Availability and training scope

These wide screenshots show a source-clean production build with patient login enabled only in isolated training. The original staff preview disables patient login. Your own deployment must enable this service and publish the relevant facility, practitioner and schedule. All names, phone numbers, addresses and appointments pictured are fictional. No SMS or external care occurred.

Phone association and caregiver authority

The verified phone identifies which patient records this portal lists. A phone-linked list and Switch control are not evidence of formal caregiver delegation or consent. Use your facility’s authorized process for another person. Independent scoped API checks refused another phone’s cancellation and refused a patient token’s clinician encounter access.

Troubleshooting

There is no patient tab or public landing page

Patient login can be disabled by deployment configuration. Ask the organization whether its patient appointment portal is enabled; the staff login page is not the patient self-service journey.
