When US abortion laws changed, some Valant users expressed concern that the global Clinical History Form includes pregnancy and abortion questions that patients might feel compelled to answer, putting them and their clinicians at risk by having this information documented and stored. 

In response, Valant has added an alternative Clinical History Form, internally labeled "Clinical History Form 2 (Contains no pregnancy or abortion questions in Patient Portal)". In this form, the following four questions DO NOT appear in the Patient Portal but DO appear in Mobile Notes for the provider to fill out if they desire. 

• Have you ever been pregnant? 
• Have you ever given birth? 
• Have you had any miscarriages? 
• Have you had any abortions?

If the clinician leaves these questions blank, they will not appear in the final note. 

How to Use the Clinical History Form 2 

In order to use the Clinical History Form 2 instead of the original global Clinical History Form, select the alternate version when you are assigning it to the client as a one-time measure.
