To support multi-facility access, which combination of steps is recommended?

• A. Assign facility-level permissions, ensure access to required facilities, and configure facility defaults.
• B. Create a single global permission that applies to all facilities.
• C. Remove all facility restrictions to simplify access.
• D. Enable automatic password rotation for all users.

Answer: (A)

Multi-facility access is about controlling where a user can work, in a way that is precise and auditable. The best approach is to assign permissions that are scoped to each facility, ensuring the user has access only to the specific facilities they need. Coupling this with verifying access to all required facilities guarantees the user can perform tasks at every location they’re assigned to, without being blocked by missing permissions. Configuring facility defaults makes workflows predictable—for example, automatically using the intended facility for new encounters or chart entries—reducing errors and aligning data visibility with where the user actually operates. This approach keeps access tight and auditable while supporting smooth cross-site work. In contrast, a single global permission would grant access to all facilities, increasing risk. Removing facility restrictions eliminates essential security controls, and automatic password rotation, while good hygiene, doesn’t address which facilities a user can access.
