You can allow patients to confirm, update, or enter new information using the form question type. Clinics mostly use this type of question to update demographic and medical information in patient charts.
Upon completion, the information is added or updated in the patient chart once you have approved it. This reduces the administrative burden in clinics.
📌 Note: When a patient submits a completed Qnaire with form question types, and you open their patient chart in the CHR, an Update Information Requests window appears. You can either Confirm, Edit, or Reject the incoming patient data and and update the patient chart accordingly. For example, you can ask a patient to enter contact details. Once you have confirmed and applied this information, it automatically appears in the demographics section of the patient chart.
📌 Note: For clinics using Healthcare Directory, when a patient receives a Qnaire that includes questions to identify their preferred pharmacy, family doctor, or referring practitioner, the patient can search for theses contact from the Healthcare Directory.
If the question is configured to populate the patient data points in the chart, the Referring Practitioner, Family Doctor, and Preferred Pharmacy widgets will show the Patient Reported label if a patient selected it from the Healthcare Directory while filling out a Qnaire.
