5 Essential Digital Forms for Physical Therapy
HIPAA-secure digital forms for your physical therapy practice
HIPAA-secure digital forms can help your physical therapy practice work more efficiently while prioritizing patient care and data security. Many practices rely on a variety of digital tools to store and access data but often lose information and time within the ‘paper gaps’ in their systems. For example, a physical therapy patient intake form filled out on paper allows room for human error while completing the form, rekeying the form, and more. These errors result in costly delays and error – an obstacle to patient retention. Paper forms also require costly administrative overhead and time-consuming tasks, like filing, scanning, faxing, and rekeying paper form data into computer-based healthcare systems.
Digital form solutions, like GoFormz, make it easy to collect, sanitize, and store data, using phones, tablets, and computers. These digital forms can look exactly like your Physical Therapy practice’s existing documents, or completely new versions. Once a digital form has been submitted, it can be instantly accessed, routed to colleagues and patients, and even uploaded to connected business systems, like Salesforce, Quickbooks, Google Drive, and more. These digital physical therapy forms not only accelerate patient intake and billing but also allow for a more professional, intuitive patient experience.
Ready to digitally transform your physical therapy operation? Explore the five digital physical therapy forms below to learn how your practice can leverage digital documents, from patient intake to billing and beyond.
Digital Physical Therapy Patient Intake forms
When relying on paper forms, patient intake data is often missing, incorrect, or illegible, requiring further feedback from patients and time spent remedying mistakes. With the digital Patient Intake form, new and existing patients can rapidly enter their medical history information, insurance details, and symptoms, which once submitted, are instantly accessible to administrators and medical professionals for review – alleviating administrative bottlenecks that delay patient care. With business logic, easily make patient Signatures, date of birth, and more Required – ensuring critical fields are completed prior to form completion. Once completed, digital Physical Therapy Patient Intake forms can be instantly routed to physical therapists, admins, billing departments, and more.
Digital Physical Therapy Assessment forms
Streamline physiotherapy evaluations with easy to complete digital Physical Therapy Assessment forms. Digital Physical Therapy Assessment forms can be used to rapidly capture a patient’s medical history, functional status, and a varying range of physical therapy-specific assessments (e.g. musculoskeletal assessments, range of motion assessments, and more). These digital forms can host Text fields, which practitioners can use to easily enter assessment data or even leveraging the Speech-to-Text feature to simplify assessment multitasking. Image fields can be used to directly input and annotate relevant patient photos and medical diagrams.
Once completed, a PDF copy of the Physical Therapy Assessment can be instantly emailed to the patient email input into the form, reported on, and uploaded to corresponding records within connected systems.
Digital Medical History Questionnaires
Digital Medical History Questionnaires enable healthcare professionals to rapidly gather the information they need to best treat their patients. Using the digital Medical History Form, physical therapists can capture a patient’s complete medical history, to ensure they are receiving the best possible care – from past healthcare providers to their family’s medical history, allergies, symptoms, and current medication. Digital Medical History Questionnaires 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.
The Medical History Form is available as a free Starter Form Template to our HIPAA-secure edition subscribers. Please contact our Support Team to have this form shared with your account.
Digital Physical Therapy Consent forms
Ensure patients fully understand and consent to treatments and services with the digital Physical Therapy Consent Form. Within digital Physical Therapy Consent forms, physical therapists can clearly state what patients should expect from specific treatments and services, including risks involved and beneficial features. These digital forms can include digital Signature boxes, which can even be made Required, ensuring patients include their authorization prior to submission. Once completed, a PDF copy of the completed Physical Therapy Consent form can be instantly routed to a patient email and instantly uploaded to records within a connected platform.
Digital Treatment/Session Logs
Digital forms provide physical therapy providers and assistants with an efficient means of recording session and treatment notes. These digital Treatment and Session Logs can also leverage Speech-to-Text capabilities, allowing physical therapists to quickly enter treatment information, patient progress, and more. Once completed, these digital logs can be automatically uploaded to a corresponding record within a connected system or routed to other healthcare providers.
