Reminder - Use Diagnotes to communicate and protect PHI

Cerner users are reminded to use only Diagnotes for any communications that may include Protected Health Information (PHI), including photographs and/or videos.

IU Health-approved Diagnotes uses secure end-to-end encryption to protect PHI and is the secure replacement for pagers and text messaging.

If you use Cerner, you have access to Diagnotes:

• Download the Diagnotes|Clinican app from the App Store or Google Play by searching “Diagnotes.”
• Once you download the app, use your Cerner username (user@iuhealth.org) and password to log in.

Please see the Diagnotes User Guide on the IS Clinical Education site for help and/or reach out to your Clinical Informatics representative.
