Frequently asked questions

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions. If you have another question, please contact us.

Video Conferencing

How do I enable video conferencing?

All HotHealth plans come with Video Conferencing included. To get started, all you will need to:

  • Enable and configure the Appointment Settings from the Manager Dashboard.
  • Add your staff members to the staff profile section, tick available for video conferencing in your staff appointment section, and edit their availability.
How do I join a video conferencing?

Joining a video appointment is easy. You can either launch the video directly from your clinical solutions (if synced), or click the link in your email reminder, or go to your appointments screen on the HotHealth site and click the upcoming appointment. There will be a green, 'join' button in the top right from 5 minutes before your scheduled start time.

Why should I use HotHealth for video conferencing and not another platform?

HotHealth's Video Conferencing function has been designed to adhere to security standards for Australian Healthcare. HotHealth allows you to keep your brand in focus, just like if your client attends your practice. Clients can access the appointment directly from your own HotHealth site or from the email notification.

How can I tell how many video conferences I have used in my plan?

You can track how many video conferencing sessions you have booked in the month in the Appointments Section Setting within the Dashboard. This will tell you how many sessions you have remaining for the current month.

Appointments & Booking

How do I schedule an appointment?

Staff members can schedule appointments via the Appointments Page on your site. Staff members should use the staff booking button.

What is the difference between Appointments and External Bookings?

The Appointments section is HotHealth's internal booking system and allows you to undertake bookings and video conferences inside the platform. External Bookings enables you to link to third party booking engines.

How many appointments are included in my subscription?

The cost of appointments booked varies depending on what plan you are on. The plans have a number of included video conferencing appointments. Please view the pricing page for more details.

Can the booking system integrate with practice management software?

HotHealth integrates with PrimaryClinic, MasterCare EMR, MasterCare+ and Best Practice. We are open to integrating with other platforms, please contact us to find out more.

Do you send the patient a booking reminder?

Confirmation and reminder emails are sent to the email address input at the time of booking. Reminders are sent one day prior and five minutes before the scheduled start.

Your HotHealth Website

How can I track my website visitors?

HotHealth provides a field for you to input a Google Analytics tracking code in the website presentation section.

What is the difference between a normal website and a HotHealth site?

HotHealth can be customized to suit your needs. If you need a website, enable all the contact and news features. If you are happy with your existing website, use HotHealth as a secondary site to run all your engagement features such as online booking, video conferencing and digital forms.

What if I don't have time to set-up my HotHealth site?

Contact us about finding out how we can assist in setting your site up for you.

Where can I get images from and what do I do if they don't fit the required size?

You can find stock images from sites like ShutterStock or PixaBay. If the resolution is too high, you can reduce the image size on sites like imagecompressor.com

Can I share articles on my website?

You can share articles on your website to be viewed by all visitors. Within these articles you can add images to the body of text using a textbox format. There are options of 'Heading 1', 'Heading 2', 'Heading 3' styles which can be used for SEO. You can also label your articles to be easily found by people searching for specific topics.

Can I share news on my website?

You can share news and blogs to a targeted audience on your website, making it viewable only to people within a certain group, ie Diabetes Group or Wellness Group. You can send these groups email notifications for updates on the posts. You can also add a video, image or PDF file to this post.

User types

What is a manager?

A manager in HotHealth is a user with the power to control all aspects of the platform. The person who created the site is automatically a manager. You can have multiple managers by granting additional access to users in the user section of the dashboard. Managers are responsible for selecting which features are turned on and off, and what the site looks like. They will manage things like security levels, group requests, news articles, etc.

What is an assistant manager?

An "Assistant Manager" can create and edit news, articles and events. You can also grant them additional access in your manager dashboard.

How do I see who the managers are?

Go to your "Dashboard" and select "Managers". Here you can see a list of all users that are managers.

I no longer want to be a manager. How do I hand it over to someone else?

Go to your dashboard and click on the "users" section. Add another user that you want to make a manager (if they are not already a manager) or edit a user to grant them manager access. Once you have a new manager for your app, they will be able to delete you or remove your manager access.

Your Account & Organisation

Can I create multiple organisations?

Yes. Note, you can create a maximum of 10 organisations and you can only have one HotHealth account per email address.

How can I stop random people joining my organisation's site?

HotHealth has a number of security and privacy settings so you have control over who joins groups in your organisation and what information they are authorised to see. In the dashboard go to the "Groups" page and set up groups to find out more.

How do I delete my organisation?

Click on the "Organization Details" option in the bottom left section of your dashboard. In the help text at the top of the page there is a link to delete your account.

How do I downgrade my account?

You need to edit your subscription in your Global Health account to downgrade or upgrade. You can access the shop by logging into the shop. Alternatively, please contact our team.

When I delete information, can I obtain a back-up?

No, when you delete information such as staff profiles or calendars, you will lose it forever. Please make sure you have made a note of any required information before you delete sections.

How can I change the name of my organisation's site?

Click on the "Organisation Details" option in the bottom left section of your dashboard. On this screen you can change the name of your organisation.
