Entering patient responses

You can open questionnaire forms directly from the Questionnaires module so that your patients can enter their responses electronically in your office. This feature is useful if you have a kiosk, operatory computer, or other computer that patients can use to enter responses, or if patients want to dictate responses to you as you enter them.

Note: If you want patients to enter their own response information on a computer in your office, set up the appropriate passwords to protect the other areas of your software.

To enter patient responses

1.   In the Questionnaires module, select a patient.

The Questionnaires List pane changes to include information specific to the selected patient.

 

2.   Click Edit, and then click Enter New Responses.

The Select Questionnaire Form dialog box appears.

3.   Select the questionnaire form that you want, and then click OK.

The selected form appears.

4.   Enter the response information in the form.

To navigate the pages, click the arrows at the top or bottom of the form.

Note: When patients fill out responses for several forms at once, they only need to fill out their patient information once. The responses in the patient information fields of subsequent forms default to the information that was entered in the previous form.

5.   To save your responses, click Submit.

The form is moved to the Completed list.

Note: The Submit button is disabled until the last page of the form.
