This is how you will receive important alerts about your schedule, patients checking in, and more.

Navigating through the App

Use the icons located at the bottom of your screen in order to move through different sections of the app. Your last location within a section will be remembered if you go to another section.

You can quickly identify which tab you are located in by looking at your navigation bar and finding the icon that is solid in appearance. The icons for the tabs that you are not actively in will appear outlined and washed out. This is to make it easier for you to discern your location within the application with a quick glance.

Your Schedule

In the schedule tab, you will find a list containing all events that pertain to you as a therapist during your time at HHMI. Here, you can view all of your upcoming appointments with patients, break times, and open times. Break times are times in which you are intentionally left off schedule in order to do non-internship things, like eating lunch or studying for one of your classes. Open times are times in which you are available for potential patients that want to schedule an appointment with you. These open times are subject to fill/empty depending on clientele calling HHMI to schedule/cancel an appointment.

An appointment will look like:

A break time will look like:

An open time will look like:

When you launch the app, you will always be taken to the schedule tab so you can see your workday immediately. As the day progresses, events will begin to disappear/complete when the end time for those events are met. If a patient cancels or does not show up for their appointment, these events will be moved to Today tab. All appointments for the day will appear on the history page in case you need to review information about that appointment.

The Today tab also will let you know how many completed and pending hours you have left for the day.

Workflow of an appointment

As a student intern, you will need to take care of a few things within your application before beginning work on a patient. Let's go over these items in order to help you get into the habit of completing these items quickly and thoroughly.

Viewing Appointment information

In order to view appointment information, tap on an appointment in your schedule tab. Within the appointment details page, you can view general information about the appointment, setup or edit a treatment plan for the patient, and view the patient's medical information, pain maps, and notes.

Treatment plans

When you are working on a patient for the first time, you will be required to setup a treatment plan for them before getting started on their massage. Upon entering the appointment information for the patient, there will be a red banner that states the treatment plan is required. 

In this case, at the bottom right of your device's screen, you will find a bright, blue button that says Add Treatment Plan. 

Tapping on the Add Treatment Plan button will open a page with a form that allows you to fill out a treatment plan for the patient. Each treatment plan you fill must have a Technique and Target Area filled out. You can use the two colored buttons above the text fields to quickly fill out the treatment plan. If you require a treatment that is more custom, you can specify the Technique and Target Areas using the corresponding textboxes below the prefilled treatment plan buttons.

For your convenience, you can also view the patient's pain map by pressing the View Pain Map 

Patient Medical Information

Patients are required to notify the school of any medical conditions or medications when they check in for their appointment. Within the appointment information page, you can see the different conditions, allergies, and more, if the patient has any. If you have questions over any serious conditions, feel free to ask the front desk about these, otherwise you can go over these ailments with the patient upon greeting them in the lobby.

Patient Pain Map Information

Patients are able to denote which areas of the body they would like to be worked on, and which areas of the body they would like you to avoid when practicing on them. You can view this information by tapping on the View Pain Map button in the appointment information page.

Areas that the patient would like you to focus on are denoted by green markings, and areas that the patient would you to avoid or ignore are denoted by red markings. You can cycle through the front and back pain maps by tapping on the Front and Back buttons at the top left of your device's screen.

Viewing and Writing Notes about a Patient

As a student intern, you are able to write notes and observations about patients that come to our school. You can view this information by scrolling down within the appointment information page. You will be able to view all notes about a patient, whether they were written by you or another student intern. These notes serve to help you learn more about others' experiences working on this patient and also learn about outstanding information about the patient in case there are special circumstances that need to taken care of when working.

To add a new note about a patient, tap on the Add Note button. You will be greeted with a pop-up that includes an area for you to write your observation, along with a submit button on the bottom of the screen. HHMI asks that these notes be thoughtful and useful, so that future student interns are able to learn valuable information about a patient that will help them during their internship work.

You're All Set

Now that you know the basics of using the HHMI student application, you will be able to quickly analyze your incoming appointments and review your enrollment information with ease. Our application is constantly being updated with new features and fixes, so it is important to periodically check if there is a new update available for your app.

If you have further questions about certain functions within the HHMI student application, feel free to contact the school, or send an email to our developer if you have specific questions over a certain feature or bug.
