All access to electronic patient charts is controlled through individual user passwords. The added benefit of this password access is that staff and physicians can have different levels of access to the chart assigned to them as determined by the physician. For example, receptionists may have no access to patient medical information, whereas nurses and lab technicians may have access to vital signs, laboratory and diagnosis information.  more
