Isla supports the storing and sharing of resources such as images, videos, and pdfs through the platform. Logged-in users are now able to send these resources through text or email messages to their patients, further supporting care of patients at home. These resources can be uploaded to a team page by team admins (team members who have enhanced permissions on Isla), and are accessible to all team members. The resources may have a description included, which will be automatically appended to the text or email message in which the resource is sent.

As the links do not require patients to log in or authenticate for access, no patient-identifiable information should be included in the resources.

To view the resources available on your team, or to upload a new resource as a team admin, click on 'My teams' in the header menu and select the relevant team, then navigate to the 'Resource library'.

Resources should be named clearly, and a patient-facing description may be added. If an existing resource is edited and replaced, any patients who received a link prior to the replacement will now be redirected to the new resource (no need to send a new link!)

To send a resource to a patient, navigate to the patient's record. Click 'More Actions' and select 'Message the patient'.

On clicking 'Attach a file', you will be able to select resources from the team assigned to that collection. Please note that you can only select and send one resource at a time.

The patient will receive a text or email message including the link to the resource. The link will not expire, so patients will be able to view the resource sent to them until it is deleted from your team's resource library.
