About this template

A patient intake form that arrives complete before the first visit: contact details, emergency contact, presenting concern, medications, and allergies. All legible, structured, and done on the patient's own couch instead of a waiting-room clipboard.

Clipboard intake wastes the first fifteen minutes of every new-patient appointment and produces the least legible records in the practice. Sending this form with the appointment confirmation moves that work to home, where patients can actually check their medication names and dosages instead of guessing from memory.

The medication and allergy questions are required with explicit 'write none' guidance. The difference between a blank field and a confirmed 'none known' matters clinically. Note: for HIPAA-regulated US practices, verify your compliance requirements before collecting patient data through any general-purpose form tool; Formly is EU-hosted and GDPR compliant.

Tips for better results

  • 1Send the form with the appointment confirmation and remind non-completers the day before.
  • 2Password-protect the form if you want intake restricted to booked patients.
  • 3Have staff review submissions each morning so flags (allergies, medication interactions) surface before the visit.
  • 4Set a retention routine: export to your practice system and delete submissions on a schedule that matches your data policy.

Frequently asked questions

Is this form HIPAA compliant?

Formly is GDPR compliant and hosted in Europe, but does not currently offer HIPAA Business Associate Agreements. US practices subject to HIPAA should verify their compliance requirements before collecting patient health information through any form tool.

How is patient data protected?

Data is hosted in Europe under GDPR, with no cookies or respondent tracking. You can password-protect forms, restrict workspace access, and delete submissions after transferring them to your records system.

Can I adapt this for my specialty?

Yes. Add specialty-specific questions (injury history for physio, dental history, etc.) in the editor, or ask Formly's AI to adapt the form to your practice.
