What are Intake Forms?
Intake forms serve the purpose of gathering the patient's information that is important and necessary for you to begin treating them. These intake forms could be specific to your practice, or they can also be generally used by more than one type of practitioner. You should ideally send these forms at the beginning of your relationship with the client, preferably as soon as they decide to book an appointment with you, however, Carepatron allows you to send these forms at any point of your relationship's timeline.

Sending intake for the first time
Once you have created a client, you can send them an intake. When sending an intake form, ensure they are fillable so your client can fill out the form. You can create a fillable form by adding in fillable fields. Learn more about fillable fields here. To do this:
Navigate to the Client page
Go into the Client Record
Select the more action button on the upper right corner
Select sent intake
Select a template in your intake library
Click send
You can also send them from within the client list by selecting the intake icon on the toolbar that appears at the far right when hovering over a client's profile.
Client process when they receive the document
Once you send the intake form, your client will receive the fillable form in their email. Here are the steps they will go through.
Click on the link provided in the email. This will take your patient to an invitation page on Carepatron
Fill out each step which includes your details, health details, forms and agreements, payment method and password.
At forms and agreements, your client can fill out the intake forms you have sent to them. You can also send viewable documents that do not require to be sent out e.g. terms and conditions, compliance etc.
If you want your clients to respond to the form, make sure it's fillable by adding fillable fields.
Once your client has finished these steps they will now be signed up to your platform and will have submitted the intake forms.
