SystmOne online services accounts (SystmOnline and Airmid)
This section of the Online Services Registration dialog allows you to grant access to online services for another patient registered at your organisation. You might, for example want to grant a father proxy access to online services for his young son. The person accessing online services for the other patient is known as the proxy user.
When the proxy user logs on to their own online account, they will be prompted to select the patient for whom they want to access online services.
To grant proxy access to online services for another patient:
1. Click Allow this Online User to Access a Patient's Account. The Patients dialog is displayed, allowing you to search for the relevant patient.
2. Select the patient from the list displayed and click Select. A new 'Services [Patient name]' section is displayed below the 'Username and Password' section on the Register for Online Services dialog.
3. Select the services you want the proxy user to be able to access on behalf of the patient. This means that the person with proxy access can use services that are different from those that are available to the patient. For example, the patient might be able to book appointments and order medication but the proxy user can be set up to only be able to order medication. Note: If the proxy user is granted access to view the patient's detailed record, a detailed record start date must have been set on the patient's own online account.
4. Select the relationship the proxy user has to the patient and click Ok. For example, if you are registering a father who requires proxy access for his young son (the son was selected at Step 2), select 'Family > Parents > Father'. Note: If the relevant relationship has already been added to the patient record, this will be displayed automatically.
5. Record the legal basis for granting this patient proxy access to online services for the other patient:
a. Patient consent (verbal) or Patient consent (written) – no further information is required.
b. Parental responsibility – record supporting documentation, vouching information or whether supporting information has been previously recorded
c. Patient lacks capacity – court order – no further information is required.
d. Patient lacks capacity – power of attorney – no further information is required.
e. Patient lacks capacity – patient's best interests – record which staff member has authorised this. The staff member must have a clear appreciation and understanding of the facts, implications and future consequences in line with the Mental Capacity Act, before agreeing this access.
6. Click Ok to return to the Online Services view in the patient record.
7. Save the patient record.
You will need to inform the proxy user that they will need to change their password when they first log on.
