Constructing Patient Links

You can add links to Patient Instructions directly to patients using patient links. The links let a patient open, view, and print a single document without logging into a secure site.

The Patient Instructions document defined in the URL displays in a browser window. You can format the document with any customizations that you apply at the client level, such as logos, headers, footers, and the Go-to-Web URL by adding an application key to the end of the URL. The patient linking mode does not support any customizations that you apply at the group level.

The following table describes parameters that you can use to include a patient link to a single Patient Instructions document.

Attribute Name	Attribute Value	Comments
HWID	ab1234	The Healthwise by WebMD Ignite document ID. This value is required.
LANG	en-us	The language code for the Patient Instructions document. This value is optional. The following values are supported: en-us = English es-us = Spanish Blank = system default language

The URL requires the base path plus the language code and the HWID. The application key is optional. The following code samples show the patient links URL.
