Some log entries are automatically generated for an incident. When you choose to share an incident with your health system, region, or Juvare Exchange, certain automatic log entries are visible for or sent to the sharing entities. However, you can choose whether to share manually created log entries.
During an incident, you can manually add entries such as Major Event, Decision Made, Notification, Other/Misc, Process Improvement, Safety Briefing, and Situational Update to the Event Log.
A link appears in the Edits column for entries you can edit. When an entry has been shared, it is no longer possible to edit the entry; however, you can share the entry more widely if needed. If changes have been made to the entry since it was created, a History link is displayed that allows you to review the changes.
Additionally, you can comment on any type of entry to add information about issues, questions, or suggestions that occur related to an entry. Comments on log entries are not shared with Juvare Exchange.
