Assigning a home exercise program (HEP) to your patients

How to assign a HEP to your patient using a template and how to edit previously assigned HEPs

After you've added your patient to the portal as outlined in this article, you'll need to assign a HEP in order for them to be invited to Exer Health and to begin using the app.

  1. From your patient list, find the patient you want to assign an exercise program to and click into their patient detail page.
  2. Click on the "+ Assign Home Exercise Program" button.
  3. You can either create a new HEP or assign an existing template (with no modifications) as a patient's HEP.

 


 

Create a new home exercise program (HEP)

  1. Click on the "New HEP" button.


  2. You can use one of your templates as a starter for this new HEP. To do so, click on the dropdown and select the template you want to use.
    • The template will auto-populate and you can make any changes you'd like for this patient. Note: these changes will not change the main template, they will just edit this specific patients HEP.
    • If you don't have any existing templates, check out this article to learn how to create a template.



  3. Alternatively, you can create a HEP directly from scratch.
  4. Once you have finished building the HEP for your patient, you can assign it just to that patient, or you can assign it to that patient and save the HEP as a template for future use.

  5. You will be prompted to update the template name and program notes if you'd like.

 


 

Assign an existing template as a HEP

  1. Under "Or assign a HEP directly from your template list", select a template from your template list. If you don't have any templates, check out this article to learn how to create a template.
  2. A preview of the template will populate for review on the right side.
  3. Click "Assign to Patient" to assign that template directly to the patient.




Note: Any changes made directly to that main template will not affect your patient's HEP.

Likewise, any changes made to that patient's HEP will not affect the existing template.

 


 

What patients will see

When a HEP has been assigned to the patient, it is automatically delivered in realtime to your patient's Exer Health app.

They are able to view and perform their HEP when they next open their app.
