What might prevent the login box from appearing when I click the “View Patient Record” link?

Why do I need a user ID and password to access the clinical information for my referred patients?
A User ID and password are required to protect electronic patient information. MU Health Care is strongly committed to ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies governing access to patient information.
Why do the screens to access and view my patient information look different than the MU Health Care screens?
You are actually logging into and viewing your patient information through the Cerner website. Cerner is the vendor we use for our Electronic Medical Record to store patient information for MUHC.
Why does MU Health Care require the National Provider Identifier (NPI) number to access my patients’ electronic medical records (EMR)?
An NPI is required for all providers as of May 23, 2007, in all HIPAA standard transactions (Medicare and Medicaid reimbursed). MU Health Care must uniquely identify each provider, and their support staff, who access their patients' electronic medical records. The NPI uniquely identifies each provider and can be used to identify the support staff for that provider. MU Health Care is strongly committed to ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies governing access to patient information.
Why should I not send patient information via email?
HIPAA guidelines specifically dictate that no patient identifying information be provided in email correspondence unless the message is encrypted. Because we do not have a reliable encryption method available at this time, we ask that such information be communicated by fax or mail. MU Health Care is strongly committed to ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies governing access to patient information.
