ORT Questionnaires

While adding this questionnaire as a part of appointment booking or through Kiosk, an ORT questionnaire gets displayed based on the Patient gender. The Patient can fill out the ORT questionnaire on the Kiosk directly.

Also, you can share the ORT questionnaire with the Patient alongside other Questionnaires/Consent Forms while creating an appointment. The Patients can fill it out from their respective PHR accounts. You can view the filled questionnaire in the Patient > Patient Details > Questionnaires section.

Once the Patient fills in the questionnaire, Providers can view the Opioid Risk Score in the Chart Note and Medications sections while adding prescriptions.
