Sign and sync treatment plans via NexHealth

With the NexHealth app on the iPad, you can send treatment plans to patients in real-time, and have them sign the plan in-office. Then, have the plan automatically upload to the document center of your health record system.

1. Download the Enlive desktop app on the same computer where you access your practice management system. This is how NexHealth connects the iPad app to the treatment plan in your health record system.

2. On the NexHealth iPad app, search and select your patient using the search bar at the top.

3. In your health record system, open the treatment plan and go to print it.

4. You will have a printer named Enlive Print to iPad. This is a digital “print” and sends it to the iPad for you.

5. Click OK.

6. A second pop-up asks you to confirm the iPad you want it to be sent to. This is helpful if you have multiple iPads in the office. Select the iPad.

7. This opens the form on the iPad for the patient with a box for signature.

8. Have the patient and provider sign the treatment plan on the iPad.

9. Finally, you will be presented with two options on screen:

View & Email Completed Documents -- allows you to review and send a copy to the patient.

All Done -- sends the form to your health record system.‍

10. Select All Done, and the form appears in the patient's chart.
