# Patient Forms Guide - Managing forms responses
## Overview
### What happens after forms are completed?
Completed forms will automatically appear in the Outstanding Items section of the patient’s chart. Each form will show up as an individual ‘Report’ that can be reviewed and signed off, along with the date and time it was completed.
By default, only Provider Level Users can sign off on forms responses. Admin Level Users can turn on a setting for specific Patient Forms to allow Staff Level Users to sign off on forms responses. This feature is ideal for forms that generally do not require provider oversight such as forms for demographics or insurance collection. [Click here for information about this setting](/articles/Patient-Forms-Guide#sign_permissions).
## Workflow Instructions
### Reviewing and exporting responses to the chart
**1**
Open the patient’s chart. Each completed form will appear as its own report under **Outstanding Items**.
* By default, completed Patient Forms are filed under the **Patient Forms** [report category](/articles/report-types).
1. To file the forms under a different report category, click **Actions** -> **Edit Details** for each form.
2. To view all completed Patient Forms at once, click on **Reports** -> **Patient Forms** at the top of the chart.
**2**
Click on the form’s name to open and review the patient’s responses.
* Both providers and staff will have visibility of all the question texts and answers.
* Look out for any unanswered questions. Questions cannot be set as required which means patients can skip questions and submit a partially completed form.
**3**
If you’d like to export any responses to the chart, check the checkbox to the left of the response.
**4**
**Exception:** Some forms responses can only be exported to specific areas of the chart, even if you select **Clinical Profile** or **Visit Note**. (E.g. **Demographics: Personal Pronouns** or **Insurance Card Images - Primary**.)
Choose whether you are exporting to the **Clinical Profile**,**Visit Note** or **Clinical Profile and Visit Note**.
1. After exporting, you can modify the wording of the responses in the chart.
**5**
Click **Export selected** .
**6**
Sign off on the completed form(s) to add them to the patient's Chronological Record.
* By default, only Provider Level Users can sign off on forms responses. For each form, Admin Level Users can enable a setting that allows Staff Level Users to sign off on its form responses. [Click here for information about this setting](/articles/Patient-Forms-Guide#sign_permissions).

#### Processing insurance card images in forms
| **1** | AI-powered algorithms will extract the **Group ID** and **Member ID** from the insurance card images and pre-populate those fields for you. Compare the information in the images to what you see in the **Group ID** and **Member ID** fields and then compare the data to what you already have stored for the patient to see if updates are needed.

| **2** | Click **Edit** to update the insurance information in your patient's chart with the information on the new card(s). |
| **3** | Check off the box for insurance card images and click **Export selected** to export the images to your patient's demographics. Insurance card images can only be exported to the Demographics section even if you choose **Clinical Profile** or **Visit Note**. |
You must update the **Insurance Carrier Name**, **Plan Name**, **Group ID** and **Member ID** information on file before you can export the images to the patient's demographics. This is to make sure your patients always have the correct insurance data stored in their chart.
Historical insurance card images will be moved to the **Historical Insurance Records** section of the patient’s demographics.
