eCheck-In is a tool that:

You will receive an eCheck-In email or text two days before your appointment that will ask you to answer some questions about your health. For example, you will be asked about your symptoms these are called Pre-Appointment Questions (formerly known as DART or PATH). You may also be asked about the medications you take or to update your personal information such as your address.​

​On your appointment day, you will still need to check in with the front desk staff. eCheck-I​n does not replace checking in in-person.

What are the Pre-Appointment Questions?​​​​

The Princess Margaret Pre-Appointment Questions are a series of questions you will be asked to complete two days before your appointment.

Your answers help assess your health and wellbeing, such as:

• Common physical symptoms (such as pain, tiredness, nausea)
• Practical concerns (such as smoking cessation support)
  
• Emotional concerns (such as anxiety, depression)

Using the eCheck-In, you can complete your Pre-Appointment Questions wherever you are (at home or in the clinic), 2 days before your appointment. A friend, neighbour or caregiver can help you complete the questions. Yo​ur care team will view your answers to the Pre-Appointment Questions on the day of your appointment. You should mention any symptoms you are having to your care team, so they can provide you the best care.
