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.
Enable Healthshare fact sheets
- Select Setup > Preferences from the main Bp Premier screen.
- Select the General tab.
- Tick the Enable Healthshare Factsheets checkbox.
- 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.
- Select Setup > Users from the main Bp Premier screen. Select the user and click Edit.
- Click Set Permissions.
- Scroll down the permission list to Patient Education and set to 'Allow Access'.
- Click Save.

Suggest fact sheets based on patient notes
When a provider prescribes a medication for a patient, they can enter a Reason for prescription. When closing the prescribing window, the Fact Sheets button will change to show the number of fact sheets found for the condition entered, such as .
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.
Email a fact sheet
- Select the Email to patient option on the Healthshare Fact Sheets window.
- Healthshare will prompt to confirm the fact sheet and email address. The email address defaults to the address recorded in the patient demographic. If this is correct, press OK.
- The patient will receive an email from Healthshare listing the fact sheet name and a button with a link to download, view, and print the fact sheet.
Manage fact sheet favourites
To add a fact sheet to Favourites, click the Add to favourites option next to the fact sheet on the Healthshare Fact Sheets screen. A yellow star will appear next to those marked as favourites.
If you no longer want to have a fact sheet on your Favourites list, select the Favourites radio button at the top right of the screen to display the list of favourite fact sheets.
