Steps to Enable or Disable IHR Sharing Temporarily
- Open EMIS Web and select the patient record you wish to modify.
- Navigate to the Care Record menu, and then click on any screen except for Medication.

Why Utilize Temporary IHR Sharing?

Temporary IHR sharing ensures patient privacy is upheld while allowing vital medical information to be accessible when needed, improving decision-making and patient outcomes during unplanned healthcare events.
