Enabling Patient Self Check-In

Enabling Patient Self Check-In

Something that comes up regularly is facilities and providers who want to allow their patients to self check-in when they arrive for their visit. If your facility has turned this feature on, you would require a kiosk stand with a computer or tablet to enable your patients to self check-in.

Note : If you want to turn on the patient self check-in feature for your facility, please contact your Customer Success Specialist or email us at support@zhealthehr.com .

Here’s how to get it all set up.

1. On your kiosk tablet/computer, open Chrome browser and copy and paste our URL -  www.zhealthehr.com . Then click enter.

The default username and password are available under your zHealth account > Update Info > Facility > Facility Details
* Note : The default username and password are available under your zHealth account > Update Info > Facility > Facility Details.




2. Once you're logged in, select your Facility from the drop-down if you've more than one facility. The window will refresh.



3. The Patient Self Check-in screen opens. Every time a patient comes in, ask the patient  to enter their 10-digit phone number* that they have provided to your office.

Make sure every patient gets this screen to self check-in themselves.
*Note: Patients with phone numbers on the schedule for today will only be checked-in. If you allow walk-ins, contact your Customer Success Specialist so that phone numbers not only on the schedule for today will be options. 



4. The next step in the self check-in process is to click the checkbox for Patient Opt-in.

Then, click on the "Signature" option. A pop-up window opens.
Note: The self check-in for minor patients should be 'Electronically signed by Guardian/Guarantor' rather than by the patient.





5a. On the Patient Signature pop-up window, the patient needs to enter his or her full name. The Signature style will appear automatically. They can click "Confirm and Sign" to proceed.

b. Or they can click "Change Style" to change the Signature style. They can select from three Signature Styles, click on one style, and click "Confirm and Sign."



6. Once they click "Confirm and Sign", they will redirected to the final step of the Signature process. Patient's Signature, name and date will appear on the screen (By default, today's date will be added). The patient needs to click on "Confirm Signature".




Changing Patient Self Check-in Password
