Setting up the Elation + Fullscript integration
The Elation integration with Fullscript requires coordination between both Fullscript and Elation for setup and activation. Practitioners who already have a Fullscript account and want to integrate it with Elation, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Fullscript account. If you don’t have an account, sign up here.
- From the practitioner menu, select Integrations.
- Select Elation.
- Then, click Get Started Now.
- Complete the Interest Form [Authorization and Consent (A&C)].
- After completing the A&C form, wait to receive an email via DocuSign from Fullscript to review and sign our standard Business Associate Agreement (BAA) before we can enable the integration.
- Once everything’s set up, you’ll receive an email confirming that your integration is enabled.
Note:
This process can take 3-5 business days as it requires coordinating API keys with the Elation team.
- After receiving the email notification that your integration has been enabled, log into your Elation account and find the Fullscript button in the patient chart. If you don’t see the Fullscript link right away, please wait and refresh your page, as it’s sometimes delayed.
- Log in with your existing credentials to start using the integration.
- Select the Elation practitioner account you want connected to your Fullscript account. We can only associate one Elation account with one Fullscript account.
Note:
If other practitioners in your practice want to use Fullscript with Elation, they’ll need a Fullscript account. You can add them as sub-practitioners under your Fullscript store (so they’re covered by your BAA), or they can create their own store if they have an Elation account.
Creating a Fullscript recommendation in Elation
For this integration, clicking the Fullscript link in an Elation patient profile opens Fullscript in a new tab. Practitioners can access all Fullscript features, create a plan, and then close the tab to return to Elation. The recommended supplements will appear in the Chronological Record.
- Navigate to a patient the way you normally do.
- Click on the Fullscript link or go through integrations.
- The patient information from Elation will automatically be used to search for an existing matching patient based on email address. If the patient doesn’t exist in Fullscript yet, you have the option to create a new patient instead, which will create a new patient profile in Fullscript.
- You’ll then be directed to the patient profile in Fullscript. Create a plan as you normally would in Fullscript.
- When you’re ready to send the plan, click Send to patient.
- After sending the plan to your patient, you can close the Fullscript tab and navigate back to Elation. The recommended supplements will be listed under Chronological Record in the patient chart.
Deactivating the integration & unlinking your practitioner account
Deactivating this integration would be necessary under two circumstances: If you connect the incorrect Fullscript account to your Elation account, or if you no longer want Fullscript active inside your Elation instance.
To disconnect your Fullscript practitioner account from your Elation account on Fullscript:
- Log into your Fullscript account.
- From the practitioner menu, select Integrations.
- Select Elation and then click the Disconnect button.
Note:
If you wish to reactivate the integration, please email elationintegration@fullscript.com or contact your Elation representative and we will work with the Elation team to get the integration enabled.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a cost to use Fullscript as an Elation member?
No! Elation’s integration with Fullscript is available to all Elation members at no additional cost, and a Fullscript account is free.
Where do I find my Elation Practice Name needed in order to submit the Authorization and Consent form?
If you don’t know what your practice name with Elation is, please refer to Elation’s Practice Locations Guide.
What is the Elation Authorization & Consent (A&C) form and how do I submit it?
The Authorization and Consent form is a requirement from Elation to enable a 3rd-party integration such as Fullscript. Simply review and complete it here and wait for the Fullscript team to let you know that the integration is enabled. This Fullscript team will send an email confirming receipt and a follow-up email once approved and the integration is enabled on the Elation end.
Once enabled, the Fullscript app will be available under patient information in the patient chart in Elation. You’ll need to have a Fullscript account and execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in order to use the application.
Why do I need a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Fullscript to enable the Elation integration?
All Elation marketplace partners are required to execute BAA with accounts wanting to access their integrations. We have a standard BAA we can share with your team. We’ll follow up by providing a BAA via DocuSign for easy execution once you’ve completed the A&C form.
Will details of existing plans created in the Fullscript web app be synced to Elation?
No. Only the details of plans that are created using the integration will automatically be synced to the patient chart in Elation.
Where do I access the Fullscript integration within Elation?
Once enabled, navigate to a patient’s chart and click on Fullscript on the left-hand navigation under patient information. Once you’ve sent a plan, it’ll automatically be documented under the Chronological Record.
I am not seeing recommendations for my patients populating in the Permanent OTC Meds section. Why?
To have products from your plans populate in the Permanent OTC Meds section of the patient chart, set duration to ‘ongoing’ when you are creating a Fullscript plan for your patients.
Can I edit a plan that’s already been sent to the patient?
No, you can’t. A brand new plan will be written.
Can I change the Elation practitioner that I assigned to my Fullscript account when I first signed in?
Unfortunately, we are not able to switch the Elation practitioner account that was initially selected at this time. Please contact elationintegration@fullscript.com for additional assistance.
Troubleshooting certain errors
The Fullscript link doesn’t show up as an option in my patient’s chart
If the Fullscript link doesn’t appear on your patient’s chart, it’s due to one of the following:
- The integration isn’t yet enabled: The Fullscript team will be manually enabling the Elation integration on your account after receiving the Authorization and Consent form and connecting with Elation. This process might take a few business days. Please wait for an email from Fullscript informing you that the Elation integration has been enabled.
- Contact elationintegration@fullscript.com for further assistance if you don’t see the Fullscript link after receiving an email that the integration has been enabled for your account.
I’m trying to sign in, but it says “Account not found”
This could mean one of two things:
- You’re signed in to Fullscript with a different account than the account you’re trying to access through the integration. Please go to Fullscript and make sure you are signed in to the correct account.
- You’re trying to log in with an account that’s not registered under this integration. Please make sure you are logging in with the correct account.
I’m trying to write a plan for my patient, but it says “No email found”.
Fullscript treats the patient email as the unique identifier, therefore an email needs to be added to Elation to be able to match it to a patient in Fullscript. Please edit the patient profile and add an email.
I’m trying to write a plan for my patient but it says “Email in use” with two confusing options.
In Fullscript, each patient must have a unique email address as their identifier. This means two patients can’t share the same email. However, in Elation, it’s possible to have multiple patients (such as family members) under a single email address. You have three options:
- Re-link and update the patient name in Fullscript:
- Scenario: For instance, John and Laura are husband and wife sharing an email. You want to create a plan for John, but the email is currently linked to Laura in Fullscript.
- Action: Re-link the email to John’s profile by updating the name from Laura to John in Fullscript. This effectively shifts the profile to John while using the same email.
- Re-link without changing the name in Fullscript:
- Scenario: If you are trying to create a plan for John but prefer not to alter the existing Fullscript profile named Laura, this scenario is similar to the above.
- Action: Re-link the email to the existing profile (still under Laura’s name) without changing the name. This means the plan you write will be under Laura’s name, despite being intended for John.
- Cancel and update email in Elation:
- Action: If neither of the above solutions is viable, you can choose to cancel the current process. You’ll need to return to Elation and update the email information for John or Laura to ensure each has a unique email. This allows you to create separate plans in Fullscript without issues.
