Front desk and scheduling
Health history form
Also called medical history, patient intake form
A form where patients list their health conditions, medicines, allergies and dental history.
A health history form collects important information such as medical conditions, medicines, allergies, past surgeries and dental concerns. The dentist uses it to treat safely, since conditions and medicines can affect treatment. Patients should update it at least once a year and whenever something changes. The front desk should make sure each form is complete, signed and shown to the clinical team.
Example at the front desk
She started a new blood thinner, so I updated her health history before today's extraction.
