Don’t Complicate: Simplify Your Forms with Conditional Logic

Ever notice your patients entering multiple “Not Applicable” entries or becoming frustrated with the length of your intake forms?

These are common problems for many medical practices and offices alike. As regulations increase, more and more information is needed from patients and section after section gets added to the intake form – whether the need for that information is relevant to everyone or not.

Using if/then logic, we’ve created forms that are not only customized but streamlined as well. For example, gender-specific physical information can be hidden when not applicable. Whole sections of medical history can remain out of sight if the patient has had no problems in those areas. The same principles are used in multiple applications, from tax software to online assessments, in order to reduce the amount of information the client must read and consume.

Benefits of forms driven by conditional logic:

✓Improved accuracy  

✓Fewer missed/overlooked questions

✓Time saved  

✓Increased patient satisfaction  

✓More complete medical records  

Patients tend to get lost in large documents. They may inadvertently fill out the wrong question or simply abandon the task in frustration. With conditional logic, showing questions that are only applicable to the patient who is filling out the form provides a much better experience, all while reducing their time spent on completing your online intake forms and the back-and-forth questions in the process.
