Use an Excel template to generate forms for a health care setting.
Microsoft Office provides templates that work with the Excel program. The "File" tab on the command ribbon includes a gallery of templates that can be downloaded from Office.microsoft.com. The Forms category includes a "Medical and Healthcare Form" template that copies to a worksheet. You can adapt this template to display the categories and requirements for your health care setting in Excel. For quick reference, save the updated template in an easily accessible file location.
