Performing Staff and Security Functions > Logging Out/Switching Staff Members
If your practice uses the Enable Automatic Logoff HIPAA option, a staff member is automatically logged off if his computer is inactive for a designated number of minutes.
After the specified period of inactivity, the computer screen turns gray, and all computer functions are locked. The Staff Login window is displayed on the screen, with a message stating, The last user was automatically logged out of OrthoTrac due to system inactivity.
After the computer is locked, if the same user logs in, he can resume whatever he was doing before he was logged off, without losing any data. If a different user logs in to the computer, any unsaved data in open OrthoTrac windows is lost.
Critical functions, such as the daysheet, roll, and statement generation, are not terminated if another user logs in to the computer after an automatic logoff.
