Completing Digital Forms in PatientNow Essentials

Client Experience: Completing Forms from a Personal Device

1. Receiving and Accessing the Form Link

  • Clients receive a secure link to complete their forms.

  • Forms can be filled out on any device — phone, tablet, or computer.

  • When the client selects the link, they are taken to the form homepage.

  • From here, they can select “Review and Complete” to begin.

  • If they exit before starting, the same link can be reused later.

⚠️ Important: Form links expire after 72 hours if unopened. Once a client begins filling out the form, 15 minutes of inactivity will automatically log them out. The link will then expire, and a new one must be sent.

2. Form Layout and Sections

Each form may include several sections that mirror the EMR fields in PatientNow, such as:

  • Demographics

  • Medical History

  • Insurance Information

3. Prepopulated Data

  • Existing client data (e.g., name, date of birth, contact info) is auto-filled.

  • Clients can review and edit this data if needed.

  • Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*); optional fields are not.

4. Medical History Section

  • Contains optional fields (no asterisks) to accommodate clients without medical conditions.

  • Pre-existing medical history entries will populate automatically.

  • Clients can:

    • Edit or delete existing conditions.

    • Add new chronic conditions, allergies, medications, or surgeries.

  • Dropdown menus are configured under “Medical Options” in PatientNow.

  • Clients can either select from the dropdown list or add new items manually.

5. Insurance Information Section

  • Prepopulated if insurance is already on file.

  • Clients can remove insurance information if they are self-pay or unable to provide details.

  • Required insurance fields are marked with a red asterisk (*).

  • Clients can type in their plan name, which will populate from available options.

  • Additional policies can be added as needed.

6. Signature and Submission

  • At the end of the form, clients will see a confirmation statement and a signature box.

  • Once the form is signed and submitted, it is automatically sent back to the practice.

  • The practice can then review any edits before updating the client record.


In-Office Workflow: Completing Forms via the RXPhoto App

1. Setup

  • Download the RXPhoto app on an iPhone or iPad (most practices use an iPad).

  • Open the app and search for the client using the search bar.

2. Starting the Form

You can start a new form in one of two ways:

  • Option 1: Hold down on the client’s name and drag left → Select Create.

3. Selecting Forms

4. Using Client Kiosk Mode

  • Choose Client Kiosk mode to lock the app and ensure privacy.

    • This prevents clients from navigating to other client records.

  • Clients complete the form just like they would from home:

    • Review prefilled information.

    • Add new details.

    • Edit existing entries.

5. Submitting the Form

  • After completing the form, clients select Submit.

  • A confirmation pop-up appears:

  • Cancel → return to form.

  • Proceed → submit and send to staff review.

  • Clients will then see a message confirming that forms have been submitted.

6. Post-Submission Options

  • Clients may visit the Consultation Center, a secure area where educational content and before-and-after photos can be displayed.

  • When ready, they can log out to end kiosk mode.

The practice can then log back into RXPhoto with full access.
