WHAT IT DOES

Paper forms slow down every patient before they even see you.

Every clipboard handed to a patient is a bottleneck. Handwriting has to be deciphered, irrelevant questions frustrate patients, and staff still have to retype everything into Open Dental by hand. It is slow for patients and slower for your team. Flex replaces that process with smart forms that adjust in real time based on a patient's age, gender, insurance status, health conditions, and medications, so patients only ever see questions that actually apply to them.

New patients can complete forms by email, text, or in-office tablet, and returning patients get pre-filled medical histories they simply confirm or update. Everything flows directly into Open Dental with zero manual entry, which means shorter waits, fewer errors, and a front desk that is not buried in paperwork before the first patient even sits down.

HOW IT WORKS

Flex gets the right form to the right patient automatically.

  1. Flex sends the form when the appointment is booked

    New patients receive their intake forms by email as soon as an appointment is scheduled, or can complete them by text or on an in-office tablet.

  2. The form adapts as the patient answers

    Questions adjust in real time based on age, gender, insurance status, health conditions, and medications, so patients only see what is relevant to them.

  3. Responses sync straight into Open Dental

    Completed forms and updated medical histories flow into the patient’s chart automatically, with no manual data entry required.

WHAT’S INSIDE PATIENT FORMS

Everything you need to make paper intake obsolete.

Adaptive questioning

Forms change in real time based on patient responses so no one wades through irrelevant questions.

Pre-filled medical histories

Returning patients confirm and update existing information instead of starting from scratch.

Multi-channel delivery

Patients can complete forms by email, text, or in-office tablet, whichever is easiest for them.
