Patients

The Admin Portal → Patients page gives clinic administrators a consolidated view of all patients registered with your clinic. Administrators can search and filter patients, edit contact and administrative details, send intake forms and consent documents, and invite patients to the patient portal — all without accessing any clinical records.

Note:

The Patients section in the Admin Portal is for administrative management only. Clinical data — consultation notes, medical history, prescriptions, pathology results — is only accessible in the Clinical Portal by practitioners with appropriate access. Administrators who are also practitioners can use the View full record link to open a patient's clinical record in the practitioner portal.

Patient list

Navigate to Admin Portal → Patients to see a table of all active patients. Each row shows:

ColumnDescription
NameFull name (preferred name shown in parentheses if set)
EmailPrimary contact email
PhoneMobile or landline
Last appointmentDate, type, and status of the most recent appointment
MembershipActive membership product name, if any
PortalWhether the patient has a patient portal account
ActionsOpens the patient detail panel

Searching patients

Use the search bar at the top of the list to filter by first name, last name, or email address. Search is applied as you type and is case-insensitive.

Tip:

The list loads up to 100 patients at a time. If a patient is not appearing, search by their full last name or email to locate them directly.

Patient detail panel

Click the Open button (or any row) to open the patient detail panel on the right side of the screen. The panel has two tabs:

Details tab

Shows all administrative fields for the patient, organised into sections:

  • Personal — name, preferred name, date of birth, sex
  • Contact — email, phone, address
  • Medicare — Medicare number, IRN, expiry date
  • Emergency contact — name, phone, relationship
  • DVA — DVA file number and card type
  • Health fund — fund name, membership number, member reference
  • IHI — Individual Healthcare Identifier and status

Activity tab

Shows a summary of the patient's appointment history with your clinic — most recent appointment date, type, and status. For a full clinical history, use View full record to open the patient's record in the practitioner portal.

Editing patient details

From the Details tab, click Edit to enter edit mode. All administrative fields become editable. Make your changes and click Save — changes are saved immediately via the API.

Note:

Editing a patient record from the Admin Portal updates administrative fields only. Clinical fields (notes, diagnoses, medications, etc.) cannot be modified from the Admin Portal — they are managed exclusively within the Clinical Portal.

Actions

The Actions section of the detail panel (at the bottom of the Details tab) provides shortcuts for common patient management tasks:

ActionDescription
Send formSend an intake form to the patient via email. Choose from active intake forms configured for your clinic.
Send consentSend a consent document to the patient via email. Choose from active consent templates. The patient signs electronically and the signed PDF is stored in their record.
Portal inviteSend a patient portal invitation email, allowing the patient to create a login and access their appointments, documents, and invoices.
View full recordOpens the patient's full clinical record in the practitioner portal (opens in a new tab).

Adding a new patient

Click + New Patient in the top-right corner of the Patients page to open the Add Patient form. Required fields are:

  • First name
  • Last name

Optional fields at creation:

  • Email, phone, date of birth, sex

After creating the patient, open the detail panel to complete their administrative profile (address, Medicare, health fund, etc.).

Patient portal status

The Portal column shows whether a patient has an active portal account:

  • Active — the patient has logged in to the portal at least once
  • Invited — an invitation was sent but the patient has not yet created their account
  • — no invitation has been sent

Use Portal invite from the Actions section to send or resend a portal invitation.

Clinical data boundary

The Admin Portal patient view is intentionally limited to administrative information. The following data is never shown in the Admin Portal and can only be accessed through the Clinical Portal:

  • Consultation notes and SOAP documentation
  • Medical history, conditions, and diagnoses
  • Prescriptions and medications
  • Allergies and adverse reactions
  • Pathology results and imaging reports
  • Scribe transcripts and AI draft sections

This separation ensures that administrative staff with Admin Portal access cannot view sensitive clinical records unless they also have practitioner access in the Clinical Portal.
