Mental Health Intake

Sensitive screening with smart conditional logic

Mental health intake requires sensitivity and depth. This workflow uses Formisoft's conditional logic to guide patients through validated screening instruments (PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety), detailed medical and medication history, consent and confidentiality agreements, and emergency contact information. The form adapts based on responses, showing follow-up questions only when clinically relevant, so patients aren't overwhelmed by irrelevant fields.
