Med Access: How to Send Encounters to Alberta Netcare

Med Access Data Mapping

1. Data that Maps to Alberta Netcare CED and the Healthcare Data Repository

   In the CII project, there are two places that information will be pulled to within Alberta Health:

   Alberta Netcare (CED) and Healthcare Data Repository- Information is securely shared with other providers can see this information as it is published in the CII Community Encounter Digest (CED) report and copied to the Healthcare Data Repository.

   Healthcare Data Repository- Information uploaded to the Health Care Data Repository is not visible or published. 

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

2. Conditions that allow for Encounter information to flow to the CED in Alberta Netcare

   Med Access determines if a visit note is valid to submit to CII if the visit note is:

   • Attached to a provider who is live on CII
   • NOT marked private
   • In a patient’s chart that is NOT marked as private
   • Signed-off and closed

   Additional details are available in the Med Access CII/CPAR EMR User Guide

3. Keeping Encounters Confidential

   You can prevent health information entered into a mapped field from being sent to Alberta Netcare by making patient data private or confidential:

   1. Make an entire patient's chart confidential. In the patient’s ‘Demog’ tab, check off the Confidential check box.
   2. Make an encounter note confidential. Choose Confidential from the visit Menu.
   3. Make selected chart items (e.g. allergies, prescriptions) confidential. Choose Confidential from the item Menu
