In EMIS Web, managing access to shared records involves configuring role-based permissions for different job categories. The default ruleset specifies which job roles have automatic access to shared records, like General Practitioners, Pharmacists, and System Administrators. Challenges arise when specific job categories are not included in this default ruleset.
Role-Based Access Control
Not all roles are granted access under the default ruleset. If a clinician belongs to a job category outside this list, they may experience restrictions when accessing shared care records. This may impede their ability to offer complete patient care as certain shared records remain inaccessible without administrator intervention.
"Ensuring that all necessary roles are included in a practice's configuration can streamline access, avoiding delays in patient care and empowering a wider range of clinicians to make informed decisions."
Steps to Configure Access
To configure available settings, you can:
- Access the Care Record Configuration panel through EMIS Web.
- Adjust settings for Organisation or User Options to determine access levels for various roles.
- Verify if additional roles need custom permissions beyond the default ruleset.
Impact and Recommendations
While job category variations can impact the accessibility of shared records, leveraging proper configuration techniques ensures the right personnel can view necessary data. Administrators should regularly review and adjust roles to accommodate staff changes.
