CareConnect is British Columbia's secure, view-only Electronic Health Record (EHR) that offers authorized care providers access to an integrated, provincial view of patient-centric information available 24/7 to support the delivery of patient care.

See more info at: [https://my.careconnect.ca/](https://my.careconnect.ca/)

We've built a toolbar button and macro to enable Profile users to launch the CareConnect portal from Profile easily and with the current patient in context.

# Version 6 Launch Macro Changes

- The toolbar button macro and launch macro have been separated to make future updates much easier
- CareConnect will now launch using the user's system default web browser (e.g. Chrome, Edge, or Firefox), rather than always launching with Internet Explorer

# Package Download from Marketplace

Download the attached button and macro package. The download package contains 2 files:

- **CareConnect\_Macro\_v6.jfa** - Launch macro
- **CareConnect\_Button.jfa** - Toolbar button macro

# Launch Macro Import 

Follow these steps if you're configuring the new v6 macro and toolbar button, even if Profile users already have the CareConnect button on their toolbar. There have been changes with the toolbar button macro that will not be required in future.

1. Log in as an administrator user.
2. Go to Organization / Import & Export / Import Jaffa File.
3. Import the **CareConnect\_Macro\_v6.jfa **file from the download package.

# CareConnect Toolbar Button Configuration for Users

Each Profile user (or role if Role preferences are being used in the system) who requires the CareConnect toolbar button must follow these steps to add the button to their toolbar. This is required if users have an older version of the toolbar macro, but will not be required in future if there are further changes to the launch macro.

1. Right-click on the main toolbar and choose **Toolbar settings...**
2. The Customise shortcuts and Macro Icons window will open. Navigate to the Macro Icons tab.
