  • INTRODUCTION

    The new and Improved HFN Order Request Process using JotForms is the next step in our journey
    toward a more consistent, efficient, and patient-centered fabrication workflow. This improvement helps
    ensure the right job specification results in the right device fabrication every time.

    This updated process supports the workflow optimization work within Prism and the continued evolution
    of our Material Requirements Planning (MRP) capabilities.

    Key Benefits of the New Order Request Process

    • Unified Standards: A single source of truth to ensure up-to-date, consistent forms for all
    clinicians and fabrication teams
    • Streamlined Documentation: Structured input fields for accurate PDF outputs, removing
    ambiguity and unnecessary details
    • Faster Turnaround: Intelligent, guided form submission to minimize clarification calls and
    fabrication delays. Available optional pre-fabrication consultation to support complex cases
    • Improved Workflow Experience: Greater clarity and efficiency for clinicians, technicians
    and customer service

    About This FAQ & User Guide

    This resource is designed to help clinicians and technical teams successfully navigate the new JotForm
    based Order Request Process for physical casts and digital scans. It combines frequently asked
    questions with practical user guidance on how to access, use and fill in the new order forms, order entry
    requirements, shipping, submission, and support.

  • GENERAL USE

    1. How do I access and begin using the Order Form?

    Access the form via the Hanger Fabrication Network Website. Order Forms are located at the
    top right corner of the landing page. Order Forms are organized under three categories:
    Orthotic, Prosthetic, and Spinal.
    Click on the appropriate category and look for the form you need marked with the “NEW” tag.
    This will automatically open the new Order Form in a new browser tab, where you can begin
    filling out your request.


    2. What should I expect before I start filling out the Order Form?

    Once redirected to the order form, you can begin entering order information. Each form contains
    structured sections with required fields (marked by a red asterisk *), built in guidance, and
    logical progression to support accurate submission. Be sure to have any necessary clinical
    measurement or cast scan documentation ready before starting.

    To complement this process, we have created Orthometry Sheet “scratch pads” located on
    the Order Forms page for each order form, to help you capture patient measurements during
    visits. The Orthometry sheet can be used as a reference when completing the digital order form.

    3. How do I complete the form and submit the form?

    After filling out the required fields, click the  button. Upon completion of the form,
    click to verify your entries. Confirm order specifications details on form then
    click the button to complete your order submission.

    • Complete and submit the online order form
    • Download and print the order form PDF
    • Ship cast impression and printed PDF order form to fabrication team


    Submitting a Digital Scan:


    • Upload your cast scan with your order using the file upload box in the order form
    • Complete and submit the online order form
    • Download the order form after submission for your records. No further action is needed.

    5. Is the form compatible with all browsers and devices?

    can proceed or submit the form.


    2. Can I submit a single form for a Bilateral (Asymmetrical) patient?


    No. you will have to submit two separate forms for a Bilateral (Asymmetrical) patient. The order is Asymmetrical if a patient requires a different AFO design type, or different size measurements for right and left, you will
    need to complete a separate form submission for each side.


    3. Is there a “Standard” modification selection?


    Yes. There is a device specific “Standard” modification selection. A description of the “Standard” modifications will be provided within the online form.
    You also have the option to customize these modifications as needed.


    4. Is there support available for complex or non-standard orders?


    Yes. For complex cases, clinicians have the option to request a pre-fabrication phone
    consultation directly within the order form. This allows you to flag that a discussion is needed
    before fabrication begins.


    5. Can I submit a Cast Scan directly/along with my order?


    Yes. You can attach a cast scan with your order using the Scan upload box in the form.

    You will need to include the following measurements:

    • Average Cast thickness
    • Outside Cast Forefoot ML
    • Outside Cast Ankle ML


    The scan must be one of the following file types: med, op3, fsn or stl. There is a 60 MB file size limit.


    6. Do I need to select a fabrication site when submitting my order?


    Yes. Each new order form includes a fabrication location dropdown option. Clinicians can select
    the appropriate HFN site where they want the order fabricated. This ensures your order is
    routed to the correct fabrication site for digital orders that include scans.


    Important: Clinicians must manually create and attach a shipping label for physical cast
    orders with the correct fabrication site’s shipping address.

  • ORDER CONFIRMATION

    3. How do I use “Print page to PDF” to permanently remove password for easier file
    management within patient chart?


    4. Can I modify or cancel my order after submission?


    No. You cannot modify/cancel your order once it has been submitted. You can create a new
