What is Better Consult?
BetterConsult is a pre-consultation smart questionnaire that helps your patients communicate their symptoms, medications, and other relevant clinical details before their appointment.
The responses are automatically converted into concise, structured notes, ready for you to review and include in your consultation.
BetterConsult is a Best Practice Gold Partner and is free for Best Practice Premier customers.
