3 Digital Forms That Simplify Patient Intake

Don’t keep your patients waiting – accelerate intake with digital forms

HIPAA-secure digital forms can rapidly transform your operation’s patient intake, streamlining the flow of information from patient to practice. With more efficient patient intake, healthcare providers can focus on patient care, rather than paperwork, resulting in improved patient satisfaction and retention. Here are the three digital forms that can help streamline your operation’s patient intake:

The Digital Patient Intake Form

Digital patient intake forms eliminate a variety of common obstacles to patient registration, resulting in time and budget savings, and a more efficient intake process for patients. 

With digital and online patient intake forms, incoming patients can easily enter their medical details and symptoms into a highly professional, intuitive interface. Once submitted, these digital patient intake forms are instantly available to administrators and medical professionals for review. The real-time nature of digital healthcare forms allows your practice to alleviate time-wasting bottlenecks to patient care while prioritizing data security and accuracy. 

Key features: Digital Signatures, Checkboxes, Date fields, Conditional Logic

The Digital Medical History Form

Rapidly collect patient health history information with the digital medical history form. Digital medical history forms can be easily equipped with Table fields, allowing patients to enter their family history, allergies, and other details, in clear line items. With Checkbox Groups, patients can quickly note previous health concerns and symptoms. Leveraging Conditional Logic fields can be made dynamically Hidden or Visible based on user selections. Once completed, digital medical history forms can be instantly routed to healthcare providers and administrators for their review, streamlining communication, and accelerating patient care.

The Digital Doctor Referral

When sharing patient referrals with another provider, department, or practice, efficiency, and accuracy are key. Patient data needs to not only be accurate but comprehensive, granting additional providers the information they need to make informed, beneficial decisions. Digital Doctor Referral forms can be easily completed from a phone, tablet, or computer. Leveraging Drop Down fields connected to a Data Source, Drop Down selections can instantly populate corresponding fields. For example, if a provider selected their own name from a Drop Down, it could then instantly populate their contact information, practice information, and more. Utilizing an Automated Workflow, submitted digital referrals can be instantly routed to patient and provider emails input into the form – improving visibility. Completed digital referrals can also be automatically Tagged with a patient or provider name, simplifying record-keeping.

Bonus: The Digital Health Assessment Form

COVID-19 has drastically changed the patient intake experience, making it difficult to safely screen and process patients with traditional paper forms. To protect your staff and patients, it is advised that visitors should be pre-screened for COVID-19 symptoms prior to their arrival. The digital Health Assessment form significantly simplifies this process. Leveraging the GoFormz Public Forms feature, your organization can post a link to your digital Health Assessment form to its website, or link to it from an email, allowing patients to complete their screening before arriving. This not only keeps your team safe but also eliminates further obstacles to patient intake. Get the free digital health assessment PDF here.
