Patient Portal Access and Onboarding

The patient’s name, contact information, and personal details are required for scheduling, clinical documentation, telemedicine, billing, and more in VEHRDICT. Users have the flexibility to either:

Enter patient details manually
Allow the patient to complete their profile via the secure Patient Portal

This ensures accuracy, enhances patient engagement, and reduces administrative workload.

>

Tip: Encouraging patients to use the Patient Portal improves data accuracy, reduces intake time, and supports a more efficient visit workflow.

---

Log In to the Patient Portal

To assist the patient in accessing or updating their portal:

Navigate to the patient's chart
Click Edit Patient from the top of the Patient Dashboard
Go to the Portal tab
Click the Login to Patient Portal button

Access the Patient Portal directly from the Portal tab

You may also:

Upload a profile picture for the patient
Send a Welcome Message via:

 * SMS (if a valid phone number is on file)
 * Email (if a valid email is provided)

This message prompts the patient to log in and complete or update their personal details directly.

>

Tip: Sending the welcome message immediately after registration helps ensure patients onboard quickly and start using digital services.

Patient Portal Features

Once logged in, the patient will have access to a familiar, easy-to-navigate interface that reflects the design of the VEHRDICT system. The portal provides patients with secure access to:

Communication with providers and staff
Appointment scheduling and telemedicine access
Forms and documents for review or submission
Personal and insurance information
Billing and invoice review

The Patient Portal gives patients control over their health information

>

Tip: It is best practice to introduce the Patient Portal during the patient's first visit and encourage its use for all future interactions.
