Collecting accurate health history forms is one of the most important steps in patient care, but for many dental practices, it’s also one of the most frustrating. Paper forms get lost, handwriting is challenging to read, and front office staff waste hours manually entering information into Open Dental.
With Flex Dental Solutions, health history forms are no longer a burden; they’re an opportunity to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and elevate the patient experience.
Why Health History Forms Are So Important
Health history forms are more than just paperwork. They give providers the essential background they need to:
- Understand a patient’s medical conditions and medications.
- Identify potential treatment risks.
- Deliver safe, personalized care.
But when forms are rushed in the waiting room or inaccurately transferred into Open Dental, important details can be missed. That creates risk for both the patient and the practice.
Simplify Health History Forms
Flex transforms health history collection into a seamless, digital experience that integrates directly with Open Dental.
- Digital & Paperless – Patients can complete forms at home, on their phone, tablet, or computer, no clipboards required.
- Direct Open Dental Integration – Forms sync automatically with Open Dental, eliminating manual entry and reducing data errors.
- Always Current – Flex prompts patients when it’s time to update their health history, keeping records accurate without extra staff effort.
- Improved Accuracy – Patients complete forms at their own pace, resulting in clearer and more thorough information.
- Efficient & Organized – With no scanning, filing, or data retyping, your front office can focus on patient relationships instead of paperwork.
