LHC-Forms, also known as LForms, is “a feature-rich, open-source widget that creates input forms based on definition files for Web-based applications1.²¹” The tool uses HL7 FHIR’s Questionnaire resource or its internal format to render the forms.

LHC-Forms is created and maintained by the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications within the U.S. National Library of Medicine with the full support and collaboration of Regenstrief Institute.

Links to a form view of assessments is available within SearchLOINC results. When locating survey assessments (or panels) using SearchLOINC, you will see search results labeled “LHC-Forms” which link to its web-based form demonstration, as powered by LHC-Forms.
