3. Fill, sign and submit different forms to the provider.
4. View their account statements.
For providers, they can:
1. View patient demographics.
2. Review and approve the entries/forms submitted by the patient.

Reply to Brady\'s question-
I was emailed a verification number email, but not sure what to do with it?
Ans:After submit of registration you will be on a screen requesting authentication password, You have to enter emailed password here. Then only the registration process will be complete and entries will be made in our server. You also have to enter username and password of you choice given at the time of registration should be enter in Administration->Globals->Connectors->\'Offsite Patient Portal Username\' and \'Offsite Patient Portal Password\' .
After completing this process only you will be able to connect. Please also note that there is no direct login for providers at mydocsportal.com. They can access it only through OPENEMR.
For creating credential for patients. Demo->Choices->Allow Patient Portal=Yes Then you can see a button named Create Offsite Portal Credentials. While clicking on that button we will get a username and password. Note that you should press the save button of pop-up. Using this username, password and providerId(Created at the time of provider registration) patient can login to the patient portal.
Hi,
documents and categories tables are used for signing the PDF forms.
zh_categories: This table is used to store the categories of PDF forms And LBF in future. This table design for categorizing forms into different levels.
documents_legal_master : This is the master table for the uploaded forms as well as the lbf forms converted into pdf. In this table signature positions and flow signatures (Near Future ) are stored. By flow means patient and multiple provider can sign a single form in a particular order.
documents_legal_details : In this table each row representing each level of flow, denial reasons if any ,signed time and file path etc.
To have better understanding try to upload the two pdf files which we are uploaded in the first commit.
Register tables are used for Demo authorization mechanism. For this the mechanism suggested by you is definitely an option. Why we kept like this is it is much simpler for time being.

Hi,
In my OpenEMR, created a user (Asdf) and a portal login for patient (asdf1) and password. I then go to www.mydocsportal.com and enter in the practice id, patient id, and password. It then appears to throw a white screen of death with the following web address noted:
http://mydocsportal.com/portal_site/index_intermediate.php?site=brady
-brady
Also,
When logged into the provider portal (via Portal Activity), the 'Home' and Approval links seem to also yield a white screen of death.
-brady
Also,
(disregard below link, entered in error)
Meant to say
When logged into the provider portal (via Portal Activity), the 'Home' link seems to do nothing and the 'Approval' link seem to yield a white screen of death.

Hi,
I'm also confused about how you know which site to send your SOAP request to. Maybe I'm missing something.
-brady

It seems that your teamviewer is blocking port 80

Sathya, Brady, vicare
Just one question: after registering your practice did you enter the user name and password under "admin>> globals>> connectors> ?
There is nothing in the home screen yet and it is meant to be inactive for the time being.

Please make sure that your OpenEMR installation has a static IP. IT WILL NOT WORK ON LOCALHOST.... :)

Just a note: It's all working for me except the patient password update after login. Reseting the password from OpenEMR make's it possible to login, after you change the password on the portal you can't login again using that new password.
--Tony
It tests well for me. I am behind a static IP. I can change my password on logging in as a patient for the first time and enter the portal. I can navigate to each module within the portal like- I can update my demographics, can sign and upload forms/documents, can check my payments and accounts. I can even add new patients.
You can test here: http://nahahealthclinic.dyndns.org/zh
username: admin
password: pass
portal practice id: nhc1
you can create your own patient in the EMR and test the portal at http://mydocsportal.com
or,
you can visit mydocsportal.com and create a new patient there using the above mentioned practice ID. Then check back at the EMR using the EMR username and password stated above.
Thanks.
