Privacy is crucial when you are storing personal information and sensitive clinical records in a patient's profile. Patients can be set to private mode, allowing only the practitioners who are treating a patient - or given shared access - to view the patient's profile, find them in the Patient List, and select them for appointments.

When a patient is on private mode, their name is anonymised on Halaxy for other users without access (such as on reports).

Restrict access to a patient

1. Open the patient's profile.

2. Under the Practitioner Access & Privacy section, click Edit.

   

3. At the top of the pop-up, toggle the switch Private mode.

4. Click Save.

This patient can now be accessed only by practitioners listed in the Practitioner Relationships & Privacy section. This is indicated by a lock icon on the patient's profile.
