Issue a Portal Registration PIN from Patient Administration (Practice Portal)

Version 20.10

About

Portal registration PINs can be generated from the Patient Administration section of the OP Practice Portal. When a PIN is generated from Patient Administration, a welcome communication is sent to the parent at the email address or cell phone number entered. The welcome communication contains the URL for the portal as well as the PIN assigned to the patient.
