Use your browsers Send Link to Device to easily send the form to your linked iPad etc if you want patients to fill out the form. You will need to be signed into the same browser account on your computer and iPad. Your IT Support provider can provide assistance on how to achieve this.

When a patient has filled in their form, it is sent to your Inbox > Patient Forms to be reviewed.

In Elixir Patient Forms have three different statuses:

  • Unfilled (Red) - The patient is yet to fill in and submit the form to the clinic.
  • Filled (Yellow) - The form has been submitted and is in the Inbox, ready to be reviewed.
  • Reviewed (Green) - The form has been saved from the Inbox to the patient's file.
