NextGen Office New Patient Registration

Personalized provider web pages are a great way to build the practice and market it to potential patients. Use the New Patient Self Registration and Scheduling feature to create a provider page with an online schedule and have it published and hosted by the YourHealthFile Patient Portal. New patients can use this web page to self-register for the practice and schedule their first appointment without ever calling the office. Each practice provider can create a page and customize its content using the easy-to-use graphical template.

• Create a provider page per location and calendar resource (provider).
• Provider pages are mobile-friendly. Patients can open the pages on a mobile device.

Provider pages include the following fields and headings:

• Practice name and specialty
• Calendar of available appointment times
• Practice information
• Location address and map
• Testimonials (optional)
• Accepted payers and plans (optional) 

Embed Provider Page URL within the Practice's Website 

Work with your website developer to add these URLs within the website so that a patient can open the provider's web page.
