Patient Intake for Gastroenterology Practices

Streamlined GI intake with symptom tracking and procedure consent

Gastroenterology practices handle a wide spectrum of digestive health concerns, from routine colonoscopy screenings to complex inflammatory bowel disease management. Formisoft's digital intake forms capture the detailed GI-specific history that gastroenterologists need—symptom timelines, bowel habit patterns, dietary triggers, family GI history, and prior procedure results—all completed by the patient before they arrive. This eliminates lengthy questionnaires in the waiting room and ensures your clinical team has thorough data for every consultation.

Patient Intake for Gastroenterology Practices

Procedure consent is a cornerstone of gastroenterology practice, and Formisoft simplifies this critical step. Whether it is an upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, or liver biopsy, patients receive procedure-specific consent forms that clearly explain the preparation requirements, risks, alternatives, and sedation details. Electronic signatures and automated delivery mean consent is documented before the procedure date, reducing day-of delays and cancellations.

Formisoft also supports the unique workflow needs of GI practices, including prep instruction delivery, split-prep reminders, and dietary questionnaires for conditions like celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Webhooks and API access let you connect intake data, symptom assessments, and consent documents to your clinical system through third-party integration platforms.
