Patient Portal Instructions: 
If it comes up in the middle of your visit that the patient expresses an interest to sign up for the portal, instead of telling your patients to call the toll free number, you can help yourself and the patient directly! 

Steps to Help Set Up Portal: 
1)      Open a new task.
2)      Click “Team” in the “assign to."
3)      Search for “FMH,” click enter. Choose “FMH Invite Requests.”
4)      Choose “Call back/follow up admin.”
5)      Write a message “please send the portal invitation to the patient’s email  george.washington@yahoo.com.”
6)      Tell the patient to check their inbox or spam box for an email in the next few days and follow the instructions there.

The portal is a great way to communicate efficiently (most of the time) with patients about simple questions and clinical advice. Enjoy this new feature!
