Patient access: Provide access for personalized care

Provide patients with access to their health data, knowledge articles, and in-person and virtual appointment scheduling. Enable patients to chat with a health bot, communicate with a caregiver, and view their clinical data, all within the portal provided by Patient access.

Key capabilities for Patient access include:

  • Provide access: Give patients an easy-to-use portal to access their health information.

  • Direct engagement: Enable patients to engage through automated chat conversations that hand off to your patient service center.

  • Scheduling and messaging: Let your patients schedule appointments and send messages to their providers.

Patient access customizes Microsoft Power Pages with healthcare-specific capabilities as part of Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare. Learn more on how to use Power Pages, and how to deploy and configure Patient access.

Patient Portal

To access the Patient Portal app from Microsoft Power Apps, on your Power Apps Home page, select Apps, and then select the Portal - Patient app. Sign in using a local account or an external account.

Note

Users must have sufficient rights in order to access patient records through Portal Web Roles.

Update profile

The first time that a patient signs in to Patient access, they're required to update their profile. The patient updates their profile and account information, and then selects Update. To update a profile at any time, or to sign out, select the user menu to view the profile and account information.

The bot can be programmed to escalate the patient’s chat session to an agent or directly to a doctor.

The agent or doctor can view the patient detail, the chat history, and search knowledge articles to help resolve the patient’s issue. The agent or doctor must be signed in to Dynamics 365 as an Agent to receive the escalation.

Activities

An activity is the primary driver of a care plan that helps track the progress of the care plan. Patients can see the current, completed and overdue activities that are part of the care plan.

The patient can view upcoming activities for the day on the home page of the Patient access portal.
