Does reception still have to type the answers into the patient profile?

No. This is where you save hours. You can configure structured answers (like address or emergency contact) to automatically update the patient's profile fields without any manual data entry.

How do the doctors see the filled forms?

Completed forms are attached directly to the patient's profile. Clinicians can review medical history or consent forms from their treatment screen without asking reception to hunt for paper files.

Problem

Paper is not the only problem. The chase is.

A form can look small until it is missing. Then reception pauses, the patient waits, and the clinical team starts with half the story.

Patients wait to do paperwork

Patients sit in your waiting room filling out paper while the dentist waits. Arrival shouldn't mean a clipboard.

Medical alerts get buried

Critical medical history gets lost in paper folders. Your clinicians shouldn't hunt for allergies while the patient is in the chair.

Consent becomes a chase

Chasing paper consent forms creates friction. Missing signatures shouldn't delay treatment or create legal blind spots.

How it works

From form setup to prepared appointment.

Digital Forms turns patient information collection into a repeatable workflow: build the form, collect the response, review the details, and keep the record connected.

🧰

Setup

Build the clinic form

Create intake, medical history/anamnesis, patient experience, consent-support, or other clinic-defined forms with the fields your workflow needs.

☑️

Fields

Use structured questions

Single choice, check boxes, short answers, ratings, dates, date and time fields, and signatures keep answers easier to review than loose paper.

📨

Patient

Collect before the visit

Use forms as part of arrival preparation so patients can provide key details before reception depends on them at the desk.

👀

Review

Review in patient context

Completed forms can appear from the patient profile, helping front desk and clinical users work from the same record instead of detached files.

🔄

Record

Update selected details

Where configured, answers can update selected patient fields with setup-controlled fill-if-empty or overwrite behaviour.

FAQ

Digital Forms

Do patients actually fill these out before arriving?

Yes. When you send forms via SMS or WhatsApp before the appointment, most patients complete them at home. It removes the friction of arriving early just to hold a clipboard.

Can we use our own medical history questions?

Absolutely. You don't have to force your clinic's anamnesis process into a rigid template. Build exact question flows using single choice, text, dates, or signatures based on what your clinical team needs.

FAQ

Patient Workflow

Are digital consent signatures legally acceptable?

Medicasimple captures digital signatures securely tied to the patient's record, which provides strong audit trails. Your clinic still uses its own approved consent wording and maintains its clinical responsibility.

What happens if a patient skips a mandatory question?

You can mark specific fields as required. The form won't submit until they answer it, ensuring your clinicians never walk into a treatment room with an incomplete medical history.
