Patient handouts

Patient handouts

Patient handouts are commonly used handouts that are saved electronically within Healthquest. These are resources that do not need patient information on or filling out.

Benefits of using handouts include:

  1. Saves having to store paper copies and remembering to photocopy the last copy.
  2. Access handouts anywhere you access Healthquest. There is no need to be in the office where the paper copies are kept.
  3. Send handouts to patients through patient messaging. 
To access the patient handouts while in a patient chart, click print.

Select handout from the right.

Click print or check off ‘Send through patient portal’ and print.
