Encounter Notification Services (ENS)
Keeping You Connected To Your Patients
You can receive notices for patients with whom you have a current doctor-patient relationship, and when your role makes it generally appropriate to be informed about a hospitalization.
Patients have the right to opt-out of notifications and other CRISP services. While only a small percentage of people typically choose not to participate, it is important that patients are given the opportunity and information to make that choice. Your practice will need to identify participation in the health information exchange in your Notice of Privacy Practices and keep information on hand to provide to patients who may want to opt-out.
CRISP receives information from hospitals in near real-time and will send notifications within moments of an encounter being recorded in the hospital’s own electronic medical record.
At this time CRISP cannot send clinical information with your notification. You can log into the CRISP portal for additional information pertaining to the hospitalization.
Notifications are delivered directly to the ENS PROMPT Application. Users with access to their ENS Panel can login to the CRISP Portal and open the PROMPT application to view or download notifications for their patients. View the ENS PROMPT webpage for more information.
