About patient intake forms
When you use patient intake forms with RXNT, your patient documents are automatically saved to the Patient Dashboard in the documents section. Your front desk and records staff no longer need to manually scan and upload intake documents to the patient's chart. RXNT is doing the work for you!
Our intake forms are fully customizable and include a number of pre-built components as well as optional custom components. This means that you will always be able to capture the important information that you need for your patients. The exact type and arrangement of the intake form options are completely up to you! Using intake forms with RXNT allows your practice to provide patients with these documents as soon as they are scheduled for an appointment. Since they receive them electronically as soon as you send them, patients no longer have to wait until they arrive at the office to fill out paperwork, eliminating schedule delays.
Use intake forms to get your patient's full demographic profile by using Quick Add to create the patient in RXNT. Then, send the patient an intake form to collect their demographics and automatically add the details to their profile. Learn more about automatic demographic sync.
