Configuring Patient Facing Services for your practice

This guide will show how to enable Patient Facing Services (PFS) at your practice

Patients at practices associated with EMIS, TPP and Vision/INPS are able to connect to their Patient Facing Services via Evergreen Life. Enabling PFS at this level does not necessarily mean every patient has to have the same settings. You can enable these overall practice settings and then also edit the settings at an individual patient level.

These overall practice settings will override any individual settings. So, if at a patient level Medical Records were enabled, but at an overall practice level they are disabled, the patient will not be able to view the records.
