What access type field should be used in a user template for limited patient access?

The correct choice for a user template that provides limited patient access is the "Managed" access type field. This designation is specifically designed to control and restrict the amount of information a user can see within the EpicCare Link system. By using the "Managed" access type, you ensure that users have access only to the patient data necessary for their roles, often aligning with compliance and privacy regulations. This controlled access helps to safeguard sensitive patient information while still allowing certain functionalities for the users involved in patient care.

In contrast, other access types, such as "Open" would allow broader visibility into patient data, which is not suitable for instances where limited access is required. "Restricted" is generally associated with very tight control but does not imply the specific managed approach to user access that is intended here. "General" typically permits more general access levels and is not suitable for users who require limited exposure to patient information. Therefore, "Managed" is the most appropriate choice for ensuring that user access remains limited and focused.
