Cost-Effective Form Automation: Ditch the Clipboards, Not Your Budget
Is your front desk staff buried under a mountain of paper forms? Manual data entry isn't just slow—it's a major source of costly errors. Every typo can lead to rejected insurance claims, billing headaches, and inaccurate patient records. This administrative overhead pulls your team away from what truly matters: providing excellent patient care.
This playbook guides you through building a powerful, low-cost form automation system. By connecting a secure, HIPAA-compliant online form builder (Jotform) to your Practice Management System using an integration platform (Zapier), you can completely digitize your patient intake. New patient information is captured online and automatically entered into your system, error-free. It's the perfect solution for tech-savvy practices willing to invest a little setup time to save significant money and reclaim hours of administrative work.

Jotform-AdvancedMD Patient Creation via Zapier
This integration works by using a new Jotform submission as a trigger. When a prospective patient fills out and submits a designated patient intake form on Jotform, it activates a Zap in Zapier. Zapier then takes the submitted data (e.g., patient name, date of birth, contact information, insurance details) and securely sends it to the AdvancedMD API. Using this data, Zapier executes an 'Create Patient' action, which automatically generates a new, complete patient profile within the AdvancedMD system. This creates a seamless data flow from the initial point of contact to the core patient management system.
