Workflow
Multi-user workflow can be defined by using the GUI tools to define the states forms can transition from and the corresponding actions. This is used to track status a requisition process and typically is used to enforce signature requirements, work queue, and integrate with paper and other physical processes.
Patient portal

The facility may assign any number of forms to be available in the patient portal. PatientOS has started integration with an AJAX toolkit to enhance the user experience. Forms submitted by the patient are accessed by a pending queue within the main application. Users may reply to messages entered by the patient directly and any for clients are stored within within the patient portal and the patient will get an e-mail message directing them to the login.
