Security Role Settings
Covered by this topic
The WebChart system is HIPAA compliant and the role based access control security determines who can access the EHR system, and which features of the system the staff member may use. The WebChart administrator can allow or limit staff access to patient information, lab results and WebChart modification features. Security roles can be defined for an entire department such as physicians, reception, outside guests such as hospitals, or roles can be customized individually.
Review user security settings for individual users or role based needing access to the various functionality, and give permission, as appropriate. The feature on how to compare security role based permissions is available in the Compare Security Roles online help.
Editing Security Settings
For All Users in a specific Security Role
Click the Control Panel tab from the left sidebar menu.
Click Access Control, then Security Roles tab from top menu.
Select the security role that you wish to change security settings for by clicking edit to the right of the department security role name.
At the top it will display which security role you are in for editing. It also states the number of current users in this role. Click the view revision history for … to view revisions previously done to this security role. This opens up a new window and you can search for revision details. This is also the same link named Revisions that is provided in the prior listing of security roles options column.
Change any security settings by using the drop-down arrow in the field(s).
When finished changing any security settings for the entire role, scroll down to the bottom of this security role edit screen. At the very bottom there is a text field where you are required to type in the reason for the security permission change(s). You have to type something in here or it will not save your edits. Then, click the Update Individual Security button below that. It then saves these security settings for this individual user only. These changes do not affect the entire security role, just this individual user.
You will then get a confirmation message that you successfully edited/updated that entire security role. You can select another security role department to change or continue to work in WebChart .
For Individual Users
Individual users can be configured to have specific levels of security settings edited without affecting all users in an entire security role. This would be for individuals who need permission or restricted from certain things, whereas the rest of the users in the same security role do not. The user has the default security settings for their security role department, but editing security permissions for individual users allows you to select exceptions to some security fields just for this individual user only.
Select Control on the left sidebar menu.
Select Access Control from the top tab menu.
Search for the specific user from Access Control using various search methods available.
Once the specific user has been located, click Edit on their user (within the Options column).
After clicking Edit, the system takes you to the edit screen of their user details. Click Customize User Security hyperlink at the top right of the edit user screen.
The Individual Security settings screen for that user will open. Select any security settings to change (for this specific user) by using the drop-downs in any security permission setting. When finished changing any security settings for the specific user, scroll down to the bottom of the individual security edit screen. At the very bottom there is a text box field where you are required to type in the reason for the security permission change(s). You have to type something in here or it will not save your edits. Then, click the Update Individual Security button below that. System will then save these security settings for this individual user only. The changes done here for individual user do not affect the entire security role, just this individual user.

E-Chart
Limited Access: This permission controls user access to specific patients. A user has access to a patient either through a direct relationship (such as provider to patient or supervisor to employee), or through the department they belong to (such as the nursing department to a patient). The following settings are available:
- Yes: The user can access only the specific patients they have a direct relationship with. Relationships are defined in the setting Edit Patients Linked to User under Access Control > Edit User. If the Limited Access field is set to “Yes,” it overrides the Restrict Access By Partition setting, and partition restrictions are ignored.
- No: The user is not restricted to the relationships defined in Edit Patients Linked to User under Access Control > Edit User.
Restrict Access by Partition: Partitions are created in the Partition Manager to group information in WebChart (patients, documents, etc.). Restricted partitions are hidden from certain users. This field determines whether or not a user can see patients in restricted partitions. The following settings are available:
- Yes: The user can only access patients in unrestricted partitions or in restricted partitions to which their user or their department has access. Patients in hidden partitions do not display in search results and are not accessible. If the Limited Access field is set to “Yes,” the Limited Access setting overrides the Restrict Access By Partition setting, so partition restrictions are ignored.
- No: The user is not limited in the patients that they can see based on any partition restrictions.
Allow Emergency Access to Charts: In emergency situations, a user may need access to patient information that is normally restricted. This field determines if a user can access a patient that they do not normally have access to for a limited time (the amount of time is configurable under System Settings). If either of the fields Limited Access or Restrict Access by Partition are set to “Yes,” the Allow Emergency Access to Charts setting is used to search and access patients that are normally restricted to a user or department. Audit logs are stored for all patients accessed through this setting. Options:
- Yes: The user can view a restricted chart for a limited time after confirming that access is required for each patient that is requested.
- No: The user cannot access restricted patients.
Limited to Default Tab: This restricts users in a security role to only be able to view the tab/module that is set as the ‘selecting folder’ in My Settings for each user. A user will not be able to access any other tabs/modules.

Limited to Restricted Items: Setting to ‘No’ allows the user to access everything unless they (or dept) are specified to be restricted from a specific doc.type, document, chart tab, or encounter type. This also applies to adding documents, and Print definitions now.That is the default. Setting to ‘Yes’ limits the user from accessing no doc.types, documents, chart tabs, or encounter types. They (or dept) must be specifically “allowed” to a doc.type, chart tab, or encounter type in order to see it. This setting allows a user to be marked ‘restricted’ and only enable the certain things they should be able to see (doc.type, chart tab or encounter type, visit types).
Limit DOB: Restricts the user from viewing a patient’s DOB/Age Restricts in listviews and autocompletes, Document Queue, pocket mode, headers, etc.

Station Manager: If set to Yes, users can access the Station Manager tab in Checkin. This gives the permission for these users to add, edit, & delete check-in stations.
Chart Online: This is whether or not users in a role can mark a chart as online in WebChart . This is how you can manually mark charts online full, partial or none with comments outside of the scanning software.
Patient Merge inside Partition: Users can merge patients together inside of the partition that they are working in, such as MR or other partition that they are set to.
Patient Merge outside Partition: Users can merge patients together over multiple partitions, but not inside the partition they are in (unless above option is marked). This is crucial for some clients who have patients from multiple billing systems.

Additionally, only users with unlimited access will be able to run the Patient Observation report in the Reports module.
Manage Observation Flowsheets: If set to Yes, users can create new or edit existing flowsheets from any observations tab located in the patient’s chart. If set to No, the function button for create/edit flowsheets will not even display for the user to access. This security role option was depreciated in 2020 and replaced with the Manage Observation Definitions security role.
Manage Observation Definitions: None: Users will not have access to the Observations Code tab or Flowsheets as located under the Control Panel.

Allow Print Without Headers: Choose Yes or No. Users with yes permission will be given the checkmark box in the Print mode whether they want to print/fax the document with a patient summary header at the top of the document or not. The No permission will make the printing/faxing of any document for that user always have the patient summary header at the top of the document. They do not have an option.
Document Queue: This queue is for documents that come from an outside source such as Parkview, that need to be manually linked to a patient in WebChart . Users can then look at the documents and send them to the correct patient if WebChart could not figure it out (couldn’t merge).
- View: Can view the document queue tab to see what’s out there that needs to be merged. If have right set to view, the users will also see the # of Doc Queue documents pending & the link at the top left of the screen.

Unlock Sending Routes: This is mainly for MIE/Techsupport use and specific admins allowed to this function. In some cases of a coding error, routes can become ‘stuck’ in the ‘In Progress’ status as ‘sending’ status. This security allows MIE/Tech support (intended audience) to retry these stuck routes without reverting to a backend tool. This feature allows the unlocking of any ‘stuck’ route which has been stuck for more than an hour.
Chart Define Fax Number: Allows or denies access for users to setup fax numbers for faxing from WebChart .

- No: will not allow users in the security role to dismiss warnings at any level.
- Yes: will allow users in the security role to dismiss warnings for your viewing only and for that patient only.
- Dismiss for all Patients: Usually only the Physician has security rights to dismiss at this level. The physician can dismiss the warning for that specific patient only or also has the option to dismiss the specific warning for all patients for the physician’s view. If the physician dismisses a warning for “all patients’ they would only have to dismiss once and never see it generated again. We discourage this because it really defeats the purpose of showing warnings and affects all other patients and the warning won’t pop-up again for any patient.
- Dismiss for All Users: Usually only the Physician has security rights to dismiss at this level. The physician can dismiss the warning for that specific patient or all patients and dismiss it from view for all users.

Add Document to Locked Charts: If user has security as YES, the indexer can index documents into locked charts, but because the chart is locked, clicking on the links that normal indexing allows will not allow them to see the patient’s chart. Therefore, they must simply click the Upload to Chart button.
Manage Baselines: It allows users to add and edit Audiogram baseline data.
Send Email to Patient: Yes allows users to utilize the email link and feature in WebChart to email patients or email appointment reminders to patients from WebChart .
Manage VarTree Entries: Yes allows users to utilize the add new link to add new var-tree selection entries when in encounters and using the var-tree data entry method. If set to No, users will not see the add new link in a var-tree selection in encounters.
Allow setting of FAX From: If set to Yes (default is No) the user can choose the CSI value of a fax. The CSI value is the Call Station Identifier that is part of the FAX header - it is essentially the caller id of the FAX. If user is set to Yes permission, in the print chart module (fax mode) a drop-down field named From: will show and user can select from a drop-down of fax #’s to set the fax ‘from’ on the header that the recipient receives.
Allow Unrestricted Pat Search: This permission enables a user to search for (but not necessarily access) any patient, regardless of Limited Access or Partition Restriction settings. The following settings are available:
- Yes: The user can search for any patient, regardless of Limited Access or Partition Restriction settings.

This dispensing machine sends the messages to a different URL than SureScripts so that it goes to the machine instead. There is a new editor for setting up a machine like this so that it looks like a regular pharmacy that can be e-sent to and set as a patient’s preferred pharmacy. This security setting set to Yes would allow setting up those custom pharmacies for the dispensing machine.
