  • Automatic Note Routing with Communication Management - (Handout) To help increase communication between providers, Epic will automatically route communications, including certain note types (excluding psychiatry), to PCPs, referring providers and the patient’s care team, including external providers. Based on the recipient’s preference, communications will automatically send to their In Basket, fax, or print to a department defined printer to be mailed. Communication Management will function differently between Inpatient and Outpatient encounters.
  • Marking a Note as Sensitive - (Handout) Patient records, including notes, can be shared externally. Clinicians, at the request of the patient, or when they deem it necessary, can mark a note as ‘Sensitive.’ Marking the note as ‘Sensitive’ will prevent the note from being viewed by outside healthcare entities. Sensitive notes will still be viewable in Epic to end users at UIHC and to the patient in My Chart.
  • Marking a Visit as Sensitive - (Handout) Marking a visit as “Sensitive” will prevent the visit-level documentation from being shared with outside entities. The documentation will not be available through the Iowa Health Information Network (IHIN), Care Everywhere, UI CareLink, or Comm Management, but will be viewable to the patient in MyChart. This functionality is only available for outpatient visits.
  • Psych Patient Lists & Waiting Area - (Handout) Provides step-by-step instructions for accessing the Psych patient lists and approving patients from the waiting area to a Psych unit. Includes scenarios and tips for having a patient placed on the Psych patient lists.
  • Sequestered Notes (Psychiatry Only) - (Handout) Currently users are able to mark an encounter or note as sensitive. When marked as sensitive these notes or visits will not be shared with external entities (via Communication Management, UI CareLink, Care Everywhere, etc.). Sequestered Notes are a subset of sensitive notes. By default, these notes will not be available to other providers and other end users at UIHC (not viewable internally). If granted access, requesters will receive permissions to view the note directly from the HIM Department.
