PowerChart and Cookies

[Simon Nguyen]

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to save cookies (to keep track of current user or sessions, for example). I understand that EHR systems run SMART apps on iframes, what happens when the EHR's browser closes? Does it keep cookies from previous sessions? 

Thanks!

Hi Simon,

You can see some of the FAQs about cookie and session (and how this works in an embedded browser) here: https://fhir.cerner.com/smart/

Always keep in mind that the EHR usually operates on a shared computer, so you often don't want the cookie to remain beyond the session.

Hi Jenni,

Thanks for your reply!

After reading the documentation, another question was raised. 

Let's say that I am using cookies for other purposes. When the user terminates its session with the EHR (PowerChart) or closes that application. Do the cookies erase themselves?
