While there is very little to install to set up Best Health Booking, some user permissions and appointment book settings must be configured in Bp Premier.
1. Check your Bp Premier version
The recommended Bp Premier version is Orchid SP1 Rev 1. If you are running version Saffron, you'll also need to install Site Manager. To check your version, select Help > About from the Bp Premier menu.
Download the latest version of Bp Premier here.
2. Update practice policies on consent
If you are using Bp Comms, you will have already considered patient consent to receive communications from your practice about clinical and appointment reminders, health information of interest to the patient, and campaigns from your practice. If online booking is new at your practice, you may wish to upgrade your practice policies on consent to include online booking communications.
3. Designate one or more PrOS administrators
To allow users to set up online bookings in PrOS, ensure that at least one user in Bp Premier has the User Permission 'Setup/Configuration' is set to Add/Edit/Delete for all relevant users.
You will need the email address for the user and their Bp Premier password to log in to the PrOS portal.
Password complexity
PrOS enforces password complexity that may be higher than the minimum password complexity required to log in to Bp Premier. PrOS will reject passwords that do not meet the following criteria:
- Must be between 8 and 20 characters
- Spaces are not permitted
- Must contain at least one digit
- Must contain at least one special character (from the following set: !@#$%^&*).
If you find PrOS consistently rejects user passwords, you could try enabling Strong password complexity in Setup > Configuration > Security to enforce minimum password complexity.
NOTE The Strong password complexity option will be enforced for all Bp Premier users. You should communicate this change to all practice staff if you enable this option.
4. Enrol in Best Health App
The Best Health App is not mandatory for online booking.
You may also choose to offer the Best Health App as an option for patients to book online and manage communications with your practice, if you aren't using the app already. Contact the Best Health Booking Sales team for more information on enrolling your practice in the Best Health App.
You are now ready to log in to PrOS and set up online booking for your practice.
