eForms

[jordansparks]

We are aggressively building eForms. This brand new framework will completely replace mobile sheets and webforms. It will be used for patient forms, insurance info, medical history, and consent forms. Normal sheets could still be used, and it will not otherwise replace sheets in general because sheets are used for many other things besides those four. We considered further adapting mobile sheets, but there was just too much historical baggage. The only way to make it really powerful is to start from scratch. The good news is that we know exactly what we want to build because we can take the very best of mobile sheets and the very best ideas from other form products. eForms will be available on eClipboard, on the web, and directly from within Open Dental on desktop. As usual, we don't do vaporware, so no promises at all on when we will finish or even if we will finish. But I'm spending most of my personal time on this feature now, and we have a very good team of engineers implementing it. I can't think of anything that would stop us other than if we have to shift to something else even more important.

Will you be able to implement a feature to show or hide questions based on a parameter? E.g. We see a child under age 3. We need to ask about pacifier, bottle/nursing habits, etc. We don't need to ask those things for a teenager in our practice. We also have certain questions (50+?) we have to ask for patient's with medicaid insurance that we don't have to ask for private insurance.

I hope you implement all of the features of Flex. We use them and love their forms and they allow us to do both of those things listed above.

You can see an example of them at StorybookSmiles.com. Just scroll to the bottom and click New Patient Forms English.

Their health history is amazing. It's practically a review of systems. Any heart problems? If you select no then it goes to the next system, but if you select yes it pops open with a list of the most common heart problems to select from. Comprehensive and easy to get through quickly which is a rare thing.
