Patient Experience: Complete Patient Intake Form

Updated: 11/02/2023|Views: 21695

When users send intake forms to a patient, the patient receives an email and/or text with a link to the forms. The web form is responsive-- allowing patients to fill out their intake forms on a computer or on their smartphones and tablets. The link will expire after the appointment.

The complete forms can be reviewed by the practice and merged into a patient's chart. When available, providers can then review the submitted medical history and screening tools.

Available for Engage subscribers.
