Permissions are fine-grain, which means a physician has to assign rights individually to every other staff. Only Physicians can assign rights to a staff member. Physicians cannot assign rights to other physicians to view his notes.

There are two types of permissions:

  1. Individual fine grain rights - Physicians have to assign rights to a staff individually.
  2. Group-wide - For the assignee, only one physician needs to assign the assignee the access right to have the right available to cascaded to other physicians.

    For example, only one physician has to assign rights to a staff to View Patient Records for the staff to view the patient's profile.

Here's an example of how our access rights system works:

Office ABC
Assumptions
  1. This is a small office with 3 physicians and 2 staff members
  2. You're only assigning View Calendar rights (other rights work on the same principle unless the access right is group wide).
  3. If there is no arrow drawn to another physician or staff from a physician, then there's no access rights granted for View Calendar.
    For example: A -> B means, A granted rights to B to access information A has for himself.


 

Access Privilege Summary for View Calendar:

Staff A has access to physician A, physician B and physician C

Staff B has access only to physician B
