First, make sure that you have set up your API keys for your practitioners. Please read HERE.

Check how you can create and customize the questions of your digital patient form HERE.

Form Templates can be found in Automations.

You can send the patient forms via email so your patients can fill the form at their own convenience and the answers will pop-up on your Cliniko immediately after submission.

TIP:
Research shows SMS delivery rate is 70% higher than emails and its open rates are as high as 98%, compared to just 20% of all emails this is the best type of form for you to send if you want a better completion rate.

Step by step guide

CREATE A FORM IN FORM TEMPLATE PAGE:

FORM QUESTIONS:

Patient Details - Select the information you wish to get from your patient relevant to their details. For more information check the intro article HERE.

Other Questions - Select the Treatment Notes Template you created in Cliniko that has all questions that you wish your patients to answer.

Every section of the treatment notes will be displayed in a separate page of the form. You can create your customised patient form by creating your own treatment note template on your Cliniko in Settings->Treatment Note Template.

Answers from your patients will be saved as a draft in their treatment notes, the practitioner can then accept them as final.

You can also select "Copy data to patient notes' if you wish to have the answers also saved as notes in the patient details.

Note: using an asterisk at the end of your treatment note in your practice management software makes the field mandatory to your patients. Thus, they cannot submit the form if these fields are not filled.

OPTIONAL:

  • Copy data to patient notes

  • Body Chart

For Nookal and Coreplus users you will need to add the questions in your Cliniq Apps account.

APPEARANCE:

Design and brand your patient form.
