Streamline telehealth and digital healthcare services with HIPAA-secure digital forms

The coronavirus has resulted in the rapid adoption of digital platforms within healthcare operations. From virtual therapy sessions to coronavirus screenings, video conferencing and digital tools have become an absolute necessity for healthcare providers offering care in the time of social distancing. 

Mobile forms provide an easy solution for healthcare professionals looking to gather information as well as consent and authorizations, from patients while social distancing. Using GoFormz’s HIPAA-secure edition, healthcare professionals can easily digitize and share their forms with patients and colleagues, no matter their location. Leveraging the GoFormz Public Forms feature, links to fillable mobile forms can be seamlessly shared with patients (via email or by including the link on your website). Once submitted, digital telehealth forms can be instantly processed and reviewed, eliminating obstacles to patient intake and accelerating your team’s response times. 

Your digital telehealth forms can be equipped with a variety of fields to meet your data capture needs, including Text fields, Signature fields, Required fields, Image fields, Likert Scales, instant calculations, and more. Digital telehealth forms can also be configured to automatically route completed copies to patients, upload to connected applications, and more. 

Here are five of the most frequently used digital telehealth forms and information on how your operation can customize each form to provide more efficient, comprehensive care: 

Telehealth Consent Form

Ensure patients fully understand and consent to telehealth procedures with the digital Telehealth Consent Form. Within the Telehealth Consent Form, medical professionals can clearly state what patients should expect from your practice’s telehealth procedures, including risks involved and beneficial features. Your digital Telehealth Consent Forms can include digital Signature boxes, which can even be made Required, ensuring patients include their authorization prior to submission. PDF copies of completed Telehealth Consent Forms can be instantly routed to designated healthcare professionals and patients, utilizing Automated Workflows. 

Patient Intake forms

With the digital Patient Intake form, new and existing patients can rapidly enter their medical history and symptoms, which once submitted, are instantly accessible to administrators and medical professionals for review. Real-time access to patient data alleviates time-wasting bottlenecks to patient care, without compromising the accuracy or security of collected data. 

With easy to use Date fields, patients can rapidly enter their date of birth, date of treatments and procedures, and more. Using Image fields, patients can even include images of injuries and other concerns, as well as photos of their insurance card or identification, for review by healthcare professionals. Leveraging Checkbox Groups, patients can quickly and clearly note their symptoms and medical history details.

Medical History Questionnaire

Medical History forms enable healthcare professionals to gather the information they need to best treat their patients.

Leveraging digital forms to collect medical history data, healthcare professionals 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 Required fields, ensure patients enter their complete medical history, eliminating opportunities for miscommunications or human error. Via Conditional Logic, additional fields can dynamically appear in response to entered data, prompting patients to add further information.
