Patient Portal - Requesting Forms

Forms are sent to the patient as part of the automatic appointment reminder process. Your automatic appointment reminder settings should already be setup but you can review these here. When EXACT send an automated reminder it looks to see if the patient is required to do any forms and sends those to their individual portal ready for them to complete.

How does EXACT know which forms to send. This is different per form and the configuration area can be found under Configure->Appointment Book->Arrival Options.

Lets go through each of the forms.

Medical History - In the Arrival Options section click on Medical History. The ‘Alert if Medical History’ setting will determine this with 0 meaning don't send a form and a numeric value being how long after successfully completing a medical history to send another. For example if the value is 6 it will only send a form to the portal when the Medical History is 6 months out of date.
