Certain users may need immediate access to patient records under emergency circumstances, even if the users lack privileges to those records under normal circumstances.
You can assign emergency access privileges to users who may need to immediately access documents that are normally restricted by VIP chart security. When users request emergency access, OnBase Patient Window displays a warning and prompts users to confirm that they want to proceed. All cases of emergency access are logged.
Emergency access does not give users access to documents restricted by confidentiality codes. To view these documents, users either must have rights to the assigned confidentiality codes, or they must have the Allow Confidentiality Code Override Access privilege. For more information, see Allow Confidentiality Code Override Access Privilege.
To configure settings for emergency access, see the following topics:
