User Roles, Features, and Functions

  • Updated

There are three main items that provision user permissions with the Kipu EMR: Roles, Features, and Functions. These features can work in conjunction to provide the right level of access and oversight to your user base. 

  • Roles: Each user must be assigned at least one role. Roles are the primary driver of user access.
  • Features: Features allow you to provide additional access or permissions to a user that isn't already included in their role(s). Some features will also restrict access to ensure oversight can be provided.  
  • Functions: Functions determine which users can view, complete, and sign Evaluation forms and the Flags the user can assign to patients.

Roles

There are a few categories of roles available in the Kipu EMR. 

  • Internal roles: Designed for the staff members that work in your facility.
  • Special Roles: These are additional roles that are available for organizations using Labs, Outcomes, Kipu Messenger, VOBGetter, Enterprise Billing, Kipu Portal, and/or CRM.
  • External Roles: These roles are for external providers that perform services for your facility or for features that allow digital displays like Queues or Occupancy.

Features

Each user role includes a suite of features; if the feature that you require for a user or group of users is not included in the role selected, you may add features from the column on the right side of the page.
