# Portal Home

> The patient portal dashboard with a personalized welcome, quick links to portal features, and active intake packet prompts.

The patient portal home is accessible at `/portal/dashboard`. This route is a nested child of `/portal` in `src/routes/pm.tsx` and renders `PortalDashboardPage`.

## Overview

The Portal Home page displays a personalized welcome using the current user's name from `useCurrentUser()`. A `PortalIntakePacket` widget is shown when `usePortalPacketAssignmentList()` returns an active assignment with status `pending` or `in_progress`. Below that, six quick-link cards navigate to portal sub-sections: Appointments (`/portal/appointments`), Health Records (`/portal/clinical`), Forms (`/portal/forms`), Billing (`/portal/billing`), Messages (`/portal/messages`), and My Info (`/portal/demographics`). The page resolves the patient ID via `usePortalPatientId()`.

## 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 and signed in to the patient portal.

## Steps

1. Sign in to the patient portal. You will be redirected to `/portal/dashboard`.
2. If you have a pending intake packet, complete it using the intake packet widget.
3. Use the quick-link cards to navigate to portal features.

## Key concepts

**Intake packet** — A pre-admission data collection assignment. When a pending or in-progress packet is found, it is surfaced prominently on the dashboard to prompt completion.

**Quick links** — Navigation cards for the six main portal areas: Appointments, Health Records, Forms, Billing, Messages, and My Info.
