Paperless new-patient forms sent the moment they book
Medical history, consent and insurance forms go out automatically and land in the chart before the visit.
Save ~15 minutes of clipboard time per new patient and start on time.
The problem
Paper forms in the waiting room make visits run late and staff retype everything.
Pain point we researched: Dentalbase: what an empty dental chair really costs
What it could earn or save you
Rough estimate- Time
- About 10 to 15 minutes per new patient
How we got this: Assumes staff currently retype paper forms. Rough estimate. Your results depend on your business; this is an illustrative estimate, not a guarantee.
How to switch it on
- 1
Use the forms in your comms tool (NexHealth, Weave) or a HIPAA-compliant Jotform plan.
- 2
Auto-send at booking, with a reminder 48 hours before.
- 3
Ask for a photo of the insurance card and ID.
- 4
Map fields to the chart so nobody retypes.
