Your information

The information available for you to view through Cerner Patient Portal is not a comprehensive view of all the data in your Provider's EMR. Your interactions with Cerner Patient Portal (such as secure messaging, scheduling and completing questionnaires) are interactions with your Provider. You agree not to post or transmit any information through Cerner Patient Portal that infringes the rights of others or violates their privacy or publicity rights, in particular (without limitation) you must not post or transmit material which is of a bullying, harassing or discriminatory nature. 

Maintaining another person's connection

If you are legally authorized to view another person's health information, their Provider may give you access to Cerner Patient Portal for that person, subject to these Terms. Various federal and state regulations prohibit sharing certain categories of sensitive information with anyone other than the patient. Many such regulations prohibit sharing sensitive information about minors over the age of 13 with their parents or legal guardians. As such, the Provider may restrict your access to the other person's sensitive information and not make it available to you through Cerner Patient Portal.

Proxy use of Cerner Patient Portal

You may also authorize a proxy(ies) to view and interact with Cerner Patient Portal based on the specific privileges you've assigned. You may authorize any person who qualifies for a Cerner Patient Portal connection, including a minor, to be a proxy. If you have agreed to allow a minor to be a proxy, you agree that you shall be solely responsible for: (a) acceptance of these Terms on the minor's behalf, (b) the minor's compliance with these Terms, (c) the on-line conduct of such minor; (d) monitoring such minor's access to and use of Cerner Patient Portal; and (e) the consequences of such minor's use. Access or privileges you give to someone can be modified or removed by you at any time, for any reason.
