What does "Error: Existing EMR User Account Linkage Detected" mean?

Background

For privacy, security, and auditing purposes, any individual that requires access to Ocean must have their own Ocean user account.

For Ocean Sites that are integrated with an EMR, individuals must perform a one-time linkage of their Ocean user account to their respective EMR user account to support Single Sign-On (SSO) and the ability to launch into Ocean from the EMR (e.g., when sending a Patient Message, or initiating an eReferral).

For example, the user account for "John Smith" in the EMR must be linked to John Smith's individual Ocean user account.

Recognizing that individuals may be a user on more than one Ocean Site which use different EMRs (e.g., an independent practice and a specialty clinic), Ocean supports the ability to establish and maintain multiple linkages between a single Ocean user account and different EMR user accounts at different Ocean Sites.

This ensures that Ocean "remembers" the unique Ocean User-to-EMR User Account relationship for SSO and eliminates the need for an individual to have multiple Ocean user accounts.

Issue

When you attempt to link an EMR user account to your Ocean user account, Ocean checks to see if there is already an EMR user account linked to your Ocean user account for the Ocean Site that you launched into.

  • If an existing account linkage is not found, you can proceed without issue.
  • If an existing account linkage is found, you will receive a message stating: 'Error: Existing EMR User Account Linkage Detected'.

If you received this error message, consult the 'Steps to Take' section below.

Steps to Take

Since Ocean does not have the ability to determine if the correct EMR user account has been linked to the Ocean user account (e.g., that the "John Smith" EMR user account has been linked to John Smith's respective Ocean user account), you must manually verify the following items:

1. Verify your EMR user account

Within your EMR, verify that you are properly logged in to your own individual EMR user account.

If you are not logged in to your own individual EMR user account, log out of your EMR and log back in using your own EMR user account credentials, and then retry linking your accounts.

If you have confirmed that you are logged in to your own EMR user account but continue to experience the error, proceed to Step 2 below.

2. Verify your Ocean user account

Verify that you are logging in to Ocean using your own individual Ocean user account credentials.

Reminder: Ocean does not support "shared" user accounts. Any individual that requires access to Ocean must have their own Ocean user account for privacy, security, and auditing purposes.

If you have confirmed that you are logged in to your own EMR user account and that you are logging in to Ocean using your own individual Ocean user account credentials, proceed to Step 3 below.

3. Verify existing EMR user account linkages for your Ocean user account

  • Click your name in the top right corner and select 'My Account'.
  • Scroll down to the 'Linked EMR Users' section of the page and review the EMR user account(s) that is/are linked to your Ocean user account.
  • If you find any improper EMR user account linkages, remove it by clicking the 'Remove' button.
  • Click 'Save Changes'.

  • Once any improper EMR user account linkages have been removed, retry linking your EMR user account to your Ocean user account (e.g., when sending a Patient Message, or initiating an eReferral).

    If the error message persists, please contact the OceanMD Support team for assistance.

EMR Username Formats

The format of the EMR user account displayed under the 'EMR Username' column can vary depending on the integrated EMR system:

  • PS Suite: EMR Usernames are formatted as: [First Name] [Surname]
  • Med Access: EMR Usernames are formatted as: [First Name] [Surname]
  • OSCAR Pro: EMR Usernames are formatted as: [Surname], [First Name]
  • Accuro: EMR Usernames are represented by a numeric user ID value.
    • For assistance in determining the EMR user account that corresponds to a numeric user ID value in Accuro, please contact QHR Client Services (support@QHRtech.com).

Managing Your Clinician Information & Clinic Locations

What are they?

Clinician Information

The term 'Clinician Information' refers to your specific Billing Number, Professional ID, and Signature.

These three pieces of information are saved within your Ocean user account, and are always included in any of your sent eRequests, regardless of the Ocean Site that the request is originating from. For Ocean Sites that also have a Directory Listing(s) to receive referrals, it should be noted these pieces of user-specific information are stored and maintained independently from the information in the Directory Listing(s).

Clinic Locations

  • When an Ocean eRequest is sent, the 'Referrer's Information' section contains details about the referring provider, including the address and contact information of the physical location that the referral was sent from. However, clinicians often operate out of more than one physical location.

Ocean offers a way to store these various sets of clinic information through the use of 'Clinic Locations', which can subsequently be selected to populate the 'Referrer's Information' section when sending an eRequest.

Clinic Locations are created and saved within the Ocean user account, which allows for a single Ocean user account to be used across multiple Ocean sites, while still offering the ability to choose the relevant clinic information within any sent eRequests.

Managing Clinician Information & Clinic Locations

Clinician Information

Note: Your Clinician Information details are typically populated automatically using details from your EMR user account upon sending your first eRequest.

  • After logging in to the Ocean Portal, click your name in the top right corner, and select 'My Account'.
  • Select 'Edit Clinical Contact Information' at the top.
  • Enter your 'Clinician Information' if you haven't already. These are your clinician-specific details that will always be included in any of your sent eRequests, regardless of the Ocean Site that the request is sent from.
  • Press 'Save'.

Adding a New Clinic Location

  • In the 'Clinic Locations' section, click 'Add Location'.

  • Choose if you would like to create a Clinic Location using information from an existing Directory Listing on your Ocean Site(s), or if you would like to enter the information manually.

    Note: You can only create one Clinic Location using manual entry. Additional Clinic Locations must be created using information from an existing Directory Listing.

    Clinical Contact Information saved in Ocean user accounts prior to December 7th 2023 has been automatically migrated and saved as the account's single manually-entered Clinic Location.

  • If you chose 'Select from Directory Listing(s)', select your Ocean Site (if applicable) and desired Directory Listing source.

    Note: Directory Listing information cannot be updated from this area. Your Ocean Site Admin(s) can update your Directory Listing information.

  • If you chose 'Enter manually', enter the relevant Location information into each field.

  • To save your new Clinic Location within your user account, click 'Save'.

    Alternatively, to save your new Clinic Location within your user account and make this the default Clinic Location when sending from your current Ocean Site, click 'Save & Make Default'.

  • Your new Clinic Location will be saved in your Ocean user account.

    If you saved this as your default location for your Ocean Site, this is denoted using the '(site default)' tag.

    Note: If you saved your manually-entered location as a site default, its respective '(site default)' tag will only appear when you are currently signed in under the same Ocean Site that you used when setting it as a site default.

  • Once multiple Clinic Locations are saved in your Ocean user account, a new Clinic Locations dropdown menu will appear in the Referrer's Information section if there is more than one Clinic Location established for your current Ocean Site. Use this dropdown menu to select and include the appropriate location information for the eRequest being sent.

    Depending on the Ocean Site that you are currently signed in to, the address and contact information for the Clinic Location set as your '(site default)' will be automatically populated.

    If there is only one Clinic Location set in your Ocean user account for your current Ocean Site, the dropdown will not appear, and your single Clinic Location details will be automatically populated.

    If there is/are no Clinic Location(s) set in your Ocean user account for your current Ocean Site, the dropdown will not appear, and your single manually-entered Clinic Location details will be automatically populated.

Modifying or Removing a Clinic Location

  • Your Clinic Location(s) can be updated at any time by clicking the 'Edit' button.

    Reminder: Only Ocean Site Admins can edit Directory Listing information, which is used to populate Clinic Location details.

  • Your can remove a Clinic Location at any time by clicking 'Remove Location From User Profile' while editing it.

Changing your Site Default Clinic Location

  • To update the default Clinic Location for your current Ocean Site, edit the Clinic Location that you would like to designate as your default, and select 'Save & Make Default'.

How can I enforce Two-Factor Authentication for all users on my Ocean site?

Two-Factor Authentication is a feature that provides an additional level of security for Ocean users. As an Ocean Site Administrator, you have the ability to enforce Two-Factor Authentication for all users on your Ocean Site.

To set Two-Factor Authentication as mandatory for your Ocean Site:

    • Log in to the Ocean portal, and select Menu and then Admin.
    • Set the Two Factor Authentication feature to "Mandatory for all users".

      Note: In order to set Two-Factor Authentication as mandatory for all users on your Ocean site, you must first ensure that all pre-existing Ocean users on your Ocean site have Two-Factor Authentication enabled on their own individual user accounts. Please see below for more information on how to manage individual user compliance.

Managing Individual User Compliance

Before you can set Two-Factor Authentication as mandatory for all users on your Ocean site, all pre-existing users must first enable Two-Factor Authentication on their own Ocean user account. This is most easily done by running a Two-Factor Authentication Compliance Report. The "2FA Configured" column in the report indicates if the user has Two-Factor Authentication enabled or not. For users who do not have it enabled, you can instruct them to Enable Two-Factor Authentication for their Ocean user account.

Once all pre-existing users have enabled Two Factor Authentication, you can then set it as mandatory for your Ocean site so that all newly invited users will be forced to configure Two-Factor Authentication before they can successfully join your Ocean site.

Alternatively, you can remove non-compliant individuals from your Ocean Site within the Users area, then set Two-Factor Authentication as mandatory for your Ocean site, and then re-invite the removed users so that they are forced to enable Two-Factor Authentication upon rejoining your Ocean site.

Newly Invited Ocean Users

Once Two-Factor Authentication has been set as mandatory for your Ocean site, newly invited users who do not have Two-Factor Authentication enabled will be prompted to enable it before they can join your Ocean site.

  • Upon accepting the invitation, users will see a message indicating that the Ocean site they are joining requires Two-Factor Authentication, and be instructed to download an authenticator application before proceeding.
  • Users are then presented with a QR code to scan with their authenticator application. They can then enter their Ocean user account password, and the 6-digit code provided by the authenticator application. Pressing Enable & Join Site enables Two-Factor Authentication for their user account, and allows them to join the Ocean site.

Single Sign-On Implications for Integrated EMRs

When users access Ocean through a Single Sign-On launch from their EMR or point-of-service system (using SMART on FHIR), it replaces the Two-Factor Authentication requirement.

As part of setting up Ocean, users perform a one-time linkage between their Ocean user account and their EMR user account (i.e., when initiating a Patient Message or initiating an eReferral) to facilitate Single Sign-on.

At the time of establishing the linkage between the EMR user account and the Ocean user account, the user will be required to enter the authorization code generated by their authentication application.

Note: If the user has previously logged in directly to the Ocean Portal using the same browser and device that is now being used to establish the linkage between the EMR user account and the Ocean user account, and the user enabled the 'Trust this device for 30 days' checkbox during a previous log in, they will not be prompted to enter the authorization code generated by their authentication application.

Once the linkage between the EMR user account and the Ocean user account has been successfully established, the user will never be required to enter an authentication code when launching from the EMR directly into Ocean.

Accessing the My Account Page in User Settings

Users can access the My Account page to customize their Ocean user account and billing settings.

  • The My Account page can be accessed by clicking your name at the top right-hand corner of the Ocean Portal. This will open the Account Menu. Select "My Account" or jump directly to the Billing or Delegates pages.

Ontario Users: How to Sign In to Ocean with ONE ID

ONE ID can now be used to securely access Ocean. Ontario users with a ONE ID User ID have the option to quickly and easily link it with their Ocean user account within Ocean. This will enable the added convenience of using the secure identity credential, which they already rely on for accessing many of Ontario's digital health services, to access the Ontario eReferral Network, Ocean's Portal and Patient Engagement tools.

This is an optional set up for signing in to Ocean. To establish the link between your ONE ID User ID and Ocean User account, you can follow the steps below:

    • This will redirect you to eHealth Ontario's Account Provider page. Ensure ONE ID is selected and choose Next.
    • Enter your ONE ID Login and Password.
    • Once you have signed in with ONE ID, you will be taken back to the Ocean login page, to complete a one time sign in to your Ocean account. Enter your Ocean username and password and select Secure Sign In.
    • Once signed in to the Ocean Portal, select your Ocean user name in the top right, and select My Account. You will see an Id populated in the ONE ID User Id section of your account information, confirming that the link to your ONE ID has been established.

After establishing the connection to ONE ID, the next time you choose to sign in to Ocean through the ONE ID link, and follow steps A to C above, you will be signed directly into your Ocean account without requiring your Ocean user name and password.

Signing out of Ocean will also sign you out of ONE ID. The ONE ID sign in link can also be completed through the Ocean Healthmap.

To disconnect your Ocean user account from your ONE ID, select the "clear" button beside the ONE ID User Id, under your account information, and save changes.
