# Pre-admission Packet

> Patient portal wizard that guides patients through completing a pre-admission intake packet before program enrollment.

Patient portal pre-admission wizard at `/portal/pre-admission/:packetId` where authenticated portal patients complete an assigned intake packet in a step-by-step wizard interface.

## Overview

The Pre-admission Packet page hosts a multi-step wizard (`PreAdmissionPacketWizard`) that a patient accesses by following a link containing their `packetId`. The page requires an authenticated portal session — the surrounding `PortalLayout` redirects unauthenticated users to `/portal/login`. The packet is fetched from `usePreadmissionPacket`; if the packet is not found (or belongs to another patient) an error state is shown. On completion the user is returned to `/portal/forms?completed=1`.

## Who it's for

Access follows your organization's role and module configuration. Access requires an active portal session scoped to the patient whose `packetId` matches the URL parameter.

## Before you start

* You must be signed in to the patient portal.
* A pre-admission packet must have been assigned to you; you cannot access this page without a valid `packetId`.

## Steps

1. Open the link provided to you (it contains your `packetId`), or navigate to `/portal/forms` and select the pending pre-admission packet.
2. Follow the wizard steps to complete each section of the packet.
3. Review your answers before final submission.
4. Submit the packet; you will be redirected to your forms list.

## Key concepts

**packetId** — A unique identifier for your specific pre-admission packet. The URL must contain a valid `packetId` associated with your account; opening another patient's packet ID will result in an error.
