Overview

As a means to streamline employee engagement and tracking, as well as offer easy access to due lists, employee work status, and overall health surveillance, Enterprise Health offers its certified employee and supervisor portals. Employees can schedule appointments, provide information, and complete questionnaires, easily maintaining work certifications and overall wellness. All the while, supervisors can view their personal information, as well as view their employees’ restrictions, lost time, work status, or any additional information custom to the business needs.
The Enterprise Health web-based portals are available 24/7 and provide secure access to health information, scheduling, health questionnaires, and management tools for employees and supervisors to use when and where it is most convenient for them. The employee portal is designed to prompt engagement with user-friendly, intuitive pre-exam questionnaires, with responses being captured electronically, automatically populating the appropriate fields and documents within the clinical application, thus minimizing data entry and management for clinic staff. Additionally, the supervisor portal provides a manager dashboard to view employee orders and scheduling, as well as support and work status reports, which include employee surveillance status and restrictions/accommodations. The time savings is significant – no more endless phone calls to collect information or to schedule or reschedule appointments, and a one-stop-shop for better planning around illnesses, absences, vaccine requirements, and general certifications.
Standard functionality for the employee and supervisor portals includes:

• Client-specific branding with logo and photo
• Online scheduling
• Appointment requesting
• Appointment invitation, confirmation, and reminder emails
• Questionnaires
• Secure messaging
• Work status reports, including surveillance status and restrictions/accommodations
• Employee orders
• Views to lab results and other documents needing shared with employees
• Allergies/medications/immunizations/vitals
• Reporting abilities for work-related injury/illness (including state-specific requirements)
• Links to other health resources
• Support contacts

Portals Workflow Review Demonstration

• Portals Set-Up for Demonstration
• Portals Workflow Demonstration

System Configuration

To more fully address preferred configurations and review available options and features, utilize the Provider Management sidemenu to access and edit the employee and supervisor portals. These configurations will be visible from the respective portal when accessed.
To begin the initial setup and finalize configuring of the portal(s), there is additional information that is important to understand before getting started. Review the following, and work with the Deployment Consultant to ensure the portal(s) configurations are suited to the business needs.

User-Patient Relationships

To begin utilizing any of the portal features and functionality, users must have their role and relationship established, so that appropriate access can be granted. Employees and supervisors must first be listed as employees in the Portal Provider Organization, in order to have access to their respective portals.

They must also have established relationships, consisting of Self and No More Clipboard User roles, and employees that the supervisor manages should be listed with a Supervisor role. To set these relationships, navigate to the employee’s Summary chart tab and edit the Contacts portlet. Otherwise, relationships can be established by editing user account information from Access Control .

Portal Setup

When configuring the web-based portal(s) for the first time, it is best to navigate to the Portal Setup tab of the Portal Provider Organization. This tab contains options for first-time setup and some standard configurations. These options are designed to allow portals to be preliminarily customized and accessed according to the business needs. To begin using the First Time Setup, click the section header to expand and display the options. Once opened, security roles may be selected to indicate which roles have access to the portal.

The Portal section, on the other hand, includes options to make label and verbiage changes, to update the logo, to disable either the employee or supervisor portal, and to add a consent form that would need to be electronically signed before being granted access to the portal.

Some of the options needing customized or addressed, include:

• Replacement text for Enterprise Health: This field is used to replace the Enterprise Health label with the provided text. The replacement text should be the business name.
• Logo - Upload new logo: Click the Upload new logo link to replace the default logo. The page will refresh after confirming the image selection.
• Consent forms needing completed: Click the Add consent forms link to add forms. This will determine which consent form(s) a user will be required to complete prior to being granted portal access. Users will not have portal access until all required forms are completed.

* Renewal interval: This determines the interval at which consent forms need completed. If no interval is provided, each form will only be required once. Setting the renewal interval to the shortest requirement is recommended. All other options are part of the standard configuration and are enabled by default. No additional changes are required in this section, unless more customizations are needed to suit the business needs. In these cases, users are welcome to review the [Patient Portal](../../functions/portal-management/patient-portal-first-time-setup-and-configuration.md) online help documentation, for further details.

Employee Portal

In order to access the portal as an employee, users must be established in the Enterprise Health system and have the appropriate role affiliation (i.e., an established Self role and No More Clipboard User role). To customize and configure each portal individually, users may navigate to the respective tab of the Provider Organization. For instance, the Patient Portal tab contains configuration options for the employee portal, exclusively. Under this tab, there is an Employee Portal Options section, which addresses things such as the ability to disable the message center or configure document types needed for display in the portal, or the ability to add or modify replacement text, labels, tab colors, the landing page image, or even the message ticker.

Utilize the following options to customize the employee portal, as needed: Patient Portal Configuration - Show Sample: Click the Show Sample button to view a sample page designed to show the customizable fields available. This will show a sample of the portal welcome screen.

Single function portal: When the Message Center is disabled and this option is selected, the portal will automatically be forwarded to the first module in the Module List. Disable Message Center: Selecting this option will force the Message Center to be hidden for this portal. (By default, the Message Center will be displayed, so long as the chart tab is configured.) Allowed message types for receiving within portal: This field allows users with the proper security permission (i.e., View Preliminary Documents = Yes) to view the types of messages being sent/received from/to the portal. In order to configure message types, users must have the Manage Chart Tabs security setting set to Yes. Replacement text for patient: The text provided (limit 40 characters) will replace, or substitute, any instance of patient found within the portal. Brand for portal welcome message: The name or brand to be used in the Welcome Message. This field can be updated with up to 25 characters. By default, NoMoreClipboard will be displayed. Click Show Sample to see where this will display. Description for portal welcome message: Use this field to update the description for the Portal Welcome Message. Click Show Sample to see where this will display. Custom color: To customize the portal color, use the color picker, or provide a hex color code, as desired. Buttons are blue, by default. Welcome image ID: Using the System Files Manager link, upload an image for the portal Welcome screen. Click Show Sample to see where this will display. After clicking the link, click the Add System File link in the upper-right corner of the page, and browse to the preferred image. Set the storage type as JPEG Image File, and type the alias as portal-landing-41. To save, click the Add File button. Desired dimensions are 650 x 412. Message ticker: Use this field to update the message ticker, designed to display important information or messages at the bottom of the portal Welcome page. For long messages, the ticker will scroll from right to left, and will cycle through each message. Additional messages can be added, updated, or edited using the Add/Edit Messages links. A SuperUser security permission (i.e., Manage Chart Tabs = Yes) is required for adding or editing messages, and messages are constructed using a limited markup that allows bold, italic, and linking. For help with the markup, click the Get Editing Help link.

• Designate message types for supervisors’ review: Use this field to designate which questionnaires will need reviewed by supervisors, upon completion by employees.

* Use tasks to order supervisor questionnaires based on questionnaires completed by employees: Use the corresponding links to add Fast Tasks and Tasklist Events to order questionnaires for supervisors, based on questionnaires completed by employees.

Support

The Support module displays a list of contacts with their respective phone/fax numbers and email addresses. The Custom Module Name allows the user to rename this module to specify how it appears within the portal.Applicant Portal

The applicant portal is a web-based platform available for screening new employees and streamlining the hiring process. The applicant portal is an optional module designed as a login terminal for increased usability. With it, employers have the ability to simplify the onboarding process and ensure all pre-employment needs are addressed early and accurately. This portal is configured so that candidates can be directed to the portal to complete forms and/or questionnaires, according to the hiring and pre-employment needs of the business. Candidates simply need to begin the portal session by entering their first and last name. Once the applicant has completed the forms/questionnaires, all of the information is submitted to the employer electronically. From here, a login-disabled user account will be drafted and linked to the pre-configured Applicant department, so if hired, the information can be easily merged into the employee user account.

System Configuration and Setup

Be sure to speak with a Deployment Consultant if there is interest in maintaining an applicant portal, so any preferred configurations can be fully addressed and all available options and features can be reviewed. Once the portal has been configured, the URL will be made available for marketing purposes. From the Provider Management sidemenu, however, permitted users will have the ability to edit the title, color scheme, available questionnaires, and instructions. These configurations will then be visible within the portal accessed by the candidates. Questionnaire(s) for Applicants: Clients will determine what types of information and number of forms/questionnaires applicants will be expected to complete. Discussions with the Deployment Consultant will help establish the necessary configurations and workflow (e.g., link necessary questionnaire(s) to corresponding order items; indicate what document type each questionnaire will be saved as; confirm the preferred chart tab to which each document type will be mapped). Questionnaire(s) Data Fields: Additional discussions will be needed to determine what specific information is necessary from each questionnaire being presented to applicants, as well as in what way the information will be recorded. The Deployment Consultant will assist with configuring observations and observation flowsheets, to align with the appropriate free text data fields and pre-templated options needed on each questionnaire. Order Picklist: Any questionnaires being used for the applicant portal must fall within an order picklist. Work with the Deployment Consultant to ensure an Applicant Portal order picklist is configured, listing each questionnaire needed for an Employer Organization (EO) or Provider Organization (PO) applicant portal. Applicant Portal EO or PO Chart Tab: Customizations to the applicant portal can be done through the Applicant Portal chart tab of the EO or PO, as needed. It is through the Applicant Portal chart tab that users with the necessary permissions may configure the portal components. The portal URL suffix will be provided from this tab, which will be appended to the production database base URL and distributed for use. Tasking: It is important to discuss and determine any tasklist events needing triggered whenever applicants register and submit information via the applicant portal. Merging: Once an applicant is hired, it is important to merge the applicant chart with the employee chart. New employee charts are typically generated through the HR interface feed. Determine the workflow for merging charts, and ensure users who will be working applicant charts have the necessary merge security permissions. One-Time Use Code Portal

The one-time use code portal is used for employees, contractors, or visitors who have a chart in the system but do not have access to secure sign-on (SSO). A one-time use code portal may be configured for the customer employee portal, providing all the same access and functionality, however, the user logs in via credentials they create rather than using a customer-generated account.

Once a chart is created, via HR feed or manually by an Enterprise Health user, a pick-up code is generated and shared with the employee. This code will be used to take the individual to a login screen where they enter a code and create an account. Once the account is created, the user has ongoing access to the portal. This allows them to do things such as access their records, schedule appointments, complete questionnaires, and send messages to the occupational health staff.

System Settings

In Enterprise Health systems, workflows use charts for every patient, as well as users, employees, staff, etc. Enterprise Health may already be set up to create a user when a chart is registered manually, or via an HR interface, by way of the Enable PUR Routine system setting. Correct relationships are then needed between charts and users for portal functionality to work for those users. Key Decision Points

1. What portals will be needed? Any need to have different portals by region?
2. Need jpg stock images to be used for the employee & supervisor portal
3. Is a consent form that would need to be electronically acknowledged (before being granted access to the portal) needed? If so, what is the time frame for the consent (valid for 1 year or a 1-time item)
4. Any updates to the portal colors, wording, or logo needed?
5. Are employees allowed to schedule via the portal? And if so, what appointment types should be visible on the portal?
   1. Live scheduling or requests?
6. Determine which option to go with for Employee Health Services appointment scheduling:
   1. Self Scheduling via employee/patient portal
   2. Appointment Request only via employee/patient portal (clinicians receiving requests do the scheduling in EH)
   3. None (employee to call health services to schedule an appt)
7. What is the communication strategy for rolling out the portals?
   1. Portal Marketing Content
8. Will employees be able to update their immunizations, allergies, and medications via the portal?
9. Should the employee update the portal setting items themselves? The HR feed is typically the source of truth, so these fields may be overwritten daily if they are used in the HR file.
   1. Email, Home Phone, Mobile Phone, Security Question, Preferred Language, Preferred Time Zone, Preferred Pharmacy
10. What web page should display on redirect at logout?
11. Are patients/employees allowed to access the portal (typically set up using SSO) outside the company network?
12. What message types are allowed on the portals?
13. Are any emails needed for portal notifications?
14. If utilizing the One Time Use Code portal, does the email need to be updated?
15. What organizational approvals are needed for the launch of portals?
16. What portal questionnaires/observations will drive tasking and what departments will receive the notifications?
17. Who should have access to what portal? What is the relationship to the EO (or PO) for the portal access (typically an ‘employer’ relationship)? How is that identified via the HR interface?
18. For our Health System clients who do occupational health, do they need client-branded portals? Or can all occupational health clients utilize the same portal?
