Medical history forms

[Lanah]

Can anyone advise me how I can make a medical history form with check boxes that my patients can complete using the surface pro and surface pen please? I bought the surface for this functionality and hope I can get it to do this. Many thanks for your help!

You can make the form in Word and save it as a pdf file, or there are many available to download (just Google or Bing "medical history form") some free, some for a small fee for editable versions.

Once you have the form you want as a pdf file you can use Foxit PDF reader and when the pt is done your staff choses Save As... to save it under the pt's name or ID number.

Many here like Drawboard PDF, and it is easier to use in tablet mode, but I haven't figured out how to Save As so you can name it with pt ID name and keep original as a template.

As far as I recall save as can only be done in drawboard with a keyboard shortcut

Thanks ScottyS,

Do you know of a company that specialises in developing surface pro documents if I decided to get help with these forms?

I'll see how I go myself to begin with and then try and source some assistance if I can't make it work. I'm trying to automate a paper driven process so all help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like an editable PDF is what you want. After the patient fills it out, the fill can be 'flattened' so nobody else can alter it.

Try Xodo PDF editor. Drawboard always frustrated me.

No, I just searched with Bing for medical forms. I am sure there are many companies that make medical forms in editable formats, but you can just use a PDF file as your template, have your pts. ink them in a PDF reader that supports inking and then Save As.
