PHREESIA FOR
CHCs and FQHCs
Automate registration, meet your quality measures and support patient activation
Rated #1 in Patient Intake Management four years in a row
Maximize efficiency and deliver equitable, patient-centered care
Phreesia helps community health centers (CHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) deliver a consistent, patient-centric journey across every care setting and service line. Experience scalable value for registration, patient access, revenue cycle management, reporting and analytics, clinical services and operations—all without adding more staff.
Simplify registration and save staff time
Digitize check-in
Let patients check in and update their demographic information from anywhere—at home, on the go or when they arrive for their appointment—using their own device or onsite hardware. Plus, meet diverse demographic needs with support for 20+ languages.
Know your patients
Collect and report on key UDS data about patients’ race, ethnicity, preferred language, sexual orientation, gender identity and more. Our proprietary logic helps you save time, simplify patient interviews and improve data accuracy.
Collect consents
Capture signatures for HIPAA agreements, financial policies and more. And with Phreesia’s robust integrations, updated consents are automatically captured in your PM.
Monitor your intake process
Access patient information, receive automated alerts, view workflow analytics, reduce data-entry errors, manage atypical registrations and more—all from one screen.
Across Phreesia’s network, 77% of FQHC patients check themselves in
Across Phreesia’s network, 5+ minutes of staff time saved per self-service check-in
Deliver comprehensive, high-quality care
Streamline clinical intake, collect patient-reported data and easily administer screening tools.
With Phreesia, you can capture medical, family and social histories before each visit, giving clinicians the information they need to have more meaningful patient encounters. Phreesia helps you address patients’ non-medical health risks by asking privately about their access to food, housing and other social needs, and close gaps in care with customizable outreach messaging.
Phreesia also helps FQHCs deliver targeted screenings—such as the PHQ-9, PRAPARE, GAD-7, AUDIT-C and more—to gather critical health data from patients, calculate their risk scores and give care teams real-time access to the results.
Now that Phreesia handles the delivery of the PHQ-9 automatically, providers have the information they need before they enter the exam room. This is a critical piece of the workflow, and providers are able to be proactive instead of reactive … It also gives us the tools to identify and treat patients in a consistent and streamlined way.”

A customized experience for every patient
Joshua
It’s time for Joshua’s annual check-up! His community health center sends an automated message to remind him that he’s due for care—along with a link for him to schedule an appointment.
Joshua clicks the link and is taken to a scheduling form. The form is customized to match Joshua to the right appointment type, provider and location.
A few days before the visit, Joshua receives a text message or email prompting him to pre-register. He confirms his demographic information, medical history and insurance coverage, then provides his e-signature for applicable consents. Upon submission, Phreesia verifies Joshua’s eligibility and benefits, and shares the information with the health center’s administrative staff.
During registration, Joshua is automatically prompted to complete the PHQ-9, a questionnaire that helps his provider assess whether Joshua is at risk for depression.
Joshua carries a balance from a prior visit. He reviews the visit charges on his mobile phone, then selects Apple Pay® for a quick, convenient checkout.
Joshua arrives on time and checks in beforehand. And because he completed all the necessary intake tasks ahead of time, Joshua’s provider spends more time addressing his needs and having a productive, meaningful encounter.
When the appointment ends, Joshua gets a text message asking him to fill out a satisfaction survey. After completing it, he is prompted to share an online review about his visit.
Support value-based care reporting
Value-based care models rely on robust, accurate patient data to measure quality of care. And with Phreesia, you can gather the right data for your needs.
Phreesia helps you automatically capture data for a variety of quality measures—including cervical cancer screening, fall risk assessment, documentation of current medications and many others—during registration. With seamless data collection, you can more easily report on patients’ responses to intake interviews.
From help with data collection for Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) and Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) quality measures, to pertinent data to the Uniform Data System (UDS) or even Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) accreditation support, Phreesia helps you get self-reported patient data when it counts.
Phreesia helps community health centers succeed
No matter your size, location or patient demographic, Phreesia can help your organization drive outcomes that matter.
