The option for patients to check in prior to their appointment via Patient Portal has been removed on 5th August 2022. |
Patients can check-in for their appointment via their portal by selecting 'Check in now' on their own device:
This will take patients to their check-in screen. From here they just select the ‘Check in now’ button.
This will arrive their appointment in EXACT and display a message confirming successful check-in, or a message advising them to see reception if unsuccessful.
You can customise the check-in response messages that the patient sees when they check in - see “Displaying Messages” section at bottom of the page.
Currently it is far easier for the patient to use the Check In Now option on their own device, but expand the below if you still wish to use/setup a Check in kiosk.
You can also have a self check-in kiosk device in practice for patients to scan their QR code when they arrive in practice. Tablet requirements
