Record Info Tab

The Record Info tab displays detailed information about the record you are viewing. While the Detail tab displays a summary of all the information the record contains, the Record Info tab displays information about the record itself, including the source from where the record was retrieved and the system where the record was originally created.

Note: A record's information source may differ from its original source. For instance, if your care provider enters a new medication record for you in their computer system and then you use Sunrise Patient Portal™ to copy the record into your personal health record. When you view your list of medications, the record is displayed as though it was retrieved from Microsoft® HealthVault™, even though the record was originally created in your care provider’s computer system.

The Record Info tab also includes a table that displays a history of the record, including information about when the record was created and when it was last modified, if applicable. This information includes the application the record was created in, the user who created the record, and the date and time the creation or modification took place.
