Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • The scheduled clinician differs from the person acting. Resolve the actual user and clinician identity before the action proceeds.
  • A consent summary is used in place of the relevant signed purpose. Check the applicable consent record and its dates.
  • Arrival is treated as permission to access clinical content. Admission must preserve each role's clinical information boundaries.
