Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria Assessment & Hives Diary

Track and Manage Chronic Urticaria with a Comprehensive Assessment Form

Chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU)—also known as chronic spontaneous urticaria—affects millions of people who experience recurring hives without a clear cause. For healthcare providers, allergists, and dermatologists, understanding each patient's unique symptom pattern, potential triggers, and autoimmune markers is essential for developing an effective treatment plan.

This Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria Assessment & Hives Diary template gives you a structured, patient-friendly form that captures detailed symptom history, tracks hive episodes over time, identifies potential triggers through elimination trials, screens for autoimmune conditions, and flags cases that need specialist referral—all in one place.

Why Paperform is ideal for chronic urticaria assessments

Built for healthcare practices that need flexible, HIPAA-alternative workflows (note: Paperform is not HIPAA compliant but works well for non-PHI or consent-based scenarios), this template helps you:

• Centralise patient-reported symptoms with conditional logic that adapts questions based on hive severity, frequency, and duration
• Track trigger exposure through detailed dietary, environmental, and medication history
• Screen for autoimmune markers with yes/no questions about related conditions, family history, and prior lab results
• Generate referral-ready summaries by routing responses into formatted reports or directly into your practice management system

Because Paperform's doc-style editor lets you mix headings, paragraphs, and form fields inline, the assessment reads more like a patient-friendly questionnaire and less like a rigid clinical intake form—improving completion rates and data quality.

Automate follow-up and referrals with Stepper

Once a patient submits their urticaria assessment, you can use Stepper, your AI-native workflow builder, to automatically:

• Route high-severity cases to allergists or dermatologists with pre-filled referral notes
• Send patients a personalised hives diary PDF or email series with trigger-tracking tips
• Update your CRM or EHR with symptom scores, trigger flags, and autoimmune screening results
• Schedule follow-up appointments or lab work orders based on assessment responses

This means less manual triage and more time focusing on patient care, while ensuring no case slips through the cracks.
