Overview
Send paperwork to a patient on demand from their chart, using the Paperwork quick action. Choose the forms, pick a delivery method, add a message, and send — without waiting for a scheduled reminder.
Before you begin
- Access to the patient's Patient Info page.
- The patient needs usable contact information (mobile number for SMS, email for email).
Steps
- Open the patient's chart and go to the Patient Info page.
- In the Forms area, click Send Form. This opens the Assign and Send Paperwork window.
- Under Which forms would you like to assign?, select the form or forms you want to send.
- Under How would you like to send the forms?, choose at least one delivery method — SMS or Email.
- In What message would you like to send?, either type a custom message or click the message template icon to insert a saved broadcasting template.
- Click Assign and Send.
Assign without sending
To add the form to the patient without sending it yet, click Assign instead of Assign and Send.
Troubleshooting
- If you can't click Assign and Send, then make sure you've selected at least one form and at least one delivery method — both are required.
- If the form won't send through a channel, then the patient may not have usable contact information for that method.
