Health Connect Event

About Health Connect Events

The Health Connect event allows you to integrate with your Electronic Health Record (EHR) system in order to begin an action workflow in Qualtrics based on events in your EHR system. For example, you can trigger the event when a patient is discharged from one of your facilities, sending them a follow-up survey about their experience.

11. Click the plus sign (+) to add conditions and a task to your action. Conditions determine when your action fires while tasks are what happens when your action fires.
    
    Example: In this example, we created a condition so that the action will only fire when the Building field (from the event in our EHR system) is equal to Cardio.
    
    Example: You could use the XM Directory task to send a survey, the tickets task to create a Qualtrics ticket, or the email task to send an email.

Qtip: Don’t forget to toggle your action on after you create it!
