A share link lets a patient see a read-only summary of their record without creating an account. Links are signed (HMAC-SHA256), time-limited, and every view is logged.
How to issue one
- 1Open the patient chart and click the Share tab.
- 2Click “Issue new link”.
- 3Set the expiry. Default is 7 days; the longest is 90 days.
- 4Optionally require a one-time passcode sent by SMS.
- 5Click Generate. The signed URL appears in a copy box.
What the patient sees
- Patient name, age, and demographics.
- Active conditions and ICD-11 codes.
- A read-only visit summary.
- Encounter notes you have explicitly included.
- A photo gallery, if you attach one.
What the patient does not see
- Internal notes marked “clinician-only”.
- Audit log and view history.
- AI confidence scores (we only show the differential you accepted).
The URL contains the token id and the secret separated by a dot. Treat the full URL like a password — anyone with it can view the record until it expires.
