In the Dashboard you can view the history of all quick consults patient requests for prescriptions and referrals under Quick Consults > Requests.
This section is helpful if you ever needs to prompt practitioners to complete requests if they're in a pending state, reassign requests to different practitioners, or view the details of a patients request. You are also able to complete, decline or refund a request from this area incase your practitioners are not able to complete requests in the HotDoc Sidebar.

How do I view Quick Consult requests in the Dashboard?
How will I be notified of pending requests or any requests that have failed to collect payment?
When a patient submits a request your nominated practice contact person will be notified via email. and we'll also send a daily summary email with a round up of all pending request and any request that have failed to collect payment. Requests will appear in a 'pending' status in the Dashboard if they require actioning and we recommend checking for pending requests regularly, in case any issues arise with the email being received. |
HotDoc will email the notification email address that you have entered in the HotDoc Dashboard under Quick Consults > Settings > General under Practice Details:
Example of where the Practice contact details are set up.
Daily Summary Email
- You will receive this email between 8:00AM-10:00AM each day that you have pending requests or expired requests since 'yesterday'. This is sent to your nominated email.
- Click 'View' next to the request and it will redirect you to the HotDoc Dashboard to Quick Consults > Requests.
- When a patient requests a repeat prescription or referral, we pre-authorise the funds for 5 business days. After this time, we release the funds and store the patient's payment method so that your practitioners can approve requests after 5 business days. If the practitioner approves a request after 5 business days, the patient's payment may fail if they have insufficient fund and this will be shown below. to learn more head to: How to manage failed Quick Consult payments
Example of a daily summary email that is sent to the practice contact person.
Email per request
- You will receive an email each time a patient requests a repeat at your practice, sent to your nominated email.
- Clicking the link, 'Review [x] request on your HotDoc Dashboard', will redirect you to the patient's request in the Quick Consults > Requests section.
