Healthshare fact sheets

Healthshare allows doctors to share patient education by providing a database of over 800 topics. A provider can print or email fact sheets, videos, and medication information leaflets for a patient or practice to display.

Refer to the Healthshare website www.healthsharefactsheets.com.au for further information.

If you are using the latest version of Bp Premier, HealthShare functionality is available by default. However, you may need to set a user's preference before the user can use Healthshare fact sheets.

  2. Select the General tab.
  3. Tick the Enable Healthshare Factsheets checkbox.
  4. Click Save.

You also need to enable access to patient education materials through user permissions. An administrator can do this, or the provider if they can modify their own permissions.

  1. Select Setup > Users from the main Bp Premier screen. Select the user and click Edit.
  2. Click Set Permissions.
  3. Scroll down the permission list to Patient Education and set to 'Allow Access'.
  4. Click Save.

When you click on the Fact Sheets button, the Healthshare Fact Sheets screen lists all fact sheets that are relevant for the prescription reason entered.

The Healthshare Fact Sheets screen behaves the same way if a provider:

  • enters a Past History item and ticks Save as reason for visit
  • adds a Diagnosis or Reason for Visit using any of the methods available in the patient record.

If a provider enters more than one condition or reason, fact sheets will be grouped by condition.
