Terms of Use
You can include a Terms of Use statement to be displayed on the intro of the public booking site and patient health profile questionnaire (which links from their confirmation email). There is an additional preference to specify if consenting to the terms of use should be mandatory or not.
How it works:
- Go to Setup > Preference > Public Booking Preferences > Terms of Use tab.
- Edit the default copy as needed and click SAVE.
- To make consent mandatory, check on the check box 'Terms of Use consent is mandatory'.
~ If this is checked on the terms of use will additionally be displayed to the patient on the password creation screen, or on the walk-in site if consent has not already been documented. They will not be able to proceed without checking the box to document their consent.
~ A time stamp of when the patient submits their consent is tagged to their patient record.
Terms of Use default copy is provided in the attached file below.
