About

Automated Enrollment is an optional feature that initiates the automatic sending of InteliChart Patient Portal registration emails so that Practice staff does not have to manage the task of issuing individual PINs to patients who have not yet completely created an InteliChart Patient Portal account. Automated Enrollment emails are triggered behind the scenes while the Practice staff is already doing their normal daily workflows (see Triggers below) and are only sent for patients whose portal status is Unregistered or Pending.

Because this is an optional feature, it must be enabled by the Practice in the InteliChart Practice Portal and the Practice can decide which Providers want to participate (see below). There is no setup in OP required for this feature.

Automated Enrollment Email Triggers

Once Automated Enrollment is enabled, an email is sent when a new appointment is scheduled or after a Visit Note is finalized (roughly 24 hours after the finalization). Parents will receive one auto-enrollment email per day. Automated Enrollment emails will also be stopped if a patient has opted out or if they have been deactivated. 

Important: Because portal enrollment is tied to the patient's name and date of birth, it's important to take into consideration patients registered with an unofficial name, such as Baby Boy or Baby Girl. If patients are registered in this way, their Basic Info must be updated to reflect the patient's given name before an appointment is scheduled or a Visit Note is finalized. 

Email Recipient and Details

Recipient

The Automated Enrollment email is sent to the patient's primary Family Contact listed (sort 1) if the contact:

• Has Joint or Exclusive Authority or resides with the patient (Res? checkbox selected)
• Has a Preferred Contact Method for Reminders selected (the field is not blank)

If, however, a patient's primary Family Contact does not have an email address entered into OP but the patient has an email entered into their Basic Information, the email will be sent to the patient's email address as long as their Preferred Contact method for Reminders is also set to Home Email. If contact criteria are met for both the Family Contact and the patient, the Family Contact prevails.

Details

At this time, the content of the email cannot be edited or changed. Here is a sample image of the email the parent/guardian will receive:

If the patient's preferred language in OP is set to Spanish, the Automated Enrollment email will be sent in Spanish.

Enable Automated Enrollment for Practice and Providers

Once Automated Enrollment is enabled at the Practice level, every provider is opted in, by default. If a Provider does not want their patients to receive Automated Enrollment emails following the scheduling of an appointment or the finalization of a Visit Note, a Practice Administrator must then disable the Automated Enrollment setting for that Provider.

1. In the Practice Portal, navigate to: Main Navigation Panel > Portal Management > General Settings.
2. Review the below setting for participating in Automated Enrollment at the practice level.

• Checked: The Practice will participate in Automated Enrollment. Follow the steps in the below section to disable individual Providers who wish to opt-out.
• Unchecked: The Practice will not participate in Automated Enrollment. When unchecked you may not enable Providers to participate in Automated Enrollment.

Parent Steps from Automated Enrollment Email

When the parent/guardian receives the Automated Enrollment email, they simply need to click the link and follow the prompts. They will have the option to request their PIN via text message or phone call. Text is recommended. A parent quick reference guide detailing the steps can be found here.
