Module 4.1 – Creating Forms
1. To create a form, you’ll navigate from Home > My Forms. From there, you can create questionnaires and consent forms. In a questionnaire, you can insert demographic, insurance questions, and blank questions.
These are the types of questions that can be added into a questionnaire:
- Demographics, primary, and secondary insurance questions: These basic demographic and insurance questions will automatically populate into the patient’s chart.

- Blank questions: These questions are totally customizable.
- Section title/note: A section header used and note used to separate sections.
- Open answer: Pose an open-ended question and allow your patient to elaborate.
- Mixed controls: Create multiple types of questions in a clean format.

- Smart editor: Insert text, HTML codes, bulleted lists, images, videos, table, and links.
- Body map/drawing: Use a stock body map provided from IntakeQ or upload your own image. Depending on the image, your patient will be able to draw on the image or select individual body parts. In addition to using drawings to denote location on the body, you can also create a legend to signify different ailments, quality of pain.

- E-signature: Use this feature to have your patients sign their intake forms. You can also add 2 e-signature boxes for situations, such as divorced parents with dual custody. Alternatively, you can use the e-signature (by marking it as for “office use only”) to have a practitioner countersign form.
