Choose from pre-built healthcare templates or simply describe what you need in plain language. Our AI form generator understands requests like ‘Create a telehealth consent form with e-signature—then builds the complete structure automatically. Customize, preview, and publish in minutes.

Keep every detail intact while enabling digital completion

Preserve Your Exact PDF Layout—Make It Fillable Online

Some healthcare documents cannot be redesigned. State-mandated forms, legally reviewed consent documents, and branded intake forms require exact formatting.

PlatoForms creates fillable PDF forms online without altering your original layout. AI identifies form fields and overlays interactive areas directly onto your PDF—preserving fonts, spacing, logos, and legal language pixel-for-pixel. Patients complete forms in their browser, and you receive finished PDFs that match your approved templates exactly. Critical when auditors or regulatory bodies require specific document formats.

Convert Patient Forms to Mobile-Optimized Web Forms

Patients increasingly expect to complete intake forms on their phones before appointments. PlatoForms converts your existing patient intake PDFs into mobile-optimized web forms that adapt seamlessly to any device—smartphones, tablets, or desktops. AI automatically detects every field—medical history checkboxes, insurance information, consent signatures—and transforms them into a clean, responsive layout that adjusts to any screen size.

Choose between Classic view (all questions visible at once) or Conversational mode (one question at a time, like a chat) to match how patients prefer to fill out forms. Responsive web forms reduce incomplete submissions, eliminate illegible handwriting, and deliver patient data directly into your system—no printing, no scanning, no manual data entry.

Ensuring data security and patient privacy

Simplified HIPAA Compliance

With PlatoForms’ robust platform, achieving HIPAA compliance is effortless. From automatically encrypting form data to securing electronic signatures, your patients’ health information remains confidential and safeguarded, ensuring compliance with ease.

Easy Appointment Booking

With our online forms, patients can easily schedule appointments, update their medical history, or register as new patients from anywhere, on any device—automating your new patient paperwork to save time and reduce administrative costs. Minimize no-shows by sending appointment forms that double as confirmations.

Set up automatic reminder emails at 1 day, 3 days to trigger reminders whenever appointments are booked. When patients complete intake forms before arriving, they’re 30% more likely to show up, keeping your schedule full and your practice running smoothly.
Stop the email ping-pong for multi-person review

Approval Workflows That Actually Flow

Prior authorizations and referrals usually pass through front desk → nurse → physician → billing. Paper forms are slow and error-prone.
With PlatoForms workflows, each person sees only their section—nurses handle intake, physicians sign clinical fields, billing handles payments. Automatic notifications and reminders keep the process moving, everyone works in the same secure form, no ‘Who has the latest copy?’ chaos.

Eliminate the ‘missing paperwork’ chase

One Form Fills Multiple Documents—Automatically

New patients need multiple forms: intake questionnaire, HIPAA authorization, financial policy, treatment consent.
With PlatoForms Master Forms, they fill out one screen. PlatoForms generates all four completed PDFs instantly, bundled and ready for the chart. No more ‘Which form didn’t they sign?’ No more calling patients back. Your front desk gets a complete package every time.
Send follow-up forms with known patient data already filled in

Prefill Patient Forms to Save Time and Reduce Errors

For returning patients, asking for the same information repeatedly is inefficient and frustrating. With PlatoForms’ prefill invitations, you can send forms with patient data already populated.

Before sending a follow-up questionnaire or a new consent form, pre-fill it with information from your records, such as the patient’s name, date of birth, and insurance ID. The patient simply reviews the existing data, completes the new fields, and signs. You can even lock critical information to prevent accidental edits.

This streamlines the intake process for annual check-ups, post-procedure follow-ups, and multi-visit treatment plans. It improves data accuracy, reduces form abandonment, and shows patients you value their time.

Conditional logic reduces unnecessary questions

Smart Forms That Adapt to Each Patient

Not every patient needs every question.
Conditional logic shows or hides sections based on answers—if a patient says “No” to medications, follow-up dosage fields disappear. Fields are required only when relevant—insurance details required if billing insurance, optional for cash.
Responses can even redirect different confirmation pages: urgent symptoms → “Call us immediately,” routine follow-up → “We’ll see you Thursday.” Smarter forms mean less frustration and more complete data.
Seamless integrations, easy Payments, and secure Data Storage

Secure Data Storage & Payment Integrations

PlatoForms integrates with your existing tools. Automatically save completed forms to cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box) organized by patient name and date.

Embed online payment forms directly into your website and integrate with payment processors like Stripe, enabling patients to pay bills conveniently and securely.

Tablets, paper, or home—set limits and save progress effortlessly

Flexible Forms for Every Patient

You stay fully flexible. Give patients tablets in the waiting room—they fill out forms like a clipboard, but the data goes straight into your system. Need paper? Print PDFs.
Want patients to start at home and finish in-office? Enable save-for-later. For events like vaccination clinics, set submission limits and automatically redirect to a waitlist when full. PlatoForms works the way your patients do.

Complete Activity Logs for Every Form Interaction

When an auditor asks, “Has Mrs. Johnson’s consent form been received?” you need instant answers. PlatoForms keeps comprehensive activity logs for every interaction—including emails sent, email addresses, and manual submission deletions. Consent forms come with signature certificates documenting exactly when patients signed, along with PDF and other attachments.
During HIPAA audits, you can produce full documentation in minutes instead of hours. All logs are encrypted and access-controlled, automatically meeting Security Rule requirements.

How PlatoForms Supports the Healthcare Industry

FAQ’S

  • What is a HIPAA-compliant online form?
    A HIPAA-compliant online form is a secure web form that meets the privacy requirements for handling protected health information as outlined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
  • How does PlatoForms keep HIPAA-compliant form data secure?
    PlatoForms meets both Privacy Rule and Security Rule requirements automatically. Every form includes AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit, role-based access controls limiting who sees patient data, comprehensive audit trails documenting every access, secure e-signatures with timestamps, and a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) accepting legal responsibility for safeguarding ePHI. You don’t configure these—they’re built into the platform. We also offer two-factor authentication for team accounts and comply with data retention policies for healthcare records.
  • What are the benefits of using HIPAA-compliant online forms?
    A HIPAA-compliant online form allows patients to securely provide their protected health information. It streamlines intake while ensuring patient privacy and data security per HIPAA regulations.
  • How do I create HIPAA-compliant forms online?
    PlatoForms makes it easy to create HIPAA-compliant online forms. Just use our simple interface to design and customize your forms while keeping patient data safe. For more help, check out our user guide.
  • Do HIPAA rules apply only to forms dealing with treatment, or also payment/operations data?
    HIPAA rules apply to all protected health information (PHI), not just data about treatment. Any PHI used for payment purposes or general healthcare operations must also meet HIPAA compliance requirements.
  • How quickly can we digitize our existing forms with AI?
    Most practices publish their first AI-digitized form within 30 minutes. Upload your existing patient intake PDF—PlatoForms’ AI automatically detects and maps all fields including text boxes, checkboxes, signatures, and dates. Simply review the detected fields, adjust labels if needed, and click Publish. For custom forms, describe your requirements in plain language—like ‘Create a pediatric intake form with vaccination history and parental consent’—and our AI form generator builds the structure automatically. No coding, no IT team, no complexity.
  • Can we collect accurate phone numbers and addresses from diverse patients?
    Yes. PlatoForms includes enhanced phone fields with country flags, dialing codes (+1, +44, +86), and format validation—reducing wrong-number errors. Our country field displays flags for visual clarity. You can enable multi-language support so patients complete forms in Spanish, Chinese, or other languages while your team receives data in English. This reduces intake errors and serves diverse patient populations better.
