About this template

A health screening questionnaire is the digital equivalent of the temperature check and clipboard clipboard that became standard at building entrances during the COVID-19 pandemic. But a well-designed online screening form is faster, produces a searchable record, and can be completed before arrival — eliminating the bottleneck of a single check-in point handling everyone at once.

This template covers the core screening dimensions any organization needs: current symptoms, recent temperature, travel to high-risk areas, close contact with confirmed illness, and vaccination status. The symptom checklist is comprehensive without being alarming, and the language is direct without feeling accusatory. Respondents who answer honestly are protected — there's no incentive to hide symptoms if the form is clearly positioned as a safety tool rather than a surveillance mechanism.

formformform makes this form easy to deploy at scale. Generate one form per location or event, or use a single form with the location name field to aggregate responses across sites. Send the link via QR code at your entrance, include it in the pre-event registration email, or add it to your employee daily check-in workflow. All responses are timestamped and stored in your dashboard, giving you an auditable record for compliance or contact tracing purposes.

How to create a health screening questionnaire

  1. 1

    Click "Use this template" to open the health screening questionnaire in the formformform builder.

  2. 2

    Adjust the symptom checklist to match the health risks relevant to your setting — a food service context might emphasize GI symptoms; a hospital would include respiratory symptoms more prominently.

  3. 3

    Update the vaccination question to reflect the specific vaccines or boosters required at your location or event.

  4. 4

    Add a date/time field if you want to capture when the screening was completed (useful for contact tracing records).

  5. 5

    Generate a QR code linking to the form and post it at your entrance, or include the link in your pre-event or pre-shift communications.

  6. 6

    Publish the form and set up email notifications to alert your safety coordinator whenever a high-risk response is submitted.

Best practices for your health screening questionnaire

Deploy before arrival, not at the door

digital pre-screening sent via email or QR code the morning of a shift or event eliminates entry-point congestion and gives your team time to review flagged responses.

Keep the symptom list exhaustive but the form short

a long symptom list reassures respondents that you're taking it seriously, but too many questions causes abandonment. This template strikes the right balance.

Clearly state how the data will be used

respondents are more likely to answer honestly if they know responses are confidential, used only for safety, and not shared with their employer for disciplinary purposes.

Have a clear protocol for 'yes' answers

before deploying the form, decide what happens when someone reports symptoms or exposure. A form without a follow-up process is just a liability document.

Include the organization name field if screening across multiple locations

it lets you filter responses by site and identify clusters without maintaining separate forms for each location.

Archive submissions regularly

health screening records may be needed for public health reporting or insurance purposes. Export your dashboard to CSV monthly as a backup.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this form as an employee daily health screening? +

Yes. Send the link each morning via email or Slack, or post a QR code at the building entrance. Submissions are timestamped, so you have a clear daily record of who completed screening and when.

Can I require all event attendees to complete screening before entry? +

Yes. Include the form link in your registration confirmation email and make it clear that a completed screening is required for entry. For events, you can also post a QR code at the door for walk-ins.

Is the symptom checklist specific to COVID-19? +

The template covers a broad range of infectious illness symptoms — fever, cough, GI issues, loss of taste/smell — making it applicable to COVID-19, flu, norovirus, and other communicable diseases. You can customize the list for any pathogen of concern.

Can I add a field for employees to report their home address for contact tracing? +

Yes, you can add a short_text field for any information relevant to your contact tracing protocol. Make it clearly optional and include a brief explanation of why you're collecting it.

How do I handle respondents who report symptoms? +

The form itself doesn't take action — it collects information. Your team needs a defined protocol: typically, someone who reports symptoms is asked not to enter the facility and is directed to contact their healthcare provider. Configure an email alert so your safety officer sees flagged submissions immediately.

Can I translate this form into another language? +

Yes. You can edit every field label, option text, and paragraph content in the formformform builder. Create a Spanish version, French version, or any other language version by editing the field text directly — or duplicate the form and create multiple language versions.
