Depending on which Ocean products you are using, additional configuration may be required.

Get Started Using Ocean with Your Patients

Now that you've finished configuring your EMR to enable Ocean and all of your Ocean products are set up and ready to go, you are ready to start using Ocean with your patients.

The first thing you'll want to do is explore the Ocean eForm Library (in the eForms view of the Ocean Portal) to identify and/or create the questionnaires that you would like your patients to fill out. For more instructions on navigating the library, please refer to "eForms in Ocean's Core Library".

For some ideas about how existing Ocean sites are using Ocean in their practice, check out our Case Studies. To learn more about what you can do with Ocean in your EMR or from the Ocean Portal, check out our Start Using Ocean Section.
