Online Patient Intake for Medical Cannabis Evaluations
Online intake lets medical cannabis patients register, answer their health questionnaire, list medications and allergies, and upload ID and records from their phone before the visit. Staff then review each item, accept or reject documents, and schedule the evaluation once the chart is ready. The result is shorter visits and fewer no-show reschedules for missing paperwork.
- Let patients start the same day they find you.
- Collect history and documents before the visit.
- Flag patient-submitted data so staff review it.
- Make phone-camera uploads easy.
What to collect
- Contact details and date of birth
- Health questionnaire as defined by your providers
- Current medications and allergies
- Government ID and any residency proof your program requires
- Relevant medical records
- Consent to be contacted and to the clinic's privacy notice
Make uploads painless
Most patients will photograph documents with a phone. Accept common image formats and PDFs, check file contents rather than file names, and store files privately.
Review before you schedule
Mark patient-submitted information clearly. Staff should review documents, accept or request a new upload, and confirm the questionnaire is complete before the provider visit.
Frequently asked questions
Should patients create a password?
One-time email codes avoid forgotten passwords and are simpler for occasional users like annual renewal patients.
