I hope that I am posting in the correct area, as this is my first post. We are exploring options on how we could go about automatically registering patients for the patient portal. I am a programmer by trade so my initial thought is to run a couple of database traces on the EMR and Patient portal side to see what happens when a patient is registered. Once I know all of the database calls/inserts, I would then build a routine that would go through that process for each patient we have an email address for and register them for the portal as well as generate the PIN letter in the chart. Once those items were completed, we would then send the patient an email with their temporary login and password. This process seems pretty straight-forward to me, but I wanted to see if anyone else has already gone down this road already. I would welcome any past experience or input.
EMR – Version 9.8 (Oracle)
PM – CPS 11.1
Portal Vendor - Kriptiq
