What's the context?
Meddbase enables documents to be shared online with employer contacts to be viewed in the Occupational Health (OH) Portal. In some scenarios, users need to manually notify employer contacts when a document is shared.
To support this, a feature has been developed which enables:
- Meddbase users to manually email specified contacts to notify them about a shared document
- The email recipient to select a link in the email to view the document online
But before doing that, a range of pre-requisite configuration and data setup needs to be done.
What is the purpose of the article?
This article outlines how to meet the pre-requisites. Namely:
- The configuration needed to be able to use the feature
- The data needed for organisations
- The data needed for patients
To see how the feature is used, please view the article How to send a link to view a shared document in the OH Portal.
What pre-requisite configuration is needed to be able to use the feature?
The sub-sections below set out a checklist of configuration activities needed before the feature can be used.
The feature needs to be activated
The Emailing portal link from OH document feature needs to be activated. Please contact your account manager (email accountmanagement@meddbase.com) for advice.
The Occupational Health Portal needs to be up and running
To select a link in a notification email to view the document, the OH Portal needs to be activated, configured and in live use.
The Occupational Health Portal is also referred to as the Referral Portal.
