How to manage patient consent in the Dashboard

Last updated 19 May 2022 04:19   ∙   ~ minute read

Best Practice, Medical Director (Pracsoft), Zedmed, Optomate

Within the Patient Search page in the HotDoc Dashboard, you can search for an active patient record in your practice's database and view or edit their HotDoc communications consent preferences. This allows you to opt in or opt out a patient for Reminders, Recalls and Results, and Health Information.

  2. This searches active patient records in your patient database and brings up any matches. If you have multiple matches, verify further details such as DOB and click View for the corresponding patient:

  3. Check or uncheck the boxes for each communication type then click Save at the bottom right. Note that the Health Information communication type refers to messages sent by HotDoc's Broadcast and Reputation features.

How to check when consent was last updated

Patient Search also shows the last time consent settings were updated, either by a team member at the practice or by the patient themselves. 

This information is shown in the 'Last Confirmed' section at the top right of the Consent tab:

  • If Last confirmed shows as 'Never', this means the consent settings have never been changed since the patient's record was first synced by HotDoc.

  • If there have been changes, you can see more details under the Patient Activity tab, including the date and time of the change, the source, and the activity that occurred.
