Review and Merge Intake Forms

Updated: 02/22/2025|Views: 19296

When the front office reviews a patient's submitted intake form, they will be required to review each of the sections submitted by the patient.

Information on the left-hand column will reflect the information submitted through the patient intake form. Information on the right-hand column reflects any fields in the system that are different than the information provided through the patient intake form. If the right-hand column is blank, the field is not currently populated in the patient chart.

Conflicting information between the patient intake form and the patient's chart is highlighted in red. Review the submitted patient intake form to determine what to merge into the patient chart or reject all submitted information.

If the patient does not fill out the field(s) in the patient intake form, the field(s) will not be displayed for merging.
