Getting Started with the Telehealth Room

Updated over a month ago

Allia includes a built-in, HIPAA-compliant telehealth suite that centralizes session delivery and clinical documentation. The platform is entirely browser-basedโ€”no downloads or installations required for you or your clients.

How Allia Telehealth Works

Allia uses a "one-link" model: both you and your client use the same secure URL to enter the session room.

Key Benefits:

  • Native to Allia โ€“ No need to manage third-party tools like Zoom or Microsoft Teams

  • Zero barriers for clients โ€“ No login credentials or passwords required; clients join with a single click

  • Works on any device โ€“ Clients can join from smartphones, tablets, or computers (we recommend Google Chrome for optimal performance)

  • Integrated transcription for secure AI note taking

Pro Tip: Test your setup before your first session (camera, microphone, internet connection)

For Clinicians: Joining a Telehealth Session

You can launch a telehealth session from multiple places within Allia:

Option 1: Calendar View

  • Click on any scheduled telehealth appointment block

  • Select Join

Option 2: Practice Dashboard

  • Go to your Upcoming Appointments list

  • Click Join next to the client's name

Option 3: Synced External Calendar

  • Open the appointment in your Google calendar

  • Click the meeting link directly (especially convenient when on mobile)

Pro Tip: Use Google Chrome for the most reliable experience

For Clients: Joining a Telehealth Session

Clients receive their session link automatically through multiple channels:

How Clients Access Their Link

Email notifications:

  • Link is sent immediately upon booking

  • Additional reminder emails include the link before the appointment

Allia Health mobile app:

  • Clients can join with one tap from the app's Home Screen

If a Client Can't Find Their Link

You can manually share the link in seconds:

  1. Click the appointment block in your Allia Calendar

  2. Select "Copy Meeting Link"

  3. Send the URL to your client via secure message or email

Note: Since you both use the same room link, you're simply sharing your session URL to help them enter.
