# Platform Patient Portal

> The patient-facing portal layout and entry point providing access to appointments, forms, billing, demographics, and messages.

The patient portal is accessible at `/portal`. This route renders `PortalLayout` from `src/cores/pm/pages/portal/PortalLayout.tsx` as a nested layout. The index route redirects to `/portal/dashboard`.

## Overview

The `/portal` route renders `PortalLayout`, a shell that wraps all portal sub-pages. Navigating to `/portal` redirects to `/portal/dashboard`. The portal provides access to the following sub-routes:

* `/portal/dashboard` — Portal home with quick links
* `/portal/appointments` — View and manage appointments
* `/portal/forms` — Pre-admission packets and intake forms
* `/portal/demographics` — View and request demographic updates
* `/portal/billing` — Billing statements and payments
* `/portal/messages` — Secure messaging
* `/portal/security` — MFA settings
* `/portal/pre-admission/:packetId` — Pre-admission intake wizard

A separate registration route is available at `/portal/register`. A legacy redirect from `/pm/portal` → `/portal/dashboard` is also defined.

## Who it's for

Access follows your organization's role and module configuration. Access is controlled by portal authentication context.

## Before you start

* You must be registered as a portal user. Registration is available at `/portal/register`.

## Steps

1. Navigate to `/portal`.
2. You will be redirected to `/portal/dashboard`.
3. Use the quick links or sidebar navigation to access portal features.
