On systems licensed for the HL7 module, confidentiality codes can be used to classify patients, charts, and documents as confidential. In the Medical Records Unity Client, ROI requests may display a confidentiality code notifier indicating the number of confidentiality codes in effect on items attached to the request.
Upon clicking the notifier, ROI users can view information about the confidentiality codes in effect.
For the confidentiality code notifier to be displayed:
-
The Enable Confidentiality Codes setting must be selected in OnBase Configuration under Medical | User Interface Settings | Unity | Settings.
-
The request must have attachments with confidentiality codes applied.
-
The user viewing the ROI request must have rights to the confidentiality codes applied to attachments. Rights are assigned in OnBase Configuration under Medical | Confidentiality Codes.
Confidentiality codes do not hide patients, charts, or documents in the Release of Information layout. Users with access to ROI requests do not require rights to confidentiality codes to see attachments with confidentiality codes applied. Rights to confidentiality codes are needed only to view information about confidentiality codes in effect on items attached to the request.
For information about confidentiality codes, including configuration steps and how they affect other contexts within the Medical Records Unity Client, see the Medical Records Unity Client documentation.
