Clinic Management of Online Files Submitted
- Clinic is responsible for providing Forms to Patient via: Paper form in Clinic, Website: Link to Google Doc or Link to online PDF form, Email Campaigns, etc. We do not supply any forms.
- If you provide forms for your patient to fill out online, there must be a way for the Patient to save the form to their pc or phone, then utilize File Upload link or Upload Website Widget. This will ensure what the patient is uploading, goes into the Intake File Queue, then straight into their File Tab within their Patient File.
After a New or Existing Patient submits a file, the clinic will receive the file into their Online Intake Queue which can be accessed within the Software Toolbar under "File Intake"
Or By going to Admin > Online Files Uploaded
If you have received a file into your database the File Intake label will light up in RED
Once a file is uploaded it takes about 2-5 min to receive into your database.
Queue Overview
Once you open your File Intake Queue, you will see patients displayed like the image below.
Green: Indicates an Existing patient the queue recognizes.
Red: Indicates a recognized Lead within the database but, does not have a case associated with them.
Grey: A New Patient not in the system, this could also be an existing patient the system cannot recognize due to the patient using a different email/cell phone that is not associated with their patient file.
Drop-Downs within the Queue
There are two drop-down areas associated with each patient name. One to the right inside the patient info column and one to the right inside the Files Uploaded column. They are used to expand the data to see what is not being displayed on the queue.
The patient info drop-down will display patient demographics.
If they are an existing patient, this info will come from their internal file. If they are a New Patient, this will come from the form they filled out to submit the files. If any of the info the new patient entered is incorrect, such as a miss-spelling, etc. You can add in the corrections and once you hit "Save Patient" the correct info will be used to create their patient file.
The files uploaded drop-down area will display the names of the files uploaded and sent to the clinic along with a "Save to Case" button.
When you expand this drop-down, you can click on the file name (1) to save it directly to your PC for viewing before the file is saved to the patients' file. Once "Save to Case" (2) is pressed, it will send the saved file directly to the patients' account> file tab.
Clearing the Queue
When you are done saving a patient's file to their account, you will need to choose the "Remove" button to the far right to remove that patient from the file queue.
