This tab is broken into sections:
- Name of patient along the top – includes titles
and aliases.
- Address – patient address, provider clinic
address, or third-party address.
- Contact for phone and email – notes the reminder
preference as well.
- Identifiers – Patient health care number or
provider prac ID.
- Personal Info – Gender, DOB, Marriage status,
Family Dr. and Clinic name if referred to you.
- Admin – Specific details for the client stating
the type of client, end date and end date reason, who default PRAC is,
referring Doc, the verified date field and check box, and a few more notable
fields.
Billing:
This tab is useful to place the commonly used diagnostic
codes and service codes for this patient. These will default into your billing
when creating a claim if you have no codes in the visit note. If there are
codes in the visit note, these will supersede the defaults in this client card
tab.
*Note the ‘Bill Type’ field is only used by chiropractors, and ‘AHC Cov Left’ field is only
used by podiatrists.
Notes:
Each of these fields have different functions:
- Critical
notes: If there is something in this notes section, a yellow warning triangle
will appear on the notes tab along the top.
- If the popup checkbox is selected, each time this
client is selected the ‘critical note’ will appear in a popup window requiring users to click "ok" before continuing.
- Given the bald nature of the popup, it is
recommended that only notes that NEED to be seen when looking up the chart should have the popup enabled. If it is important, but not critical, it can be recorded here but without the popup checked off.
- Other
notes: These are the less important notes but useful to have noted on the
client card for reference.
- The
yellow warning triangle will appear here as well if notes in here.
- Allergies: Allergies will appear on this tab, after they have been documented on the charting overview page. (If they are entered on the notes tab on the client card, they will also appear on the overview).
- Expanded notes: this is where the dashboard notes and colors are created.

here for more information on the dashboard.
Lens: (Program setup optional tab)
This tab is used for optometry clinics only.
Track relationships between family members, insurance companies, and pharmacies.
There are perks to tracking relationships!
Having family members attached:
- Gives easy identification of parents when
calling a child, or other scenarios when needing to communicate with someone
other than the patient, for example language barriers.
- Allows for easy booking of multiple family
members while on the schedule (use the family button down the left side).
- If multiple family members have the same contact
information, and the address changes, by having them linked, you can have a
prompt to change all family members all at the same time!
Set up a default pharmacy:
- Faxing in prescriptions to the pharmacy will
become much easier knowing that the pharmacy information is already on the
chart.
- If registered with PrescribeIT, set the default PrescribeIT
pharmacy in the client card and this will populate into all prescriptions created
in the chart to send at the click of a button.
To learn more about PrescribeIT click here.
Set up the patient's benefits provider(s):
- Some third-party providers require the policy number or claim number to be included on any invoices. When creating an invoice, select the third party
and it will pull in all the relevant information, including policy numbers and claim numbers.
To learn how to add or edit third party card entries click here.
Patient Portal:
This tab allows the clinic to manage access to the patient portal for this patient. It will show whether an invite to the patient has gone out
and if it was accepted by the patient or if the invite expired.
Perks to this tab:
- If patient is not registered with the portal, a
click of a button will help send out that invite.
- Once registered, click the link to take you to
the patient messaging to initiate a new message or review previous messaging.
- Add a caregiver access to the patient messaging,
for patients who may have difficulties with receiving/responding to an
electronic message (for example an aging parent who doesn’t want to use
technology in this manner).
Set this tab up as soon as possible so you never have to
look at it again unless the patient changes their preferences.
Select the method of reminder (Email, Text, Phone), then
select the contact option from the dropdown.
Perks to this tab:
- If the clinic is using automated reminders, all reminders will go out
automatically if a matching automated reminder rule is found.
- Users can manually send reminders to those who have their reminder preferences set up.
- Add multiple reminder methods if the patient
prefers.
- Add a family member or caregiver to receive those reminders as well (using existing relationships, another client card, or a manual entry)
- Click the add button at the top right.
- The window will appear as shown below.
- Select from the existing link or look up a different client.
- Enter the description, for example Son/Daughter, and select the method and contact for the reminder.
Employee:
Here is where you will assign the access a staff member has within Healthquest.
1.
Enter the Emp Id: This will be the staff member's
username to log into Healthquest.
2.
Check off the HQ user checkbox. This will
activate the account for the user. They will be prompted to set up their password when they first log in to Healthquest.
3.
Finish going through the User portion of this tab
and selecting the role in the ‘Assign Access Based on Role:’ dropdown, this
will default the access options.
4.
Manually go through each of the check boxes for
the access portion and adjust accordingly.
To learn more about the specifics of each access check box, click
here.
Practitioner:
The practitioner tab is where the practitioner numbers and
codes are kept, for example the BA number and lab codes.
- Go through the Admin section first. The ‘Ref
Name’ is the name that will appear on the schedule and throughout Healthquest when linking to this practitioner. (Often the last name is used here).
- Setup the Alberta Health billing section with applicable
information.
- The appointments section will determine whether
the appointment schedule will be used for the clinician. As well, if virtual appointments
and online bookings are applicable to this practitioner.
- Customize the background color of the schedule for
this practitioner, and between 2 and 5 columns visible on
the schedule.
- Finally add in all the external identifiers; lab codes, WCB billing numbers, and many other. Also, if the practitioner is registered for CPAR and CII.
