Next step
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Women's Hormone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
After Women's Hormone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
