Features
Prospective Patient Forms: customizable, embeddable forms that prospective patients can fill out online to request services at your practice. Upon submission, the inquiry flows directly into your EHR.
See Prospective Patient Management Setup and Configuration article for more information.
Persons & Institutions | Prospective Patients: a database to easily manage all requests for services and track outreach to prospective patients.
See Persons & Institutions | Prospective Patients article for more details.
Provider Match: An algorithm matching new patients with providers based on the patient’s treatment goals and preferences and the providers’ expertise, insurance contracts, and treatment profile.
Waitlist: a queue for managing patients and prospective patients who are waiting for an appointment to become available. It allows you to add both Patients and Prospective Patients to a waitlist when they are waiting for an appointment. Searching from the waitlist can also inform scheduling.
See the Waitlist article to help with use of this feature.
Workflow
- Using a URL shared on your website or online profiles, prospective patients fill out their request for services online.
