Hi,
I want to create an UI, a signup page, for patients, where anonymous users can register themselves as patient. My question is, is there any UI already created for add-new-patient for anonymous user? or I need to develop a custom code for this issue in my case.
I know that there is an UI for admin users to add new patient. But, I want a very simple UI for anonymous user with just three fields
– Patient full name
– Email id
– Password
If the practice is outside of the U.S., consider adding new patients via the Patient Portal. Code modification should render the 3 fields.
Due to the complexity of securing OpenEMR and the serious ramifications of any breach of HIPAA, enabling Patient Portal in the U.S. can place the practice in dire legal peril.
Make a User: Anonymous PW: Unknown… there you go, but I it dangerous if you give this anonymous user incorrect permissions. These can fine tuned through GACL-etc. permissions…
I have seen many crashes inthe Demo sides, so be carefull with this approach.
Even if there are no HIPAA issues it is a bad idea to let unrestricted data entry. As an example, currently there is no facility to tag if someone enters another patient called “Bikash Barman”. Without a proper review, imagine the chaos.
I believe every person that wants to use the services of a facility would first make contact with the facility either by personal visit or telephone. At this point the person can be given a tentative username and password to enable him/her use the Patient Portal to complete the registration. This would avoid need for a “dangerous” anonymous user.
