Always get the information you need with required fields. Patients can only submit their information to you when they complete all of the required fields. Never receive an incomplete new patient form again. When a patient attempts to submit an incomplete form, they will be instructed to go back and complete the missing information.
Communicating to your patient what information is required and what is optional can be a valuable resource in getting your forms back completed.
Not all fields may be applicable to the patient, so designating required fields will ensure your patient is giving you what is needed, every time.
If patients need to sign in multiple places, it can be time consuming to have the patient go back through the form to collect any missing signatures.
Requiring signatures will alert the patient when they have missed a form or section. If the patient is a minor, the guardian may also be alerted for required signatures.
For larger forms, it may take your patient 30+ minutes to complete all of the need information. Instead of the patient rushing through your form and submitting something incomplete, have your patient save their progress.
Once a patient saves their form progress, they may continue filling out the form at a later time and finish the remaining required fields.
