How to set up the CDS link (Cortico Plugin) In Accuro

Last updated on 05 Apr, 2026

To use the Cortico patient messenger in Accuro, a CDS link must be created:


Important! if any of these settings does not match exactly, the CDS link won't work.

1. In clinicname.cortico.ca/admin/django_app/app create a new App object with a secure app_key string you generate. Note, the app key is a secret and should not be recorded anywhere outside of the designated space in Accuro.

2. In Accuro, create a new CDS link, with customer parameters

url=https://<clinicname>.cortico.ca/patient/

app_key=<app_key>

app=Accuro Patient Messaging

username=<cortico username>

You can get the correct cortico username from the admin area list of Users https://<clinicname>.cortico.ca/admin/auth/user/

3. In addition, set the patient_id parameter (built in) in your CDS link.
