Intake Form

Digital intake forms replace paper clipboards and enable pre-visit data collection via email or text message links.

Multi-Page Form
A form divided into multiple pages or sections (e.g., Demographics, Insurance, Medical History, Consent) for easier completion. Multi-page forms reduce cognitive load, show progress indicators, and allow patients to complete intake in manageable steps. Progress is saved automatically between pages.
Pre-Fill
The ability to automatically populate form fields with known patient data from URL parameters, previous visits, or patient records. Pre-filling reduces redundant data entry. Returning patients do not have to re-enter their name, address, and insurance information every visit.
Magic Link
A secure, single-use URL sent to a patient via email or SMS that allows them to access and complete their intake forms without creating an account or remembering a password. Magic links expire after a set period and can only be used once, maintaining security while eliminating friction for patients.
E-Signature
An electronic signature captured on a digital form, legally equivalent to a handwritten signature for most healthcare purposes. Used for consent agreements, treatment authorizations, HIPAA acknowledgments, and financial responsibility forms. Typically captured with timestamp, IP address, and device metadata for legal validity.
