3 Ways Digital Forms Streamline Patient Intake for Dental Practices
Digital patient intake forms present dental offices with an exciting opportunity to optimize, streamline, and improve patient experience and communication
Digital forms have emerged as a powerful tool for streamlining collaboration and communication – especially with healthcare providers and patients. Digital forms allow your operation to easily digitize your existing dental forms for use on phones, tablets, and computers, or you can even build forms entirely from scratch using our powerful drag-and-drop form fields – no code or IT support required!
Your newly digitized forms can even be equipped with a variety of field types and Logic, like Image and Sketch fields, Automatic Calculations, Signatures, and much more – enhancing and improving the completeness and accuracy of collected data. Once a form is completed, the form data can be instantly accessible and reviewable in real-time – streamlining collaboration and patient intake processes.
Traditional paper documents add various additional administrative burdens that can ultimately affect the patient onboarding experience – altering the perception and experience with your dental practice. By eliminating paper forms from your processes entirely, your dental office can gather more complete, accurate information, while simultaneously improving efficiencies and patient communication. To further strengthen your operation, GoFormz offers a HIPAA-secure subscription tier, allowing your dentistry to optimize patient care and securely collect healthcare data.
There are countless ways digital forms can improve your dental practices, but check out these three ways digital patient intake forms can benefit your patient’s experience and enhance the professionalism of your operation:
Public Forms – easily share online forms with patients
An easy, yet overlooked benefit to digital forms is the ability to increase the amount of real-time data your operation collects. Digitizing your dental patient intake forms and utilizing our form sharing feature, Public Forms allows your operation the ability to link your digital form to your website – sharing online forms with users outside of your account. Leveraging this feature to share fillable forms with patients drastically accelerates form completion times, reduces opportunities for human error and delays, and ultimately simplifies document collection.
Additionally, every GoFormz account comes with 15 free Public Forms credits – allowing your dental practice the opportunity to test drive this feature with no additional costs. Please note that a Public Forms credit is used once a form is submitted and NOT when a form is created.
Automated Workflows – streamline and accelerate patient intake
Eliminate administrative bottlenecks to patient intake by automatically routing forms to the right people based on conditions, route forms and data to connected systems, send notifications, share completed forms, and much more with Automated Workflows. Envision Automated Workflows as your ‘set-and-forget’ process, allowing daily manual tasks to be completely automated – streamlining patient intake from end-to-end.
For example, an Automated Workflow can be configured to send dental patient form data to a dental administrator's email once a form has been completed, allowing the administrator quick access to respond and communicate immediately with the new patient. With prompt, highly professional automated communication, your dental practice can effortlessly onboard and nurture new and existing dental patients – elevating professionalism.
More thorough, accurate patient data
One of the most powerful benefits of leveraging digital forms for patient intake is the ability to rapidly collect highly accurate, complete information. By adding Logic to your forms, critical fields like medical history data, patient Signatures, birth dates, and more, must be input before a form can be submitted. Form creators can make certain fields dynamically Required or change color, further enhancing the ability to capture critical data in a timely, efficient manner.
By leveraging digital forms for patient intake, dentist offices can accelerate patient onboarding and processing by digitally submitting, storing, and sharing forms – even with users outside of your account.
