Invite patients to the patient portal

Halaxy's patient portal enables patients to track their health, manage appointments, view shared clinical records, and pay for invoices.

Note

You can only apply bulk updates to patients that you have access to. You cannot apply updates to patients whose names are anonymized.

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to send an invite, check that the recipient email address is not linked to a practitioner.

  5. Click Invite.

Note

If the email address is already linked to a patient portal, the Confirm Patient pop-up appears. Tick Confirm that this is the correct user, then click Submit to link the patient's existing account to your practice. For the full steps, see Link to an existing patient account.

You have sent an invitation to the patient to join Halaxy. When they accept, you receive a notification on Halaxy.

The invitation contains instructions for the patient to accept the invite and set up their account.

Note

If you cannot find the invite link, you need to enable patient portal invitations in Settings > General > Patient Access.

Send a bulk patient portal invitation to multiple patients

You can invite multiple patients to the patient portal at the same time.

  1. Click Reports > Patient.

  2. On the top right, click New Report.

  3. For Report Type, select Case Load.

  4. (Optional) Set any other filters you want to create a list of patients.

  5. Click Run.

  6. In the report results, tick the checkbox for each patient you want to invite to the patient portal.

  7. On the top right, click Actions, then select Invite to patient portal.

  8. (Optional) In the pop-up, add a custom message that displays above the invitation in the email.

  9. Click Invite.

You have sent a patient portal invitation to the selected patients.

Note

Patients who already have a patient portal linked to your practice do not receive a bulk invitation. To link a patient with an existing portal account, invite the patient individually.
