Privacy & SecurityUpdated 2024-03-18
Staff Permissions
Precision Security Controls
In a high-trust clinical environment, security is not about lack of trust; it's about protecting your staff from accidental data exposure and your clinic from legal liability.
Permission Categories
Permissions are grouped into logical "Control Domains":
- Clinical Records: View, Edit, or Delete clinical notes/charts.
- Financial Data: Access to invoices, reports, and tax settings.
- Patient Privacy: Ability to see full phone numbers or export patient lists.
- Administrative: Inviting other staff, changing clinic settings, or deleting branches.
Override Capabilities
While Roles (like "Receptionist") provide a template, you can apply Individual Overrides:
- Example: You have a Head Receptionist who needs access to the Daily Collection Report but not the Full Year P&L. You can toggle just that specific permission for their account.
The "Four-Eyes" Principle
For critical actions (like deleting a finalized invoice or purging a patient record), you can enable "Super-Admin Approval Required". This ensures no single person can delete sensitive data without a second authorized signature.
Temporary Access
Visiting consultants or locum doctors can be given "Expiring Access".
- Set a start and end date.
- Once the date passes, their login credentials are automatically revoked by the system.
IP & Device Bonding
For extremely sensitive clinics:
- IP Whitelisting: Staff can only log into Alphatic if they are on the clinic's secure Wi-Fi.
- Device Binding: The system recognizes the specific hardware ID of the clinic computers, blocking logins from home or mobile devices.
