This article covers how you can create a medical form questionnaire, how you can set it to be the default form, how to connect it with client notifications, and how it interacts with the client card.

Step 1: Navigate to Setup

Start by logging in to your Pabau account using your login credentials. Then, navigate to Setup and find ''Forms'' under the Clinical section.

Step 4: Request to be Completed Prior to the Appointment

A very important step in this stage is to make sure the 'Request to be completed prior to appointment' toggle is enabled so the form is automatically sent when the client books the service that it's linked to.

Step 5: Set Form as Default

After creating the form, to set it as the default one, go to the medical forms page, find your form in the list, and click on the three dots on the far right side.

This action will reveal the option to set the form as default.

Step 6: Navigate to the Client Card

Search for a client in the search bar to access a client card. When you set an Intake/Medical History Questionnaire form as default, you will be able to send this form directly from the client card to each client.

In the client card, open the EMR tab. The Medical History card at the top shows the client’s form that you set  as default, including when it was last updated and a quick summary of their allergies, active medications, and conditions. If the client hasn’t completed the form yet, you can send it to them from this card.

From here you can request an update, view the form history, update or view the form, print it, or share it securely. 

Step 7: Switch to the EMR/Charts Tab

To review any forms the client has filled out, expand the EMR/Charts section and select the Forms tab.
