Medical History template
A medical history form that gathers diagnosed conditions, allergies, current medications, surgical history, and family history for the care team to review — with branching that respects patients' time. Answer "No" to allergies or surgeries and the related detail questions disappear; answer "Yes" and the form asks for specifics while they're top of mind.

What’s inside
The questions this template ships with — rename, reorder, or delete any of them in the builder.
When to use this template
- A new-patient packet where history arrives before the first visit, so the provider reviews it rather than transcribes it
- A specialist's office collecting history from referred patients whose records haven't been transferred yet
- A surgical center gathering medication and allergy lists ahead of pre-op assessments
- An annual-physical refresh where patients update last year's answers instead of starting from a blank clipboard
Tips to get more from it
- Two skip rules run this form: the allergy and surgery detail questions only appear after a "Yes," so most patients see seven questions, not nine
- The conditions checklist includes "None of these" and allows Other — keep both, since forced choices on a medical checklist produce unreliable data for the care team
- The medications question asks patients to write "none" rather than leave it blank; that distinction between "no medications" and "skipped the question" matters when staff review the chart
- The template collects information for the care team to review at the visit — the ending says exactly that, and it's a framing worth keeping in any edits
Questions people ask
Can patients complete a medical history form online before their visit?
Yes. Send the link ahead of the appointment and the completed history arrives in your responses dashboard, where staff can review it before the patient is in the room.
What if a patient doesn't know all their medication dosages?
The form asks for dosages "where you know them," and the welcome text tells patients they can review answers together with the care team at the visit — it collects best-effort information, not a final record.
Can I add or remove conditions from the checklist?
Yes, every option list is editable. Practices commonly tailor the conditions and family-history checklists to their specialty in the field editor.
