Creating a New Request : EHI Export

EHI Export: Overview

You can create two types of export requests: Individual and Bulk. An individual export allows you to export the data associated with a patient. A practice export will export all the patient and document data in your account. Exports are available for download for 30 days once completed. After 30 days (from the date a request has finished processing and is available for download), the request will move to the Archived tab. You will still be able to view the details of the request once it is archived, but the downloadable files will be permanently deleted and no longer available.

How to enable the EHI Export permission?

Account > Staff Permissions > Provider / Staff tab > View > Edit Permission , then choose the applicable permission(s) > Save.

  • Single Patient EHI Export
  • Bulk Patient EHI Export

How can I cancel an export?

Only single patient exports can be canceled, not bulk exports.

  • The user can cancel an export in progress by clicking on the “Red X” icon under the Actions Column located in the Active Export screen. This will stop the generation of any remaining export files, remove any export files that were generated and change the status of the export to Cancelled.

How can I track EHI exports?

The audit log will capture all activity including cases where DrChrono support has to access a user's account.

    • Username, Date/Time, Export Type, Patient Selected (if applicable), EHI Selected to include in the report.

    • Status of the EHI Export List as queued, in process or completed.

    • User who initiated the EHI Data Export.

    • Patient ID of the patient’s record.

    • Patient Name.

    • Patient’s DOB.

    • Export Link as provided to download the EHI data export.

  • In addition, based on the log type selected (Single Patient Export vs All Patient Export), the audit log will capture the following action types and details.
