Create Links to Display a Provider’s Virtual Care Appointments
In the EHR data model, providers are linked to their appointments through the Individual
object. Create links to the Individual object for each provider to generate a list of their
appointments in the My Appointments component. This step is only required if you’re using the EHR
data model.

Create links for each provider from their Contact record and User Profile to their Individual record.

Create a link from the Contact record to the Individual record for a provider:
-
Verify that the Individual lookup field is on the Contact layout. If not, add it.
Be sure to select the lookup field rather than the formula text field HC4a__IndividualId__c.
- Navigate to the provider’s Contact record and click Edit.
-
In the Individual field, search for the provider’s name. If no Individual record exists
for the provider, create a record by selecting New Individual. Enter
required information in the New Individual screen and save your work.

-
Verify that the Individual lookup field is on the Contact layout. If not, add it.
-
Now create a link from the provider’s User record to their Individual record:
- Verify that the Individual field is on the User Profile layout. If not, add it.
- Navigate to the provider’s User Profile and click Edit.
- In the Individual field, search for the provider’s name. Select the Individual record that you selected when creating a link from Contact.
