You can customise your online patient questionnaires with questions that only appear when another question is answered. For general information on how to create, edit, or delete questionnaires, see here.

Note: To create and manage online patient questionnaires, you must have a role assigned to you that gives you editing permissions for Questionnaires. For more information on roles, see here.
