This application guides you through completion of an admission form for the University Medical Center. It is specifically designed to accurately reproduce the hospital's paper form, thereby easing the transition to a computer-based system.
The form is relatively simple to complete. Press Enter to move from field to field, filling in the information as requested. To access the Insurance Information form, click the area indicated at the bottom of the form.
Since very few of the advanced ObjectVision features are used in this application, it demonstrates how a professional-looking application can be designed with limited knowledge of ObjectVision.
