eCW medical history form

Learn how to automatically sync patients’ allergies, conditions and medications to the patient chart in eCW with the medical history form.

Updated today

eCW customers using NexHealth forms have access to the integrated medical history form, which automatically syncs patients’ allergies, conditions, and medications to the patient health chart in eCW.

How it works

  1. The NexHealth Medical History Form is already included in your account. It features search-and-select free-text questions for patients’ Allergies, Conditions, and Medications.

  2. After you send the Medical History Form, the patient types in their corresponding health history, which automatically pulls matching options from eCW.

  3. The patient’s Allergies, Conditions, and Medications are automatically synced to the Progress Note field in the patient file in eCW. The PDF forms are synced to Patient Docs.

Add the Medical History form to your account

To add the Medical History Form to your account:

  1. Navigate to the Forms tab and click on Manage forms.

  2. Use the search bar at the top or scroll down the page to locate the Medical History Form and ensure it is active in your account.

  3. If it is not, click on Build, then select Medical History form from the template drop-down.

  4. To add the Medical History Form to a packet, switch to the Packets tab.

  5. Click on Edit to add the form to any of your packets.

Medical History Form FAQ

Q: Will any new locations that I add also have the Medical History Form?

A: The medical history form is automatically generated when the Synchronizer is installed.

Q: What if my patient doesn’t have a future appointment and therefore a Progress Note?

A: The Medical History Form will sync to Patient Docs like normal, but there will be no area for Allergies, Conditions or Medications to write to, so they will not automatically appear if there is no Progress Note available.

Q: Can I add more questions to the Medical History Form?

A: Absolutely! Our Support team is happy to help augment the form, but please keep in mind that additional questions will not sync to the health chart like Allergies, Conditions, and Medications do.

Q: Can I see it in action?
