Front Desk® – Patient Booking Gateway v7.1.0
We have added the ability for patients to open telehealth session links when logged into their accounts. When embedded in another webpage using a Smartsoft supplied URL (e.g. clinicname.appointment.mobi), visitors using the Safari web browser will now be redirected to the standalone Patient Booking Gateway site due to strict third-party cookie blocking in the latest versions of Safari.
