Please be advised we are aware of a problem preventing payment reports from returning to Gentu for all claim types, despite payment being received external to Gentu. We are working on resolving this as a matter of priority. Thank you for your patience.

Restrict Patient Records

  • Updated

In this article:

Restrict Records allows you to set individual clinical items in a patient record as locked to only allow access for the user that locked the record.

 

Restricted Records

You may wish to restrict sensitive patient information so only certain people can view the record.

Once a record is locked, anyone who doesn't have access will see the following image.

Note: Any clinical records that have been restricted will not print out with the complete record. If you wish to print restricted records, you will need to unrestrict the record first.

  6. Only the user that locked the record and Administrators will be able to view and access the locked record.

Administrators

The Administrator user role has access to all areas of Gentu by default.

The Administrator will have access to all locked clinical records as well as the ability to unlock any locked records. This includes records locked by other users.

Please note it is not possible to disable permissions for a user in the Administrator user role. If you wish to restrict this user's permissions, you should instead change them to a different user role.

 

FAQ

> Why can't I lock a Patient Record?

You may not yet have the appropriate permissions to do so, speak to your Administrator to have the 'Data Privacy - Restrict Records' option activated for your role.

 

> I cannot see the Manage Roles link. How do I change role permissions?

If you cannot see the Manage Roles link in Settings, it means you do not have permission to access this area of the app. Please speak to your Administrator so they can make the appropriate changes.
