Creating and setting up forms

Healee offers a diverse range of forms and questionnaires that enable providers to collect precise patient information at different points of the patient journey.

Note

This topic describes how admins create, configure and manage forms in the Admin Panel area. For details on how providers use forms to gather patient information, see Using forms

Intake forms

To create an intake form:

  1. In the Admin Panel, go to Forms
  2. Click Add form
  3. Enter the form definition, set the form properties
  4. When ready, click Save or Save and close.

The following options are valid for intake forms:

Format (Definition): JSON
All forms must be in a valid json format. If there is an error in the code, the system will not allow the user to save it until it has been fixed

Type (placement):
This property defines the point/stage of the patient journey at which the form will be triggered:

  • After Essentials - the step of the patient registration process where patients enter their name, phone number and other demographic data. This step completes the account creation process.
  • Before Registration - prior to the first step of the account creation process (where the patient enters their email address).
  • Search - refers to the search area showcasing all practitioners in the platform, visible to patients once the registration process has been completed

ID: used as reference to the form, especially important for the creation of rules (see Admin Guide > Rules).

Skip Token: allows the user to skip the form.

Properties:

  • Required - whether the user has to fill it or not.
  • Default - if there are multiple forms to choose from, one can be set as the default one for all patients.

Submission:

  • Overwrites the previous entry - if the user fills in the form more than once, each successive copy will get updated as the newest one and there will be no separate copies
  • Save data as new entry - if the user fills in the form more than once, each iteration will be saved separately to their profile
Note

Once the intake form is set up, admins can add specific provider tags and rules that control the automated matching logic that matches the incoming patient to a filtered set of providers. For further information, see Tags, and Rules.

In-thread forms

To create an In-thread or a Note form:

  1. In the Admin Panel, go to Medical Forms
  2. Click Add form and choose Patient or Specialist, respectively
  3. Enter the form definition, set the form properties
  4. When ready, click Save or Save and close

The following options are valid for In-thread forms:

Format: JSON

Type: for Patient, for Provider

Specialties: The intake forms can be added to a specific practitioner's profile or to a group of practitioners based on their specialty/ies.

Send automatically:

  • On first patient appointment - the trigger is the booking of the initial appointment by a patient or a practitioner on behalf of a patient.
  • After each video/audio appointment - after an audio or video call has been completed in the platform between the patient and practitioner.
  • When patient connected to specialist - upon the creation of the message thread, which might not necessarily be triggered by the booking of an appointment.

Note forms

The provider/note forms, like the patient intake forms, are created in the panel admin area in a JSON format. They can be tied to a specific practitioner or a group of practitioners.

Provider forms are completed and submitted by the practitioner and are stored in the patient's folder in the practitioner's account. The provider forms can be shared with the patient or be kept private to the practitioner only. Depending upon the setup of the entire replica, these might be automatically shared with other practitioners upon connecting with the patient (“shared mode”) or might remain hidden and visible only to the practitioner that created them (“private mode”).

Note

In order to keep a provider form private even in “shared mode”, the following code needs to be entered into the JSON code

"formOptions": {
"privateForm": boolean
}

}

Localization

Only intake forms (/panel-admin/all-forms) can be localized at the moment. Providers are going to see the results in the language the form has been filled in, not in the language that their profile is currently set at.

The following fields can be localized:

  • q
  • description
  • nextBtnLabel
  • placeholder
  • noneOfTheseText
  • choices
  • formOptions.messages

Examples:

// Question (same as other block props except choices)
"q": {
"en": "Your age is",
"bg": "Вашата възраст е"
}

// Choices - for the 2 types (with/without id)
"choices": [
{ "en": "Woman", "bg": "Жена" },
{ "id": "some_id", "text": { "en": "Man", "bg": "Мъж" } }
]

// Form options -> messages
"formOptions": {
"messages": {
"label.button.ok": { en: "Ok", bg: "Напред", ... },
}
}
