Configure Patient Portal

The Patient Portal is a website where patients may book an appointment when they receive self-booking links. The Patient Portal also features other patient facing services, which are detailed below.

Contact page​

You can customise what contact information to make available on the Patient Portal.

In the user management portal

  • Select your organisation

  • Scroll down to the Patient Facing Services section. There you will find a sub-section for the Practice Contact Details.

Enter the contact information you wish your patients to have available. All fields are optional; however, we do advise supplying at least means to contact the organisation.

You may preview how the information will display to a patient by clicking on the Preview Patient Contact Page link.

Patient Tasks​

Patient tasks may display to a patient when they visit the patient portal. Tasks are derived from matches against any of the clinical rules that are in effect for your organisation.

An example of how tasks display to a patient is show below. Patients are shown only the tasks that apply to the individual, the relevant status, and are given instructions. These instructions can be set by the practice.

The default text that will be displayed per status is visible in grey when the text areas are empty.
