Contact, health history and consent for new patients
If you are a healthcare practitioner, having your patients/clients fill out intake forms, aka health history forms, is required by law in most states and provinces. Intake forms also help you better serve your clients by gathering important health history information to help you build more effective treatment plans.

Online patient intake forms give time back to both clients and practitioners. With online forms, new patients can fill out their client intake forms before their appointment - from home - at a time that's convenient for them. This saves them from wasting valuable treatment time filling out paperwork and empowering practitioners to provide better treatment by planning ahead.If you want to reduce paperwork, increase compliance, and save time on admin work, you should consider using online patient intake forms with ClinicSense.

A health history form allows practitioners and therapists to gather important information about their clients or patients that help guide the treatment plan. These forms include items such as contact information, health history, their reason for visiting, written consent forms, and more.
You need up-to-date contact information for your clients. There may be times when you need to get in touch with them about an appointment or share news about your business.
It’s important to know what your client’s current health status is, as well as health issues they have experienced previously. This information may impact your treatment strategy and the effectiveness of your strategy. Even if your client offerings are for relaxation alone - you still need to find out if your client has any conditions that are contraindicated.
Even when a client shares a lot of information about themselves, don’t assume you know why they came to see you. Ask them directly. A successful treatment plan depends on the answer to that question.
Get your clients permission to treat them by requiring a signature at the bottom of your intake form. Briefly describe what they are agreeing to, just to make sure everyone is on the same page.
