Employer Portal Setup
Covered by this topic
Enterprise Health offers various portal options, depending on the needs of the client. The Employer Portal, often referred to as the Supervisor Portal, Agency Portal, or Leadership Portal, streamlines employee engagement and tracking, offering easy access to due lists, employee work statuses, as well as health surveillance. Supervisors can not only view their personal information, but they can also view their employees’ restrictions, lost time, work status, or any additional information custom to the business needs.
Employer Portal
To begin configuring the Employer Portal, it first needs to be enabled from the General Configuration section of the Portal Setup tab. Navigate to the Employer Organization that this Employer Portal needs configured on. Then select the Portal Management tab, the Portal Setup tab will display beneath it.
Initial Setup
Again, before configuring the Employer Portal, it must be enabled within the system. To do this, perform the following:
Navigate to the Control Panel->Employer Organizations
Type the name of the EO, and click the Search button.
Locate the EO Name, and click the hyperlink. In this example, we will be using Better Corp.
Locate and select the Portal Setup tab.
Click on the General Configuration section header to open and select the appropriate features to enable all portals that are necessary.
Click the Next button, or close the section by simply clicking the section header, to save the changes.
With the portal setup completed, navigate to the Employer Portal tab of the EO, to begin work on that portal’s configurations. In most systems, this tab is a subtab under the Portal Management tab.
Any permissions or settings that need to be addressed can be found under the Security Requirements section near the top of the page, and the configuration and modules can be adjusted, using the remaining sections, as needed.
- To begin the customization, click the Configuration section header to open and begin editing.
Configuration
Features
- Single function portal: When this option is selected, the portal will not default to the Message Center, but rather automatically forward to the first module in the Module List. Unless the Message Center is the desired function, Disable Message Center must be selected, below.
- Disable Message Center: By default, the Message Center will be displayed if the chart tab is configured; however, check this option to force the Message Center to be hidden for this portal.
- Enable Prefill From Context: Allows supervisors to prefill previous questionnaire answers for configured flowsheets, based on existing contexts like Documents, Encounters, or Cases, created by the selected patient.
