To give the patient permission to view documentation in the portal, select Grant Permission to View Documentation.
Click Save & Continue or Save & Exit, and an activation link will be sent to the email address entered.
To give authorized contacts access to the portal, select Edit Patient in the desired patient’s chart. On the Patient Contacts tab, navigate to the email section of the desired contact.
Enter the contact’s email address and select Grant Patient and Family Portal Access. To give the contact permission to view documentation in the portal, select Grant Permission to View Documentation.

When Grant Family Portal Access is selected and the authorized contact details are saved, the system will automatically send an invitation email to the authorized contact. The email will include a link for users to complete their Patient and Family Portal account setup.
Once authorized contacts complete their account setup, they can view real-time updates on the patient’s calendar, medications, care history and contacts. Authorized contacts with access to the Patient and Family Portal can log in by entering their email address and password here.
Upon logging in to the portal, the Calendar tab will display the current month with today’s date circled.

The Medications tab displays all active and discontinued medications ordered for the patient. Select Download PDF to download a PDF copy of the patient’s medication list.
