Download and Link Online Forms

Use the Online Forms window to download online forms your patients have submitted, and link the forms to new or existing patient records. You also use this window to merge documents associated with linked forms.

Click to OpenOpen Online Forms Window

Select Add-In from the ViewPoint shortcut menu, and choose the Online Forms option. (You can press Alt+D on your keyboard to open the Add-In menu options.)

Click to OpenLink Forms to Patient Folders

Click to OpenDownloaded Forms List- When you open Online Forms, any forms that were submitted since the last time you opened the window are downloaded, and appear in the Downloaded Forms list. In addition, you can click Download at any time to check for forms that were submitted while the window has been open.

If a patient folder was assigned when the form was first completed, or when a form is updated, those results are automatically linked with the patient, and the form does not appear in this list.

Click to OpenForm Responses - Click View to review the questions and responses for the selected unlinked online form. You can use the Next and Previous buttons to view the results of additional unlinked forms.

Click to OpenLink the Form to a Patient - You can either link the online form to an existing patient folder, or create a new patient folder with the form results as the basis of the record.

Click to OpenUnlink a Form

If you accidentally link an online form to the wrong patient folder, you can use Data Tools to either move that data to another patient, or delete the data completely. See "Move or Delete Online Form Data" for details.

These tools can alter and / or destroy data: In most cases, you should only execute these data tools at the direction of an Ortho2 representative.

Click to OpenDelete an Unlinked Form

Click to OpenLetter Queue

Use the Letter Queue function of your Online Forms feature to generate mail merge documents that have been linked to processed online forms. This feature is especially useful for capturing certain forms into the patient's correspondence history, and provides a way to print completed health history forms for your patients to sign.  See "Online Form Merge Documents" for details.

Click to OpenUpdate the Patient Folder

When you link an online form to a patient, the ViewPoint patient folder is not automatically updated. You can, however, use the Compare Bio option on the Form Data option on the patient's Findings tab to view data differences between an online form and the patient folder, and choose to update the patient folder as appropriate. See "Compare Data and Update Patient Folder" for details.
