Communications Launch
The key points to be clear on for the deployment of PKB for your comms campaign are:
Why - Why have the Trust bought PKB to be their Patient Portal?
What - What features of PKB will be used first to help patients engage with using their Patient Portal?
When - When do you intend to go live with launching the Patient Portal?
Who - Who do you need to communicate the launch of PKB with and what are the key messages?
How - How will you be inviting patients to register for their record?
Engaging health and care teams
...
However, registration is a long-term process. As such, your communications campaign should be actively delivered over a 12-24 month period, before continuing to register patients in your business as usual activity.
