Access to electronic charts is controlled through passwords. Different levels of access to an electronic chart is determined and assigned appropriately. Therefore, receptionists may have little access to such records while lab technicians may have access to diagnosis information.
Platinum EMR ™ prevents those unauthorized from gaining access. Firewalls and similar measures prevent most incursions, and PlatinumMD’s Platinum EMR ™ is a system far more secure than a series of physical records: there are even mechanisms in place to prevent electronic writing over patient records to thwart unauthorized alterations.
