In order to use Medical Forms features, you will need either UMR or RxForms, or both!

Update My Records is included with PatientNow Essentials. UMR is available to other editions as an add-on. If you are interested in adding UMR to your subscription, go to Manage Account > Sign up for add-on services.

RxForms are included in the Ultimate package of PatientNow Essentials. 

Automate Medical Forms

You can find these options under the Integrations tab in Company Settings. You can select which medical form packs will be auto-sent for each: Pre-Service, Post-Service and New Clients.

You can select forms to automatically send for any appointment booked or after any appointment is finalized. You can also specify a form pack for every new client added into the system.

Service Form Packs

You can select form packs from either RxForms or Update My Records (UMR) to send for specific services as well. 

Inventory > Service List > Edit Selected Service > Scheduling

Under this subtab Scheduling, you will see options for Appointment Booked Form Pack and Service Completed Form Pack. You may select a form pack to be sent before and after the service for individual services. This can be useful if you have unique consent forms for specific services, such as Botox. These forms will be sent every time this service is booked and/or every time this service is cashed out.

Med Form Status

When looking at your medical forms through a client's record or directly on the Medical Forms list, you will see status of each medical form sent.

med forms statusStatus Options Listed

Open: No forms have been completed or cancelled. Open forms mean that the documents were sent to your Patient, but have not been completed yet.

Partial: At least one form is completed and at least one form is incomplete

Completed: Completed forms mean they have been filled out and are ready to be viewed and downloaded. To View only, select the icon in the "View" column. To download, select the checkbox for the document(s) you want and then click the Download Checked button.

Cancelled: Forms are canceled when you send the same form pack a second time, while the first form pack is still under a pending status. For example, if you want to resend a Patient the General form pack, the first form pack they received will be canceled while the most recent version of the General form pack will save with the finished documents.

N/A: This status will appear if there is any error in processing the status
