Adding Consent Forms to Your Facility

Adding Consent Forms to Your Facility

When a new patient books an appointment with your practice, they need to complete the patient intake paperwork and sign the consent forms. zHealth provides you with three consent forms in the system.
Note 1: Automated sending of intake and consent forms are available with the Advanced Package. Customers with the Basic Package will be able to have their patients take the intake and consent forms when they arrive at the office. Please contact your Customer Success Specialist if you want to upgrade your Advance Package.
Note 2: It is important to avoid using special characters in file names when uploading them. This may disrupt our software's ability to read the file, potentially causing process interruptions.

c. Click on ‘Yes’ if you want to make it mandatory for patients to sign the consent form, otherwise click ‘No’.

d. From the drop-down, select Patient Type. You can select ‘All’ or a particular patient type from the drop-down list.

Then, lick ‘Save’ to save the new consent form.

b. Use the view, edit, delete, and reorder options to view, edit, delete, and rearrange the new consent form anytime.



FAQs

Q: How come I can't open or view the consent forms in Google Chrome
A: It has been observed that certain laptop models (e.g. Samsung devices) could not open "Consent Forms" in the PDF format. To view the PDF files of the Consent Forms, make sure you have a PDF Viewer in Chrome installed on your system. In case the Chrome PDF Viewer is already installed on your system, try reinstalling it to troubleshoot any issues. If the issue persists, you can always reach out to support for assistance.
