Patient Portal Document Assignment Administration

Patient Portal users can complete documents while in the portal, immediately adding these documents to SmartCare for other users, including Staff Users, to view. These documents must be assigned to a patient portal user by a staff user, as the staff must designate the appropriate program these documents will be associated with.

Staff users cannot assign singular documents to a patient portal user; they must assign a document packet. A document packet may include only a single document or multiple documents. These document packets are configured by the System Administrator using the methods below.
