Security Filtering Preferences

Depending on the preferences established in Harvest, Harvest Webstation filters results, determining what results you may or may not view. See Configuring Harvest Webstation: Modifying Program Preferences for more information on establishing preferences. These settings also affect how web security functions. See Security Filtering in Harvest Webstation for more information on establishing security settings.

The following preferences may be established in Harvest:

Looking up Patient Orders

Restrict based on patient's location: With this option enabled, a Harvest Webstation user will only be able to access patient records when the patient’s linked location is in the user’s Web Location Group. All other records are considered inaccessible.

Listing Completed Orders/Orders in Progress

Show orders for providers in personnel group: This option only applies when Harvest Webstation users view lists of completed orders or orders in progress.
Enable this option to allow Harvest Webstation users to see completed orders or orders in progress for all providers in their Web Personnel Group, rather than just orders for which they are the ordering provider.

If restricting on the ordering provider (see above), only those orders placed by a provider in a Harvest Webstation user's Web Personnel Group are accessible.

When this option is enabled, non-providers may access completed orders for their Web Personnel Group via the Completed Results page in Harvest Webstation to mark the orders as reviewed, even if they are not the patient's primary provider or a CC Report recipient.

IMPORTANT: Non-providers are not able to mark the same results as reviewed if they access the order by performing a search for the patient. Primary providers or CC Report recipients may mark the orders as reviewed, regardless of how they accessed the results.
Show orders for Draw Locations in loc group: This option only applies when Harvest Webstation users view lists of completed orders or orders in progress.
Enable this option to allow Harvest Webstation users to see completed orders or orders in progress for all draw locations in their Web Location Group, rather than just orders for which they are the ordering provider.

Listing Unreleased Orders

Enable this option to allow Harvest Webstation users to view all of the unreleased orders they have placed, as well as all of the unreleased orders entered by other techs for providers in their Web Personnel Group. If this is not enabled, Harvest Webstation users may only view the unreleased orders they placed themselves.

This allows users to edit unreleased orders for other ordering techs who are at the same location and who are assigned to the same Web Personnel Group. That is, users who need to update their colleagues’ orders should be able to see all of the orders their colleagues entered, if they are in the same Web Personnel Group.
Show orders for Draw Locations in loc group:This option only applies when Harvest Webstation users view lists of unreleased orders.
Enable this option to allow Harvest Webstation users to view all of the unreleased orders they have placed, as well as all of the unreleased orders with draw locations in their Web Location Group.

Show orders for Order Locations in loc group:This option only applies when Harvest Webstation users view lists of unreleased orders.
Enable this option to allow Harvest Webstation users to view all of the unreleased orders they have placed, as well as all of the unreleased orders with order locations in their Web Location Group.

SSL Security

Enable the Reject unsecured requests preference to reject requests that are not sent on a secure connection. Requests that begin with "https://" instead of "http://" are using SSL and are secure.

If this preference is checked and a non-secure connection is detected, a page appears in Harvest Webstation that says, "You must use a secure connection to access Harvest Webstation. Contact your Harvest Webstation administrator for more information." It also provides a link to the secure site. If no secure site is available, this link will not work.
