# How Do I Connect a New Patient Form to Automatic Record Creation?

You connect a new patient form to record creation by mapping form fields directly to the corresponding patient table fields, so a submission creates a complete record automatically. On **Jestor**, this runs through native **Forms** connected to the patient **table**.

A new patient form that submits to an inbox, rather than directly into the patient table, forces someone to manually create the record before any scheduling or intake work can begin.

## What a disconnected new patient form costs

- Manual work creating a patient record for every single form submission
- Delay between a patient submitting information and their record actually existing
- Data entry errors when transcribing form fields into the record manually
- Risk of a submission being missed between arriving and being entered

## How a directly connected new patient form works

- Form fields map directly to the corresponding patient **table** fields
- A submission creates a complete, new patient record automatically
- No manual transcription step exists between the form and the record
- The patient becomes immediately schedulable and trackable

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Direct field mapping eliminates manual data entry for new patient submissions
- Immediate record visibility means staff can act on a new patient right away
- This removes the risk of a submission being lost in the handoff
- This scales from a single intake form to multiple forms across different sources
