New Telehealth Features: Phone consultation, reminders for telehealth, and add files to emails
Seeing your patients online is only one of the many challenges of running a virtual practice, but there’s no need to worry, Halaxy has been helping thousands of practitioners manage their practices online for years now - and we continue to release new features to help you manage your telehealth appointments and more, each and every week.
Today you'll learn how to set a consultation type (including online and now phone consultations) for specific days and times of the week - this will save you a lot of time when creating new telehealth appointments!
Because of social distancing, you're also probably sharing more files online - so we made improvements to how you can attach files in Halaxy. The great news is that you can now add files to any emails sent via Halaxy.
These are features that seem small but have a huge positive impact in times of the COVID-19 outbreak, so keep reading to learn how to make the most out of them at your practice.
Consultation Type:
1. Phone consultation
In case you missed it, we've added the ability to set your consultation type to online consultations and physical (in clinic) a couple of weeks ago.
Now you also have the option to set your consultation type to phone consultation and home visit, if you like.

2. Set a default location based on your consultation type

1. Click Personal > Locations.
2. To edit your schedule, click the pencil icon next to Add Another Schedule; or to add a new schedule click on Add Another Schedule.
3. Select the consultation type you'd like to apply to that location, day and time of the week - click Save.
3. Reminders for online and phone consultations
