This guide is to provide guiadance and list of requirements for Clients that are looking to use the Patient Interactive Module in CareRight. This will allow users to email Assessments from CareRight to patients.
- The Patient Interactive Module , and some other areas of the CareRight system require a public facing URL.
- For customers who are hosted on premise, this will often require the use of a reverse proxy.
Note: this does not apply to customers hosted with clintel - *.use.careright.com.au.
Reverse Proxy
Approach 1: IIS
IIS provides this capability via Application Request Routing.
Useful tutorials:

Approach 2: Apache

Approach 3: nginx

Firewall rules
Permit traffic from your web server instance to the CareRight instance, port 443.
Certificates
Configure HTTPS internally, externally. You will be receiving patient information so need to ensure your public and internal sites are secure (edited)
DNS/subdomains
We recommend choosing a friendly, public facing subdomain. IE: patients.yourdomain.com
There are no specific limitations on this.
URLs to proxy
When reverse proxying; you want to ensure all traffic hitting your endpoint is mapped to the internal Careright instance, with the url /patient_portal/ suffix appended.
IE; a user visiting https://patients.yourdomain.com/* would be served content from https://internal.careright.local/patient_portal/*
Testing
Visit https://patients.yourdomain.com/
You should get a permission denied screen, from the CareRight instance - this indicates you are reaching the right locations.
Branding settings in CareRight
Input your https://patients.yourdomain.com/ address appropriately.
See Branding Settings.
SMTP
