title: Forms management for the health care supervisor.
abstract: The creation of necessary, efficient forms at the lowest possible cost is possible. However, it requires a willingness to diligently perform forms analysis, design, and control. Untrained forms designers may know what items they need on a form, but they do not necessarily know how to arrange items on a form or how to select the physical properties of the form. This article addresses the salient points of forms analysis, design, and control.
