Patient Audit - Email an Event Summary

Modified on Mon, Apr 8, 2024 at 4:08 PM

Emailing Event Summaries

You can email an Event Summary in plain text to anyone. Remember that an Event Summary contains PHI data, so it is recommended to only send these emails to people who can view this PHI and to send on a PHI-compliant messaging system.

You will see a PHI-compliant reminder when you hover over the option to send the email. A reminder also exists in the body of the email so everyone is aware before sending the event summary that it contains PHI.

Character Limit

There is a character limit of 2,037 to send Event Summaries via email. This character limit is approximately 8 Events per Event Summary. You will receive a warning if event summaries contain more characters than the limit.

This requires specific permissions!

The Email Summary feature is enabled in your Hospital Settings by Support. If this feature is enabled for your hospital, all Full Access security role users will automatically receive the permission. You can add permissions for other users in Security Roles from the Manage tab.

Best Practice Tips

2. There is a character limit of 2,037 for the email feature to work. This character limit is approximately 8 events per event summary. If event summaries contain more characters than the limit a message displays saying the event summary is too long.

3. If this feature is enabled for your hospital, all Full Access security role users will automatically receive the

permission.
