Medical Survey: Build HIPAA-Friendly Patient Surveys
Digital medical forms make life easier for patients and staff. Discover how to create effective and secure medical forms with Typeform.
Nearly every medical appointment is associated with a medical form. Healthcare providers know, getting complete forms is never easy. Perhaps a patient didn’t arrive early enough to complete the necessary paperwork, or they don’t have the requested information on hand. It’s a headache for administrators, providers, and patients alike.
Fortunately, there’s a solution: online medical form builders. By providing patients with online medical forms, you can collect necessary medical and insurance information earlier. This reduces patient frustration and eliminates human error.
Read on to learn how Typeform can help you build medical forms that patients can complete anywhere.
What are medical forms?
Medical forms are used by healthcare providers like doctors, therapists, psychiatrists, and physical therapists. They collect vital patient information, like medical history, insurance details, and other information. The information gathered informs treatment, billing, and other aspects of healthcare administration. Medical forms enable healthcare providers to prescribe the best solutions and provide the best service possible.
Common types of medical forms
Whatever medical information you need to collect, Typeform has a pre-built template to get you started:
Patient onboarding forms
There’s a lot of necessary information associated with onboarding a new patient to your practice. From personal information to healthcare history and insurance information, these medical forms can make your life easier:
- Patient registration form: Collect contact info, insurance details, and other necessary information in a single form.
- Health questionnaire: Get a complete medical history and learn about patients’ health habits.
- Psychiatric evaluation form: Assess a patient’s psychiatric status and history, including family psychiatric history and treatment history.
Ongoing treatment forms
Regular updates ensure your patients’ treatment is on track. They’re also a good opportunity to check for changes to health information. Use these free medical form templates for existing patients in your practice:
- Health screening form: Determine whether your patients may have Covid-19 or other highly contagious diseases before they expose your office.
- Contact tracing form: Protect public health and limit the spread of highly communicable diseases with a contact tracing form.
- Doctor appointment form: No one likes to sit on hold. Make it easy to book a follow-up appointment with an online doctor appointment form.
- Patient feedback form: Feedback surveys are an easy way to improve your services and allow patients to get the best care possible.
Medical office administration form
Forms aren’t only useful in dealing with patients. Use these forms to help your workplace administration tasks run more smoothly:
- Employee registration form: Gather employee information like contact details and emergency phone numbers in one place.
- Healthcare employee satisfaction survey form: Get a temperature check on your employees’ satisfaction.

Greater accuracy
Paper forms introduce unnecessary risk. Illegible handwriting, unanswered questions, and manual data entry increase the chances of medical errors and cost your staff valuable time correcting them.
By switching to online medical forms, your practice can improve data accuracy. Typeform guides patients through each question one at a time. Then, it ensures required fields are completed before submitting. With additional services like Single Sign-On (SSO), patients can autofill information from existing databases for even greater accuracy. The result is more accurate patient data.
Customizable design
Trust plays a major role in patients' comfort levels when sharing personal health information. Reassure them that they’re in the right place with consistent branding. With Typeform, you can customize all medical forms to match your branding, including logo, brand colors, and media. Create seamless experience across all your assets to reinforce trust and familiarity.
Branching logic
Health screening questionnaires and other medical forms can get lengthy. Not only is it important to screen for a range of medical issues, but each question leads to more questions. When were you diagnosed? Are you taking medication to treat it? A single form with every follow-up question for every common health concern can get prohibitively long.
That’s where logic comes in. With logic, patients’ medical forms change based on their answers. If a patient indicates that they have a certain condition, they’ll be presented with follow-up questions. If they don’t, they won’t. Include logic in your medical forms to boost form completion rate.
