Privacy Consent

Consent status can be configured on up to three different levels: An enterprise policy applies to the combination of a single enterprise and a single external system. This policy provides the consent default for all patients of that enterprise when their data is being shared with that external system. Each enterprise policy can include practice overrides that establish a different consent default for a given practice. Each patient can optionally have a patient override that takes precedence over both the enterprise consent default and the practice default. Note: The practice default takes precedence over the enterprise default, and the patient override takes precedence over both enterprise and practice defaults. WhenEnterprise Chartis enabled for the enterprise, and the patient is configured as an enterprise patient, any practice overrides are ignored. If there is a patient override, that determines the patient consent. If there is no patient override, the enterprise consent default is
