HENRY SCHEIN SECURE CHART PATIENT

PORTAL USER GUIDE

HENRY SCHEIN

SECURE CHART

PATIENT PORTAL – OVERVIEW

There are five elements to setting up and using the patient portal outlined in this document: 1. Setting up the portal site (completed by MicroMD)

2. Activating the product in the MicroMD EMR Manager (completed by MicroMD) 3. Administrative side of the portal (used by the practice)

4. Patient side of the portal (used by the patient) 5. Publishing items to the portal (used by the practice)

The first step to setting up the patient portal is to complete the Henry Schein Secure Chart Registration form and send it to the inside sales department at MicroMD. Keep in mind that billing for the patient portal begins as soon as the portal is created, so you will not want to send in the registration until your practice is ready to go live with the product. Below is a sample form:

Figure 1-1 Completing the Patient Portal Registration Form

SETTING UP THE HENRY SCHEIN

SECURE CHART PATIENT PORTAL

Henry Schein MicroMD will set up the basic patient portal after the registration paperwork has been received. The practice will complete the registration form and send it back to MicroMD. Below is an example of how the registration form should be completed.

Complete the Practice Information section. The desired portal web address will be the address the patients will go to log in to the portal (much like a website address), so keep it simple. Do not use symbols or spaces in the web address.

In the Portal Administration section, make sure the first username is an actual email address; the password is not their email address.

In the Provider Information section, enter the information for each provider in the practice.

Each provider is allowed to have up to ten users. Enter user information in the Users section as shown below.

ACTIVATING THE PRODUCT IN THE MICROMD EMR MANAGER

Before using the Henry Schein Secure Chart Patient Portal, the portal must be configured in the MicroMD EMR and the MicroMD EMR Manager. This configuration is completed by MicroMD Support or your VAR.

SETTING UP THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE OF THE HENRY SCHEIN SECURE

CHART PATIENT PORTAL

The Administrative side of the Patient Portal is used by the practice to create forms, share patient information with patients, exchange messages with patients and send patient broadcasts.

To access the administrative side of the Patient Portal, you will need to visit the following URL:

https://mysecurechart.com/micromd/install.jnlp. This will prompt you to load the Henry Schein Secure Chart Patient Portal application. Loading of the patient portal will take between 5 to 10 minutes (this will also load an icon on your desktop that looks like a gray globe). You will then see a screen like the one below prompting you to login. Enter your user name and password (from the Henry Schein Secure Chart Patient Portal Registration form) and click the Sign In button.

Figure 1-4 The Secure Chart Patient Portal Log-on Screen

The first screen you will see looks like the sample below:

The first tab of the Practice Portal window is the General tab.

Enter the URL of your Secure Chart Patient Portal in the Web address field. This will be the address you entered on the Patient Portal Registration form. It will follow the format: xxxx.mysecurechart.com, where “xxxx” is the name you selected (usually the practice name) that will precede “mysecurechart.com”. For example,

“rainbowmedical.mysecurechart.com” might be the URL chosen for Rainbow Medical.

Next, if you would like the logo of your practice to appear on the portal, enter the location of that logo in the

Custom logo URL field.

Set the desired text of the practice name in the Name Displayed field. This is how your practice name will be displayed on the Patient Portal.

Make sure that the checkboxes are checked as shown.

The Practice Profile Window

The next steps in configuring your practice for the Patient Portal can be found on the Practice Profile window. Here, the practice will enter pertinent information about the practice, such as address and contact information. This information will be displayed with the practice information when a patient logs into the portal.

From the Main menu, select Admin > Practice Profile. This will open the Practice Profile window shown below.

PATIENT PORTAL - MESSAGES

After you have configured the communications area in the EMR, you will login to the administrative section of the portal by clicking the globe icon on your desktop. When you login to the administrative section of the portal and have published documents, you will see them on the main screen.

Figure 1-16 The Administration of the Patient Portal

The patient portal works very similar to a mailbox, in that new items to the portal sent from MicroMD EMR will appear in the inbox. If a patient sends a message to the practice from his/her portal, the message will appear in the Inbox. You can read the message, reply to the message, or print the message by selecting the Options button. There are several options available, as shown below. Sent messages will appear in the Send box (highlight the Sent icon button to see sent messages). To archive a message, select the Archive button. This moves the message to the

Archive box.

Figure 1-17 Messaging Options

ADDING FORMS TO THE PORTAL

Custom forms can be added to or created in the portal. Patients may complete these forms on the portal. The practice can then access completed patient forms to print and enter the data into appropriate areas utilized by the practice. This reduces the need for patients handwriting forms prior to appointments or when waiting for check-in. To add forms, select Admin > Manage Forms. There are Private Forms (only accessible from within the portal) and Public Forms (accessible from the main portal page) Patients can chose these forms and submit to the practice via the administrative section of the portal.

To add a form, click the New button at the bottom of the screen and assign a name to the form. Mark as Active, Public or Internal. You can then add fields to the form. Choose the type of field you wish to add to the form in the box on the left. Depending on the type of field chosen, a label may be required.

Figure 1-18 Adding Forms to the Portal

For example, to add a drop-down box, select drop down. Then, in the Values field, enter each value on a separate

line. You can add a description about the question in the Description text box (as in the example below). You can make the question required by checking the Required checkbox. Continue to add additional fields one at a time. To edit the field, click the pencil icon. To change the order of the fields, highlight the field and click on the area that looks like several rows of bubbles, then drag the field to the position you want. When you have finished the form, click the Save button.

PUBLISHING DOCUMENTS TO THE HENRY SCHEIN SECURE CHART PATIENT

PORTAL

This section explains how the Patient Portal works in conjunction with the MicroMD EMR software.

Portal Updates in MicroMD EMR

MicroMD EMR monitors the medical information of web-enabled patients and informs users of chart changes that are due to be published to the Patient Portal. MicroMD EMR users receive updates in the Portal Updates section of the Desktop Navigator (see page 5 for more information on creating MicroMD EMR user’s permission to publish to the Patient Portal). From this window, users can publish these changes to the Patient Portal.

Figure 1-20 Portal Updates Desktop

The Portal Updates section of the Desktop is a log of changes made to certain Medical Information areas (Problem List, Allergies, Medications, Lab Orders and Lab Results) of web-enabled patients. The system displays the date when a change was made and the date that data category was last published to the Patient Portal for that patient. The list can be filtered by date, patient and provider.

NOTE | Double-click an entry in this list to open the appropriate patient’s chart.

Users can quickly publish to the Patient Portal by utilizing the Publish buttons located throughout areas of the

Medical Information tab in a patient chart and in the Portal Updates section of the Desktop. When you click the

Publish button, the Henry Schein Secure Chart Patient Portal window opens.

NOTE | The Publish button in MicroMD EMR is only available when

the Patient Portal is activated.

Users have additional options in the Publish drop-down menu:

 Message Only: Select this option to send a message to the patient with no document attached. The

system opens the Patient Messages and Memos window and selects Portal by default in the Deliver By

drop-down menu.

 List: Select this option to publish the medical information list you are viewing. The system opens the

Patient Portal window.

 Do Not Publish: If the user decides that the information does not need to be shared with the patient

on the patient portal, they select this option. It is then noted and removed from the list.

 Show Publish Log: Select this option to view a categorized list of items sent to the patient portal and

check on the status of a published item. The system opens the Publish Log.

Figure 1-21 Secure Chart Patient Portal Window

From the Patient Portal window, you can change the subject of the message or print a paper copy. Utilize the annotation tool to remove sensitive data from the document or to draw attention to certain elements.

Once the user clicks the Publish button, the system removes it from the active list of items that need to be sent to the portal. The patient can view it in the Messages section of the portal.
