Provider Portal

Summary

This enhancement to Provider Portal enhances security of Single Sign-On (SSO) with Epic EMR systems by embedding the accession number as part of the encrypted connection string.

Background

Currently, when using Epic SSO, RIS supports the ability to accept a URL with the accession as part of the URL and the expiration date value as part of the encrypted string.

Feature Description

With this change, the Epic SSO connection string sent to RIS will support including the accession number as part of the encrypted string.

RIS may now be configured to accept a modified version of the EMR URL:

"/pls/{emr_cypher_code}/?p={encrypted string}"

This change supports a structured version of the encryption string:

"{"Expiry":"{expiry_Date}", "username":"{user_name}", "Accession":"{accession#}"}"

Note that the legacy configuration is still supported:

"/pls/{emr_cypher_code}/f?p=P101_Accession,P101_KEY:{accession#},{encrypted string}"

Service Team Upgrade Instructions

The Service Team must complete the following actions to deploy this feature:

Third-Party Epic System Configuration

Update the URL format within epic to:

"/pls/{emr_cypher_code}/?p={encrypted string}"

Using a structured version of the encryption string:

"{"Expiry":"{expiry_Date}", "username":"{user_name}", "Accession":"{accession#}"}"

Configuration Instructions

Service Team assistance is required to enable this feature.
