Digital Questionnaires as the Standard of a Modern Dental Practice
More and more modern dental and specialist practices are introducing digitalization of key administrative procedures, relieving staff workload and improving the patient experience. One of the effective steps on this path is the implementation of digital questionnaires for patients, which the Flerp Dent system enables in a fully automated manner – from sending, filling out, and signing, to integration into the patient’s medical record.
A comprehensive solution that saves time and reduces administration
As part of the Flerp Dent software solution, designed for private practices and clinics, the questionnaire management module is built to enable:
-
Sending questionnaires via SMS or email – the patient can complete the questionnaire before their first appointment;
-
Mobile signing via mobile phone – the patient can complete and sign the questionnaire without certificates;
-
Integration with the patient database, enabling automatic data entry (e.g. allergies, illnesses, specifics) directly into the medical record, based on what the patient filled out in the questionnaire;
-
Recording consents for marketing and notifications, which simplifies legal compliance and future marketing activities;
-
Automatic questionnaire status check when scheduling an appointment – if the questionnaire already exists, the completion date is visible; if it is outdated or missing, it can be resent with a single click.
Full Content Customization and Multilingual Support
Within the system, each practice can create its own questionnaire content – define custom questions, optional or mandatory answers, and tailor declarations according to the specifics of your activity. Multilingual questionnaires are also supported, enabling safe and clear communication with speakers of foreign languages.
Key Benefits for the Practice

-
No more manual data entry into the medical record
-
Better legal and formal traceability of consent collection
-
Reduced workload for staff, allowing focus on professional tasks
-
Higher patient satisfaction thanks to digital accessibility and clear procedures
Some Additional Statistics:
Relevant statistics on the use of digital questionnaires in healthcare:
- Up to 70% time savings on administrative procedures
According to a report by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), the introduction of digital questionnaires in clinics reduces administrative procedures by 30–70%, especially during a patient’s first visit. - Patients want digital solutions
According to the Accenture Digital Health Technology Survey (2021), 66% of patients expect healthcare providers to offer the option of filling out forms remotely – even before arriving at the clinic. Among those under 35 years of age, this number reaches 80%. - Up to 90% reduction in data entry errors
The use of structured digital questionnaires (compared to paper forms) reduces data entry errors by up to 90% (HIMSS Analytics, 2020), mainly due to eliminating manual transcription and illegible handwriting. - Greater legal compliance and audit traceability
Digital forms with electronic signatures significantly improve legal and formal compliance (e.g. GDPR, HIPAA), as they allow audit trails and data storage in line with legal regulations (European Journal of Health Law, 2021). - Digitalization as a deciding factor in choosing a clinic
In a study conducted by McKinsey & Company (2022), 41% of patients said they would prefer a healthcare provider that offers digital data entry and remote registration over one that does not.
This is why more and more private clinics are turning to comprehensive solutions like Flerp Dent, which bring digitalization directly into clinical practice – without the need for additional tools or external systems.
