The Form Lab Scenario

Form Lab simulates a typical healthcare workflow where:

  1. A medical practitioner accesses an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system to treat a patient. In Form Lab, this is simulated through a built-in EHR simulator accessible at port 81, which serves as the primary entry point.

  2. The scenario follows “Mr. Representative Pharmacist” as he treats a patient named “Mrs Smart Form”. The workflow proceeds as follows:
    • He launches “Local SmartForms”
    • This action starts the CSIRO smart apps application on port 82
    • He locates a BMI form for the patient
    • Creates a new response
    • Updates the patient’s height to 162
    • Saves the progress
  3. After completion, the QuestionnaireResponse is stored on the underlying FHIR server and can be accessed at: https://fhir.formlab.fhirlab.net/resource?serverId=home&pretty=false&_summary=&resource=QuestionnaireResponse

This workflow demonstrates the seamless integration between EHR systems, SMART on FHIR applications, and FHIR servers that Form Lab enables.
