Walk-In Registration

QR code to chart-ready in under 5 minutes

Walk-in registration replaces the clipboard-and-pen experience with a modern, phone-based flow. Display a QR code in your waiting room that links to your intake form. Patients scan it, fill out demographics, upload insurance card photos, sign consent forms, and submit, all from their own device. Formisoft creates their patient record automatically so your front desk can focus on care, not data entry.
