Form preview

The Emergency Contact Form ensures your practice has up-to-date contact information for the people patients want notified in case of a medical emergency. It captures primary and secondary emergency contacts with their relationship to the patient, multiple phone numbers, and availability preferences. Having this information readily accessible is critical for patient safety and timely communication.
Beyond basic contact details, this form identifies individuals authorized to make medical decisions on the patient's behalf and those permitted to receive protected health information. Patients can specify different contacts for different purposes, such as one person for emergencies and another for billing inquiries. This granular approach respects patient autonomy while ensuring compliance with HIPAA authorization requirements.
Used across all healthcare settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, surgical centers, and long-term care facilities. This form is especially important for elderly patients, pediatric practices where multiple guardians may be involved, and surgical facilities where next-of-kin notification is a regulatory requirement.
