The TELUS Collaborative Health Record (CHR) Homepage is designed to provide you a lighter start to your day. The dashboard provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the items that you typically need to action first, such as the day's schedule, requested appointments and inventory. It is also a great way to stay connected with your clinic and field.
So that you can start your day with the Homepage, we suggest making it the default page that opens when you log into the CHR. Refer to Setting your CHR landing page.
To personalize your Homepage, refer to Customizing your Homepage.
In the grey bar at the top, your clinic name, logo and address details show along with today's date and time. Within the main Homepage area, your name and the current weather shows.
📌 Note: If you do not have permission for a specific area of the CHR, the widget is blank and a message is displayed at the top of the Homepage indicating which permission(s) you require.
