Registration Forms 

There are a number of different ways to have patients fill out their registration forms.

Paper Forms
Have the patient fill out paper forms in your office. Scan them into the Images module, and then shred the original.  No paper chart is needed. 

Patient Forms on Kiosk
Patient Forms are filled out on a Kiosk computer in the dental office.

Web Forms
Web Forms are filled out online before the patient comes in.

Adobe Acrobat Forms
Adobe Acrobat Forms are pdf's that are submitted online or by email.

The forms that we include above are based on these documents.
PatientInfo.doc
MedHistory.doc
The corresponding images of these two files are below. To get these image files, we did a print preview on a very large screen, did a screen capture using Alt-PrintScreen, and cropped it in Corel PhotoPaint.

If you view these images in Internet Explorer, they will probably look very choppy at first.  Just single click on the image itself to toggle to full resolution.  The image quality is quite good.

You are free to adapt these for your own use.  They are only provided as examples to get you started. They are designed in such a way that if you are scanning and shredding, all the signatures are on one page.  Therefore, you only need to scan the page with the signatures.  The other page can be destroyed after keying the information into the computer.

Other Options

Form Director - See formdirector.com.  Import capability.

MedicTalk - See medictalk.com.  No import capability.

PT Dental - See PT Dental.  Import capability.

Online Forms - A variety of services offer online forms that can be filled out by patients.  The information on the form is then typically emailed or securely retrieved by the office. The receptionist must still type the information into Open Dental.  There is no place for patients to sign.  Some companies providing this service include:
patientdocs.com
submitpatientforms.com
www.logiforms.com
formrouter.com (no prices listed, probably too expensive)

Design Services
Some offices may be trying to implement forms for the Kiosk or for Web Forms, but may not have the time or expertise to do so.  If you have existing forms that you would like converted to sheets, we can set them up for you.  We charge a simple rate of $45/hr for these services.  At this time, we do not have a library of forms to pick from, so you would supply the wording and usually the entire original paper form.  The form creation may involve conversion of background to an image.  You can expect each form to take a few hours to set up.  We cannot provide assistance for the more complicated Adobe Acrobat Forms
