The fastest way to replace paper dental intake forms is to send the health history form online before the visit, so patients fill it out on their phone instead of on a clipboard at the front desk. ProDent's Fast-in does exactly that, and the answers land in the digital patient record before the patient walks in.
Running a dental clinic isn't always simple, whether you're in a big city or a small town. Handwritten paper forms, a crowded front desk and late starts are common everywhere. These obstacles hurt clinic management and also the patient experience.
To fix these bottlenecks, ProDent developed Fast-in: a digital intake solution fully integrated with the system that modernizes patient check-in and speeds things up for the whole team.
Why it's time to retire the clipboard
In the traditional model, the patient arrives and only then gets a clipboard with the health history form to fill out. It may seem harmless, but it causes daily headaches:
- Time lost at the front desk, creating lines and delays;
- Incomplete information or illegible handwriting;
- Physical documents that are hard to organize and file;
- A late start to the appointment, because the dentist has to wait for the information.
Unfortunately, this limits productivity and makes patient care less efficient, with a direct impact on revenue.
How Fast-in replaces paper forms in practice
With Fast-in, that whole manual flow becomes a simple, efficient digital process. The clinic sends the intake form online straight to the patient before the day of the appointment, through the WhatsApp appointment confirmation.
The patient can fill in everything calmly, from home or work, using just their phone. When they arrive, their information is already in the digital patient record: complete, legible and fully integrated with your dental clinic management software.
