Contact Information and Interactive Maps

We know from experience that 30% of an FHT website's traffic comes from people searching for physician and office contact information. Today, many people get this basic information via the Internet, and they expect maps and directions. Accordingly, your website needs to be smart and up-to-date: if clients are using your site to get addresses they are, by definition, tech-savy. A website from FHT Solutions gives them exactly what they expect.

FHT Website Professional uses the latest in mapping software from Google. Use the Team Portal to add each of your sites and locations and the system will do the rest, displaying an interactive contact page.

Interactive contact information and maps

With numerous configuration controls you can customise the contact page in many ways. Link Physicians listings to your locations and get an automatic listing of doctors at each site.

FHT Website Professional uses the latest in mapping software from Google. Use the Team Portal to add each of your sites and locations and the system will do the rest adding each site to the list of destinations.

Discussion Forums - Team Resources

Unlike information held in an email, a discussion forum conversation is public and can be accessed by everyone and is searchable. Encourage staff to log conversations, discussions, questions, and other information in the discussion forum and over time the information becomes a valuable team resource.

Discussion forums / bulletin board


Document Repository - Team Resources

A place to make policies, procedures, forms, templates and other documents accessible.

Access your FHT document repository system from Team Portal. Organize the folders and categories according to your own needs, and populate with your FHT materials. The repository is part of the private discussion forums system, so staff can post comments and updates to documents creating a live and dynamic environment for real work place communication and process.

Semi-Private Pages - Information for your Team and Associates

FHT Website Professional has three levels of page access: public, semi-private, and private (within the team portal). A semi-private page is accessed through a single login and password and is intended as a easy-access information resource for your FHT team and extended-team of physicians and their staff.

Private Area Login


You can put any type of page in the semi-private area, although calendar pages are particularly well suited for meeting rooms and resource allocations, and an on-call schedule, if that makes sense for your organization.

On-call Schedule

With numerous configuration controls you can customise the staff page in many ways.

  Private Area configuration Any page you develop can be flagged to the Private Area. You can set the login and password details using system configuration controls.
  Share information with associates Share information with your team and organization associates
e.g. Phone lists, plans, procedures, calendars
     
     

On-Call Schedule and other Calendars

Calendars can be added to any FHT Website Professional page, or accessed from the Team Portal. These can be especially useful in publishing an On-Call Schedule to your team and medical associates.

Calendars can also be used for meeting rooms and other resources.

Advanced Content Management - via the Team Portal

A key goal of FHT Website Professional is to make you self-sufficient in maintaining and managing your site after the initial design and set-up phase. Constantly returning to a web developer for changes and updates can cost thousands of dollars and incur huge delays and jobs have to be quoted and agreed.

“Updating is very user-friendly so we can look after the site ourselves and keep the content current to match the growing needs of our organization”

Marg Alden,
Executive Director
Maple FHT, Kingston

FHT Website Professional has an advanced Content Management System (CMS) that is custom designed for Family health Teams. A CMS web project normally costs ten of thousands of dollars and often gives you just generic functionality to adapt menus and add pages. Often you get features that are irrelevant to your organization, because the CMS was designed for generic web 'portals'. In sharp contrast to this, you will find every feature of the FHT Website Professional's Team Portal relevant and important to a Family Health Team. It was designed this way.

Every feature of FHT Website Professional has corresponding control panel within the Team Portal. Need to update a site's details? Go to "Manage FHT Location Listings". Need to add a new open job position? Go to "Manage Job Postings".

The main menu of the web system is also subject to control via the Team Portal. You can reorganize this resource as you see fit - the menu has two levels: 'categories' and 'items', and you have complete control of he categories displayed and the menu items contained within. Importantly, you can control what happens when a user clicks on a menu item. Overall, this gives you a great amount of flexibility in the form of your site, and makes it quick and easy to add pages and reorganize.
