When the Pre-Op Questionnaire has been sent to the patient, the CESoft user can determine when the form was sent, when the user viewed the form and when it was submitted by looking in the "Procedure Details" box on the Invoice page:



6. To view the completed questionnaire - the Provider needs to click on Pre-Op button on the relevant invoice, this will open in a new window on their computer with the completed form.

If the provider wishes to get a copy of the questionnaire once completed by the patient, CESoft users can enable this by following these steps:

Please note that the provider will need to have their own email set in their Settings > General page. For more information, see this link to our article on entering and verifying provider emails in CESoft: https://support.cesoft.com.au/portal/en/kb/articles/emailing-from-ce8

A patient may also print off their Pre-Op questionnaire and submit it via email or keep a copy by scrolling to the bottom of the Pre-Operative Questionnaire and clicking the "Print" button on the bottom of the screen:
