Website for patient portal

i am trying to establish the patient portal. Do I need a website so that i can put the website URL into the patient portal address, or can I use the external URL for my office, which then would require tunneling into the correct computer.

There are numerous forum topics on setting up portal

If you just enable the portal in the configuration it will present everything you require for your patients to explore. It works very well. If you want to add a link to a website you can do that. It’s really really simple the patient portal. Just enable it!

Hi @docrovner

Wellll, it’s a little more complex than ‘just enable it’.

The portal fundamentals are in the OpenEMR wiki, linked to from this top-level page:
https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/The_OpenEMR_6.0%2B_Patient_Portal

But several upgrades and features have been added since those docs were written which as Jerry pointed out can be found by searching in this forum:

And feel free to come back here with any questions you may come up with.

I agree. In fact after posting that statement, I should have deleted it!

To be frank with you after updating to 7.0.3 (4) i am having difficulties logging into the portal :smiley:

Hi @Warren
And I see you’ve been getting help for it, so good on you:
