Guide patients question by question and boost completion by up to 60%
Forms That Feel Like a Conversation
Long intake forms on small screens overwhelm patients. They abandon mid-form or skip sections. Conversational forms present one question at a time—like a friendly chat, not a government document. Patients complete forms 40-60% more often, and your team gets complete data instead of half-filled clipboards.
Stop the email ping-pong for multi-person review
Approval Workflows That Actually Flow
Prior authorizations and referrals usually pass through front desk → nurse → physician → billing. Paper forms are slow and error-prone. With PlatoForms workflows, each person sees only their section—nurses handle intake, physicians sign clinical fields, billing handles payments. Automatic notifications and reminders keep the process moving, everyone works in the same secure form, no ‘Who has the latest copy?’ chaos.
Eliminate the ‘missing paperwork’ chase
One Form Fills Multiple Documents—Automatically
New patients need multiple forms: intake questionnaire, HIPAA authorization, financial policy, treatment consent. With PlatoForms Master Forms, they fill out one screen. PlatoForms generates all four completed PDFs instantly, bundled and ready for the chart. No more ‘Which form didn’t they sign?’ No more calling patients back. Your front desk gets a complete package every time.
Conditional logic reduces unnecessary questions
Smart Forms That Adapt to Each Patient
Not every patient needs every question. Conditional logic shows or hides sections based on answers—if a patient says “No” to medications, follow-up dosage fields disappear. Fields are required only when relevant—insurance details required if billing insurance, optional for cash. Responses can even redirect different confirmation pages: urgent symptoms → “Call us immediately,” routine follow-up → “We’ll see you Thursday.” Smarter forms mean less frustration and more complete data.
Sync reminder data with your apps, EHRs, and internal systems
Integrated Tools for Smart Reminder Workflows
Use Zapier, Make, or Pabbly to build custom workflows—send Slack notifications for urgent forms, add responses to Google Sheets, create tasks in your project management system. For direct EHR integration, use our webhook API to push data automatically. Export to CSV, JSON, or PDF anytime for manual import.
Tablets, paper, or home—set limits and save progress effortlessly
Flexible Forms for Every Patient
You stay fully flexible. Give patients tablets in the waiting room—they fill out forms like a clipboard, but the data goes straight into your system. Need paper? Print PDFs. Want patients to start at home and finish in-office? Enable save-for-later. For events like vaccination clinics, set submission limits and automatically redirect to a waitlist when full. PlatoForms works the way your patients do.
Audit-ready documentation—always
Complete Activity Logs for Every Form Interaction
When an auditor asks, “Has Mrs. Johnson’s consent form been received?” you need instant answers. PlatoForms keeps comprehensive activity logs for every interaction—including emails sent, email addresses, and manual submission deletions. Consent forms come with signature certificates documenting exactly when patients signed, along with PDF and other attachments. During HIPAA audits, you can produce full documentation in minutes instead of hours. All logs are encrypted and access-controlled, automatically meeting Security Rule requirements.
FAQ’S
-
What is a HIPAA-compliant online form?

How does PlatoForms keep HIPAA-compliant form data secure?
PlatoForms meets both Privacy Rule and Security Rule requirements automatically. Every form includes AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit, role-based access controls limiting who sees patient data, comprehensive audit trails documenting every access, secure e-signatures with timestamps, and a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) accepting legal responsibility for safeguarding ePHI. You don’t configure these—they’re built into the platform. We also offer two-factor authentication for team accounts and comply with data retention policies for healthcare records. -
What are the benefits of using HIPAA-compliant online forms?

How do I create HIPAA-compliant forms online?

Do HIPAA rules apply only to forms dealing with treatment, or also payment/operations data?
HIPAA rules apply to all protected health information (PHI), not just data about treatment. Any PHI used for payment purposes or general healthcare operations must also meet HIPAA compliance requirements. -
How quickly can we digitize our existing forms with AI?
Most practices publish their first AI-digitized form within 30 minutes. Upload your existing patient intake PDF—PlatoForms’ AI automatically detects and maps all fields including text boxes, checkboxes, signatures, and dates. Simply review the detected fields, adjust labels if needed, and click Publish. For custom forms, describe your requirements in plain language—like ‘Create a pediatric intake form with vaccination history and parental consent’—and our AI form generator builds the structure automatically. No coding, no IT team, no complexity. -
Can we collect accurate phone numbers and addresses from diverse patients?
Yes. PlatoForms includes enhanced phone fields with country flags, dialing codes (+1, +44, +86), and format validation—reducing wrong-number errors. Our country field displays flags for visual clarity. You can enable multi-language support so patients complete forms in Spanish, Chinese, or other languages while your team receives data in English. This reduces intake errors and serves diverse patient populations better.
