Chart note confidential flags

Chart note confidential flags

Marking the chart note confidential

Click the ‘Confidential’ button.

Select one of the following options:
  1. Mark for my eyes only – only the user who created the chart note can view it.
  2. Mark for physicians only – only physicians can view the chart note, only physicians can remove this restriction.
  3. Mark for physicians of my skill only - only physicians with the same skill can view the chart note.  For example, a gynecologist creates a chart note and marks it confidential (for physicians of her skill only).  This means that only other gynecologists would be able to view the chart note.
