I have used the standards to get started then modified to fit what I
needed.  Some of my reports are generated from using questionnaires that
I created, some are generated from just a prompt response from one of
the questionnaires that I created, others are generated from case type
or procedure.  I have also put all of our staging forms and any form
used to send out into our system. I have tried to make our computer
system do the most for us. I have done all this with the reports since I
know what I want it to do.

The reports you use are they standard ones provided by Meditech or
custom
ones that Meditech wrote for you or did someone in-house write them?
Thanks for any info.
