Key concepts & definitions
The vocabulary of digitizing paperwork. Skim before you go deeper.
- Intake packet
- The bundle of forms a new patient, client, or student completes at the start. Usually the highest-value paperwork to move online, because it is filled out by outsiders on their own devices.
- Field form
- A form completed away from a desk: inspections, site checklists, work orders. Needs to work one-handed on a phone, often with photos attached.
- Compliance form
- A form whose wording and structure are fixed by regulation or policy. Converting the existing approved document, rather than rebuilding from scratch, keeps the approved language intact.

Frequently asked questions about industries
Can regulated industries use online forms?
Yes, and most already do. The key is preserving the approved wording and structure of the original document, which is why converting the existing form beats rebuilding it from memory. Review the converted form against the original before publishing, exactly as you would review a reprint.
How do patients or clients without email fill out online forms?
A form that lives at a link can be opened from a QR code on paper, a text message, or a kiosk tablet in the lobby. Teams typically keep a few paper copies for the rare person who needs one, and still eliminate 95% of the re-typing.
What forms should a small practice or firm convert first?
The new-client or new-patient intake packet. It is high volume, filled out by people outside your organization, and painful on paper. After that: consent forms, update-your-information forms, and anything currently attached to emails as a PDF.
