Depending on your user privileges, you may be able to gain temporary emergency access to a patient's record in the event of an emergency. When you gain emergency access to a patient's record, your access will be audit logged. If it is critical that you access a patient's record immediately, request emergency access.

Note:

If you have the patient's record open in multiple windows, only the window from which you request emergency access is refreshed to show the restricted content.

To request emergency access:

  1. On the main toolbar, click the Emergency Access button.

    This button is displayed only if you have emergency access privileges and documents that meet your filter criteria are hidden due to confidentiality codes or VIP chart security. If there are no restricted documents that meet your filter criteria, the button is not displayed.

    Depending on your system's configuration, you may be prompted to select the type of documents to show. You may also need to specify the reason you need to access these documents.

  2. Select one or more Show documents options if applicable. Available options may vary depending on your assigned privileges.

    • VIP Chart Security- You will be granted emergency access to VIP chart documents that are not restricted by confidentiality codes.

    • Confidentiality Codes- You will be granted emergency access to documents that are restricted by confidentiality codes.

  3. Select a reason from the Reason drop-down list, if it is available.
    Note:

    If the Reason drop-down list is available, you must select a reason. Otherwise, you will not be able to proceed.

  4. Click Save to gain access.
    This action will be audit logged. A notification will be sent to the administrator, alerting the administrator that you gained access to these documents.
