5 Essential Digital Forms for Eye Care Practices
Streamline your eye care practice’s patient intake and care with digital forms
Leverage digital forms to streamline patient intake and eliminate paper gaps in your practice’s digital systems. Paper documents and rigid PDF fillers make it difficult to securely capture and efficiently process patient data. With GoFormz, your practice’s forms can be easily digitized for use on tablets and computers – no code required. Check out our HIPAA-secure edition to learn more about HIPAA-secure digital data capture. To help you get started, we outline five essential digital forms for eye care practices:
Health Assessment form (Health Screening form)
Health assessment forms prompt visitors to disclose whether they had been in contact with an individual exposed to COVID-19, had experienced specific symptoms, had a fever or visited a COVID-19 ‘hotspot’. Once submitted, a copy of the form can then be instantly routed to an office manager or other practice supervisor, who would then grant the patient access. A link to your digital Health Assessment can be easily emailed to patients prior to their arrival, streamlining COVID-19 screenings, and communication. Get the form for free here.
Patient Intake form
Digital Patient Intake forms drastically simplify patient onboarding. With GoFormz, a link to your Patient Intake form can be easily posted to your website, allowing patients anywhere to enter their name, contact information, and reason for requesting an appointment. Fields can easily be made Required, ensuring critical intake information is captured prior to form submission. Once submitted, forms are instantly available for review and processing, accelerating patient intake, and allowing your practice to respond faster.
Medical History Form
Using the digital Medical History Form, your practice can rapidly capture a patient’s complete medical history, ensuring they are receiving the best possible care. Your practice can access a patient’s input data in real-time, streamlining patient intake and resulting in time-savings that benefit both the practice and patient. With GoFormz, your digital Medical History Form can be easily equipped with Checkboxes, digital Signature boxes, Drop Down menus, and Text fields, allowing patients to easily and efficiently enter their medical history.
Patient Consent form
Collecting a patient’s consent is necessary for a majority of commonplace eye care treatments, for example, digital retinal photography, and dilation. With digital Signature boxes, your digital Patient Consent form can easily capture patient authorization. Once completed, digital Patient Consent forms can be automatically Tagged with a patient’s name or uploaded to a connected system. Patient data can even be pre-populated within Patient Consent forms leveraging the information input into Patient Intake and Medical History forms.
Medical Record Release form
If a patient wishes to have their medical records routed to or transferred from another practice, a Medical Record Release form must be completed to acknowledge their consent. Your digital medical Record Release form can be used to easily capture a patient’s Signature as well as the contact information of their former practice. Once submitted, a PDF copy of the completed Medical Record Release form can be automatically routed to the patient's email address entered within the form, improving communication and providing documentation for a patient’s own records.
