New Patient Onboarding

Digitize your entire new patient onboarding process

New patient onboarding is the most critical workflow in any healthcare practice. First impressions matter, and a slow, paper-heavy registration process frustrates patients before they even see a provider. Formisoft transforms this experience with online booking, automatic intake form delivery, and a seamless digital journey from first contact to first visit.

Get started Talk to sales

When a new patient books an appointment or is added to your schedule, they automatically receive a secure link to complete their intake forms. Smart conditional logic ensures patients only see questions relevant to their visit type and medical history. Automated reminders ensure forms are completed before arrival. As forms are submitted, data flows into patient records automatically, with no manual data entry, no scanning, and no lost paperwork.

The platform supports multi-step intake sequences where patients progress through demographics, medical history, insurance details, and consent forms in a guided flow. Copays can be collected before the visit through integrated Stripe payments. Appointment reminders reduce no-shows for that critical first visit. After the visit, review requests help capture the patient's first impression while it is fresh. Practices using Formisoft for new patient onboarding report saving 15 to 20 minutes per patient while dramatically reducing registration errors.
