Setting up your practice

Benefits for your practice

Unique patient data

Data through the dashboard that allows practices to understand their patient population and make decisions based on these insights (potentially unforeseen opportunities).

Support GPs to care for patients

Within a standard consultation, GPs can view each patient goal and their daily goal completions to support them to move more and eat well.

Proactive patient care

Using the clinican dashboard GPs and Practice Nurses you can proactively identify patients who might be struggling to stay on track and reach out to make follow up appointments.

How to set up your practice

1

Sign up to Healthy Habits

Anyone from your practice can sign up and setup your practice.

Setup your practice

Users invited to join an existing practice won’t see this step. Once an account is created, invited users will be taken directly to the practice dashboard.

B. Select ‘Add Users’.

C. For each user: enter their email, and select a role. Add more users (such as a Practice Nurse, Manager, and/or GP) by selecting ‘Add another’.

D. Select ‘Invite’ and an email will be sent to each user with instructions to create a Healthy Habits account.

Once each user signs up: they will have access to your practice in Healthy Habits, which includes access to the clinician dashboard.

Verify your practice to begin adding patients

Your practice must be verified by a RACGP member before patients can be added to your dashboard.

Select ‘verify your practice’ and you will be asked to log-in to your RACGP account to verify the practice.

If you’re not a RACGP member, add one to your practice as a user to verify your practice.

5

Connect your patient/s to the clinician dashboard

In the clinician dashboard:

A. Click ‘Add a patient’

B. Enter the patient’s name, and their date of birth (optional)

C. Click ‘Generate’ to create a unique QR code

D. To download the Healthy Habits app: Your patient takes a photo of the QR code on your screen, by using the camera app on their mobile, OR you can provide them with a printed version.

E: Your patient then follows the prompts to download the Healthy Habits app. This can be done after the consultation.

Once the app is installed, your patient will be shown on your clinician dashboard. Only the practice that shared the QR code can see the patient’s data.
