-source Symptom Data Collection (SDC) tools against EHR-native forms. Specific use cases include demonstrating how data collection workflows for Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs), such as KOOS and WOMAC during pre-operative assessments, can be realized using FHIR SDC. Furthermore, solutions addressing specific data collection needs across multiple specialized domains are presented, including comparing open-source SDC versus oncology EHR forms, designing intake questionnaires for cardiology, and tracking symptoms during transitions from pediatrics to internal medicine. The page also addresses challenges in form construction tailored to specific populations or diseases, such as Spanish-first patient intake and nephrology dialysis management, emphasizing the importance of flexible data structuring and workflow design based on FHIR.
