WebForms - the Process
WebForms allow a Practice to manage the collection and sending of confidential client information through the use of online questionnaires. It is a module of Nimbus which allows a practice to setup emails that can recur on a regular basis and that can send reminder emails to clients when they have not yet provided their information. Embedded within the email sent is an online questionnaire, which the client is asked to complete. The practice can utilise one of over 40 different WebForm templates, providing the following:
Email to the client
Follow-up email for reminders
WebForm questionnaire
Scheduling detail
These templates allow a Practice to start utilising WebForm immediately.
