Forms

<h2>Summary:</h2><p>The secret to creating user-friendly forms lies in using a logical flow, mobile-responsive design, leveraging conditional logic, and straightforward but impactful features like pre-filled fields, the ability to upload documents and collect electronic signatures.</p><p>Patient intake forms are often the first point of contact for new and returning patients, and they play a very important role in setting the tone for their experience. Overly complex or confusing intake forms can very easily create frustration, delays, and disturb a patient’s impression of your organization.</p><p>In this blog we explore the benefits of user-friendly patient intake forms. We'll also delve into eight key practices to ensure your online intake forms are efficient, informative, and super mobile-friendly.</p><p>Here's how user-friendly patient intake forms benefit both your practice and your patients.</p><ul><li><strong>Improved Patient Experience:</strong> Streamlined forms reduce wait times and anxiety for patients, leading to higher satisfaction.</li><li><strong>Increased Efficiency:</strong> Staff can spend less time deciphering handwriting or correcting errors, allowing them to focus on patient care.</li><li><strong>Enhanced Data Accuracy:</strong> Clear and concise forms minimize errors during data entry, improving the accuracy of your patient records.</li><li><strong>Boosted Patient Engagement:</strong> User-friendly forms encourage patients to complete them fully, providing valuable information for their care.</li></ul><h2>What are Patient Intake Forms and Who Uses Them?</h2><p>Patient intake forms collect essential demographic, medical history, insurance, and reason-for-visit information. Patient intake forms are used by a variety of healthcare providers across multiple settings.</p><ul><li><strong>Medical Practices: </strong>Doctors' offices use patient intake forms to gather essential health information before a patient's appointment.

Here are eight key principles to consider:</p><h3>1. Keep it Simple and Clear:</h3><ul><li><strong>Logical Flow:</strong> Consider the patient journey as they complete the form. Group information into clear sections (demographics, medical history, insurance) and arrange questions in a logical sequence that follows this journey. This intuitive structure minimizes confusion and guides patients effortlessly.</li><li><strong>Minimize Medical Jargon:</strong> Avoid medical jargon that your patients might not understand. Opt for plain language that is clear and concise.</li></ul><p>If a specific term is necessary, consider adding a tooltip that appears on hover, providing a brief explanation without cluttering the form.</p><p>Here’s an example, instead of "Date of Birth (DOB)," use "Date you were born." Add a tooltip explaining "Please enter your date of birth in MM/DD/YYYY format."</p><figure class="image"><img alt="makeforms-date-format.webp" src="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/makeforms_date_format_883ed9c893.webp" srcset="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/thumbnail_makeforms_date_format_883ed9c893.webp 245w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/small_makeforms_date_format_883ed9c893.webp 500w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/medium_makeforms_date_format_883ed9c893.webp 750w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/large_makeforms_date_format_883ed9c893.webp 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"></figure><h3>2. Mobile-Friendly Design</h3><p>Did you know, over 70% of internet users access forms via smartphones and tablets? This is why it’s crucial to create online forms that are mobile-friendly.</p><p>Start by ensuring a font size of at least 16px for comfortable reading on mobile devices. Small fonts can be frustrating and lead to errors, so prioritize clarity and readability.</p><figure class="image"><img alt="MakeForms-responsive-design.png" src="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/Make_Forms_responsive_design_bf8bf003d0.png" srcset="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/thumbnail_Make_Forms_responsive_design_bf8bf003d0.png 245w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/small_Make_Forms_responsive_design_bf8bf003d0.png 500w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/medium_Make_Forms_responsive_design_bf8bf003d0.png 750w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/large_Make_Forms_responsive_design_bf8bf003d0.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"></figure><p>Next, use a form builder that automatically adjusts the layout for optimal viewing on various devices. This eliminates the need for patients to zoom in and out or scroll excessively, creating a smooth experience regardless of the device used.</p><h3>3. Leverage Conditional Logic</h3><p>Conditional logic allows the form to adapt dynamically based on previous answers. This streamlines the process for patients and reduces errors:</p><p>Example 1: If a patient selects "no" for "Do you have any allergies?", hide the question "Please list your allergies." There's no need to burden patients with questions that don't apply to their situation.</p><figure class="image"><img alt="makeforms-conditional-logic-form-builder.webp" src="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/makeforms_conditional_logic_form_builder_fad789cf13.webp" srcset="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/thumbnail_makeforms_conditional_logic_form_builder_fad789cf13.webp 245w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/small_makeforms_conditional_logic_form_builder_fad789cf13.webp 500w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/medium_makeforms_conditional_logic_form_builder_fad789cf13.webp 750w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/large_makeforms_conditional_logic_form_builder_fad789cf13.webp 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"></figure><p>This ensures you collect the most relevant information for each patient without overwhelming them with irrelevant questions.</p><h3>4. Save Time for Everyone:</h3><p><strong>Pre-Filled Fields:</strong> Utilize existing patient records to pre-populate certain fields (name, address, date of birth) whenever possible. This reduces redundancy and saves valuable time for both patients and staff.</p><p><strong>Auto-Save Progress: </strong>Allow patients to save their progress and return later to complete the form at their own pace. This is especially helpful for patients who may need to gather information before finishing the form.</p><figure class="image"><img alt="Auto-Save-Progress-MakeForms.png" src="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/Auto_Save_Progress_Make_Forms_bd229a6846.png" srcset="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/thumbnail_Auto_Save_Progress_Make_Forms_bd229a6846.png 245w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/small_Auto_Save_Progress_Make_Forms_bd229a6846.png 500w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/medium_Auto_Save_Progress_Make_Forms_bd229a6846.png 750w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/large_Auto_Save_Progress_Make_Forms_bd229a6846.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"></figure><p><strong>Progress Indicators:</strong> Display a progress bar or completion percentage to keep patients informed of their progress throughout the form. This transparency helps manage expectations and prevents frustration.</p><figure class="image"><img alt="progress-indicators-makeforms-forms-builder.png" src="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/progress_indicators_makeforms_forms_builder_0d50f9ba60.png" srcset="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/thumbnail_progress_indicators_makeforms_forms_builder_0d50f9ba60.png 245w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/small_progress_indicators_makeforms_forms_builder_0d50f9ba60.png 500w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/medium_progress_indicators_makeforms_forms_builder_0d50f9ba60.png 750w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/large_progress_indicators_makeforms_forms_builder_0d50f9ba60.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"></figure><p><strong>Error Prompts and Real-time Validation:</strong> Implement features that highlight errors as the user completes the form. This allows for immediate correction and prevents inaccurate data entry.</p><figure class="image"><img alt="Error-Prompts-and-Real-time-Validation.png" src="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/Error_Prompts_and_Real_time_Validation_8538fa6e77.png" srcset="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/thumbnail_Error_Prompts_and_Real_time_Validation_8538fa6e77.png 245w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/small_Error_Prompts_and_Real_time_Validation_8538fa6e77.png 500w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/medium_Error_Prompts_and_Real_time_Validation_8538fa6e77.png 750w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/large_Error_Prompts_and_Real_time_Validation_8538fa6e77.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"></figure><h3>5. Make your forms a one-stop shop:</h3><p><strong>Allow Uploading Documents:</strong> Streamline the process by allowing patients to upload insurance cards, IDs, or other relevant documents directly through the form. This eliminates the need for separate paper submissions and reduces paperwork burdens.</p><figure class="image"><img alt="Allow-Uploading-Documents-MakeForms-Builder.png" src="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/Allow_Uploading_Documents_Make_Forms_Builder_320f08381e.png" srcset="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/thumbnail_Allow_Uploading_Documents_Make_Forms_Builder_320f08381e.png 245w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/small_Allow_Uploading_Documents_Make_Forms_Builder_320f08381e.png 500w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/medium_Allow_Uploading_Documents_Make_Forms_Builder_320f08381e.png 750w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/large_Allow_Uploading_Documents_Make_Forms_Builder_320f08381e.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"></figure><p><strong>Enable Electronic Signatures: </strong>Offer the option for patients to electronically sign consent forms. This not only saves time but also ensures a secure and readily accessible record of patient consent.</p><figure class="image"><img alt="Enable-Electronic-Signatures-online-form-builder-makeforms.png" src="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/Enable_Electronic_Signatures_online_form_builder_makeforms_7092a8c0ec.png" srcset="https://website-assets.makeforms.io/thumbnail_Enable_Electronic_Signatures_online_form_builder_makeforms_7092a8c0ec.png 245w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/small_Enable_Electronic_Signatures_online_form_builder_makeforms_7092a8c0ec.png 500w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/medium_Enable_Electronic_Signatures_online_form_builder_makeforms_7092a8c0ec.png 750w, https://website-assets.makeforms.io/large_Enable_Electronic_Signatures_online_form_builder_makeforms_7092a8c0ec.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"></figure><h3>6. Streamline Workflow With EHR Integration</h3><p>Imagine a world where patient information seamlessly flows from your intake form directly into your Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.</p><p>EHR integration eliminates the need for manual data entry, saving staff time and minimizing errors. This translates to:</p><ul><li><strong>Reduced Administrative Burden:</strong> No more double-entry of patient data. Information entered on the intake form automatically populates relevant fields in the EHR, freeing up staff for more patient-centered tasks.</li><li><strong>Improved Data Accuracy:</strong> Real-time integration minimizes the risk of typos or inconsistencies in patient records, ensuring the accuracy of your data for better informed treatment decisions.</li><li><strong>Enhanced Patient Care:</strong> Faster access to complete and accurate patient information allows healthcare providers to deliver more efficient and personalized care.</li></ul><p>Choosing an EHR-integrated form builder ensures a smooth workflow and maximizes the benefits of your EHR system.</p><h3>7. Keep it Secure</h3><p>Patient data security is paramount in healthcare. User-friendly forms should also prioritize security measures to ensure compliance with regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)</p><p>This helps build trust with your patients and ensure their information remains protected.</p><p>Here's what to look for:</p><ul><li><strong>Secure Data Encryption:</strong> Ensure the form builder utilizes secure encryption protocols to protect sensitive patient information during transmission and storage.</li><li><strong>Access Controls:</strong> Limit access to patient data based on user roles and permission levels within your practice.</li><li><strong>Compliance Features:</strong> Choose a form builder that offers built-in features to comply with relevant regulations, such as audit trails and two-factor authentication.</li></ul><h3>8. Offer Accessibility Features</h3><p>Creating user-friendly forms extends to ensuring accessibility for all patients, regardless of ability. Here are some key features to consider:</p><ul><li><strong>Screen Reader Compatibility:</strong> The form should be compatible with screen reader software used by visually impaired patients. This allows them to access and complete the form independently.</li><li><strong>Keyboard Navigation:</strong> Ensure the form can be navigated entirely using a keyboard, providing an alternative option for patients who may have difficulty using a mouse or touchpad.</li><li><strong>Color Contrast:</strong> Maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background to improve readability for patients with visual impairments.</li><li><strong>Clear Language and Instructions:</strong> Use plain language and clear instructions that are easy to understand for patients with varying literacy levels.</li></ul><p>By incorporating accessibility features, you demonstrate inclusivity and ensure all patients can easily complete your intake forms.</p><h2>Sample Questions to Include in a Patient Intake Form</h2><p>The specific questions included in a patient intake form will vary depending on your practice and specialty. However, we’ve listed some general categories for you to consider:</p><ul><li><strong>Personal and Demographic Information:</strong> Includes name, address, phone number, date of birth, etc.</li><li><strong>Emergency Contact Details:</strong> Gathers name and contact information of a person to be reached in case of emergency.</li><li><strong>Insurance and Billing Information:</strong> Collects insurance provider details, policy number, and billing information.</li><li><strong>Medical History:</strong> Includes the patient’s past medical conditions, surgeries, allergies, medications, and immunizations.</li><li><strong>Lifestyle Information:</strong> Includes diet, exercise habits, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and sleep patterns.</li><li><strong>Primary Care and Referral Information:</strong> Includes the name and contact information of the patient's primary care physician (if applicable).</li><li><strong>Reason for Visit:</strong> A clear and concise description of the patient's presenting symptoms or concerns.</li><li><strong>Consent and Agreements:</strong> Consent for treatment, privacy policy acknowledgements, and other relevant agreements.</li></ul><h2>Why Choose MakeForms?</h2><p>Choosing patient intake forms that are easy to use is an investment in the efficiency and quality of treatment your practice offers.

<p>Whether you're a seasoned healthcare provider or just starting your journey in the field, navigating the complexities of HIPAA regulations can be daunting. Which is why we have created an all-encompassing HIPAA forms glossary that will serve as your go-to resource for decoding the intricate language surrounding HIPAA compliance, specifically in forms.</p><p>Before we get to the HIPAA forms glossary, it is important that we understand exactly what HIPAA is and why understanding HIPAA terminology is important.</p><h2>What is HIPAA and Why Understanding HIPAA Terminology is Important?</h2><p>HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a federal law in the United States established to safeguard patients' medical information. &nbsp;The law has been set up to ensure the security and privacy of protected health information (PHI) as well as to set the standards for its disclosure, use, and protection.</p><p>When it comes to handling sensitive patient information, you absolutely cannot take any chances. It is imperative for every healthcare professional or facility dealing with patient health information to understand all HIPAA terms without any confusion. If you don't understand these, you could easily violate HIPAA without even realizing it which can lead to costly fines, lawsuits, and a serious breach of trust with your patients.</p><p>Understanding HIPAA terminology allows healthcare professionals to implement necessary safeguards and navigate legal requirements. By knowing key terms, your medical staff can uphold HIPAA standards, mitigate risks of breaches, and build trust with patients.</p><p>Additionally, familiarity with HIPAA terms cultivates a culture of respect and accountability for patient confidentiality within healthcare organizations as well. Ultimately, this promotes better care delivery!</p><p>Now let us get to the HIPAA glossary, in alphabetic order:</p><h2>HIPAA Glossary Terms You Need To Know - Explained In Detail</h2><h3>1. Access Control</h3><p>This refers to the mechanisms and measures employed to allow only authorized users, programs or processes access to information systems that contain protected health information within a healthcare facility. You can think of it as a digital lock and key intended to keep patient data safe.</p><h3>2. Administrative Safeguards</h3><p>The policies and procedures put in place to detect, contain, correct, and prevent security violations to protect electronic protected health information (ePHI) are known as Administrative Safeguards. It is like the rulebook that guides how healthcare professionals handle sensitive patient information.</p><h3>3. Audit Trail</h3><p>A digital record that logs and retains information about activities and events involving ePHI. It is an electronic footprint of who accessed, used, or made changes to what patient information and when.</p><h3>4. Authorization</h3><p>It is the permission granted by the patient for use or disclosure of their PHI. Authorization is to be taken by hospitals and other healthcare facilities when they plan on using or sharing patient health information in specific ways. This cannot be done by healthcare facilities until they have the green light from their patients.</p><h3>5. Breach</h3><p>A breach occurs when there's unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of PHI that compromises the privacy or security of that information.</p><h3>6. Breach Notification Rule</h3><p>Requirements and regulations that mandate covered entities to notify affected individuals, HHS and potentially the media if there's been a breach of PHI.</p><h3>7. Business Associate</h3><p>An outside entity that creates, receives, maintains or transmits PHI to perform functions, services, or activities on behalf of (or for) a covered entity. This is a person or organization that helps healthcare providers, like a hospital or doctor's office, carry out healthcare activities.</p><h3>8. Confidentiality</h3><p>Confidentiality is the principle that patient information should be kept secure and private. It is an assurance provided by the individual or organization collecting the form that the patient's health information will only be accessible to authorized persons or entities.</p><h3>9. Consent</h3><p>It is a written approval taken from patients for the use and disclosure of their protected health information for specific purposes. The purpose can involve payment, treatment, and healthcare operations</p><h3>10. Covered Entity</h3><p>Covered Entities or CE refers to health plans (insurance companies, HMOs), healthcare providers (doctors, hospitals, clinics), and healthcare clearinghouses that electronically transmit protected health information. All CEs need to comply with HIPAA security rules to protect patient data.</p><h3>11. Covered Functions</h3><p>Those functions or tasks of a CE that make the entity subject to HIPAA's Privacy and Security Rules regarding PHI. Simply put, these are different tasks or jobs within a healthcare organization that involve patient information and come under the HIPAA rule.</p><h3>12. Data Encryption</h3><p>Data encryption is essentially the process of converting comprehensible information into an unreadable format. This is done using an algorithm designed to prevent unauthorized access to protected health information.</p><h3>13. Designated Record Set</h3><p>This is a group of records kept and maintained containing PHI by or for a covered entity. It is like a folder that contains all the critical documents concerning a patient's healthcare.</p><h3>14. De-identification</h3><p>The procedure of removing or altering personal identifiers from protected information for the prevention of individual patient identification.</p><h3>15. Disclosure</h3><p>Disclosure, in terms of HIPAA, is when PHI is shared, released, transferred, or provided access to someone outside of the organization/entity.</p><h3>16. Health Oversight Agency</h3><p>This is a government agency authorized and responsible for overseeing and enforcing healthcare systems, laws, and regulations. It is a watchdog assigned by the US government to ensure everyone follows the rules in the healthcare world.</p><h3>17. Indirect Treatment Relationship</h3><p>This is when a healthcare provider extends treatment to a patient as per the directions or orders of another healthcare provider.</p><h3>18. Minimum Necessary Rule</h3><p>This is a rule dictating that only the minimum necessary PHI needed to achieve a certain purpose shall be used or disclosed. At the code level, moreover, developers must implement measures that limit as well as access privileges.</p><h3>19. Personal Representative</h3><p>This is a person legally authorized to make healthcare decisions on behalf of another individual. The decisions are regarding matters involving that individual's protected health information.</p><h3>20. Physical Safeguards</h3><p>The physical measures, guidelines, policies, and procedures established and implemented to protect a covered entity's electronic information systems from unauthorized intrusion and environmental hazards.</p><h3>21. Privacy Rule</h3><p>A set of federal standards designed and followed to protect patients’ medical records and other personal health information. The Privacy Rule establishes requirements for use and disclosure of the PHI by covered entities.</p><h3>22. Protected Health Information (PHI) or ePHI</h3><p>PHI is any information about a patient's health condition, status, prescribed treatment, or payment for healthcare that can be linked to them. ePHI is PHI that is transmitted electronically that contains all the details of a patient's medical history.</p><h3>23. Risk Assessment</h3><p>It is the process and protocol of identifying, evaluating and estimating potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of ePHI. Risk assessment helps you map out all the possible risks to patient information and figure out how to avoid them.</p><h3>24. Security Rule</h3><p>A set of HIPAA requirements and standards regarding administrative, technical, as well as physical safeguards for maintaining and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of ePHI.</p><h3>25. Technical Safeguards</h3><p>These are measures, policies, and regulations employed to protect PHI during electronic transmission. For example encryption and access controls. These digital barriers help to keep patient information safe from hackers.</p><h3>26. Unsecured PHI</h3><p>The PHI that has not been rendered unreadable, indecipherable, undecodable, and unusable through approved technologies or methodologies prescribed by HHS.</p><h3>27. Workforce</h3><p>This encompasses individuals such as employees, trainees, volunteers, and other personnel whose actions are directly overseen and regulated by a covered entity.</p><h2>Now You Can Navigate HIPAA Regulations with Confidence</h2><p>We know how important it is to master HIPAA terms for healthcare professionals to uphold patient privacy and comply with legal standards.
