A new version of Engage Consult is being released on Thursday 16th December.  This release includes the Engage Toolbar and Single Sign On (SSO).

This release includes an update to the Engage client.


Single Sign On & Engage Toolbar

When you update to the latest version of the Engage client you will be able to use single sign on (SSO) and the Engage toolbar. 


The Engage toolbar allows you to seamlessly start video consultations and send outbound patient messages.  We will of course be enhancing this feature in future releases so watch out for new additions.

Inactivity Timeout

Organisations can also decide if the Engage client should have an inactivity timeout.  The default timeout is 60 mins however, you are able to decide whether or not to have a timeout and can set a value between 1 and 1,440 minutes.



Improved Presentation of GAD-7 & PHQ-9 Output

Whilst GAD-7 & PHQ-9 have always been available within Engage Consult we have improved these considerably to show the full score plus questions and individual scores for patient outputs and totals.  In addition we have also made these available for use with Outbound Patient messaging meaning you can choose to send the questionnaire out to patients for completion prior to your consultation.
