E-Forms

Eliminate paperwork and improve the efficiency of your practice with E-Forms, the latest feature from R4 Clinical+. Designed to help you transition to a paperless working environment, E-Forms delivers required patient forms directly to the patient’s email address prior to his or her scheduled appointment.

To complete the forms, the patient simply clicks on the link provided in the email to access a secure webpage. From here, the patient can see any forms that need to be completed—such as medical consent forms or questionnaires, for example.

Once completed, the patient can then review the information and, with just one click, electronically deliver his or her information right to your R4 database. The form is automatically stored in the appropriate patient’s existing record, and at the patient’s next visit, it can be digitally signed on a touch screen during registration.

E-Forms

 

R4 Clinical+ also inlcudes E-Forms
So your practice can be paper free

E-Forms is a brand new feature within R4 Clinical+ that is designed to eliminated all patient-centred paperwork within the practice.

Patient forms are sent by email and filled in online—when a patient makes an appointment, R4 automatically sends an email prior to their appointment (according to the number of days you select) to let the patient know that he or she has form/forms that need to be completed and/or updated.

 

 

 

How it Works:

  • The patient clicks on the link provided in the email
  • and is directed to a secure patient home page
  • From here, the patient can view a list of all forms that need to be completed, such as medical questionnaires or consent forms
  • The patient accesses and completes the form
  • Once completed, information is displayed on the screen for review
  • After confirming information is correct, the patient clicks a single "submit" button
  • The patient's data is then sent directly to your R4 database and stored in the patient's record 
     

 

Once your practice receives the form , you can then open it and review any changes that have been made.

If the changes are accepted, the new information is then stored in R4 and added to the patient's existing record. You can even make make notes and store them in the record.

At the patient's next visit, the forms can be digitally signed at your practice. When patients attend an appointment, they can easily access the form on a touch screen (typically located in the reception) and sign the form electronically—completely eliminating the need for paper forms.
