Initiating The Patient Workflow

There would typically be a couple of “entry points” to the patient portal for a new patient or an existing patient. New patient registration could be done right from the appointment scheduler.

Advancing The Patient Workflow

Patients would receive an invitation to the patient portal in their email to login to the portal and set up their account. That would launch the workflow, and would include two factor authentication for security purposes.

Front Desk Procedures In The Portal

Back in the EMR, once patients have completed their registration, front desk users would access a list of registered patients, manage the sending of registrations, and check where the patients are in the online registration process.

Therapist Interventions In The Portal

Therapists would be able to review the information provided by patients via the portal.

Online Bill Payments With The Portal

Online bill pay would be another important step. After generating patient statements in the EMR, these would be sent to the patient via the portal. This will make the statements available online.
