True or False: If a user can utilize a Smart Phrase, they also have permission to edit it.

In this context, the statement is evaluated based on user permissions associated with Smart Phrases within the electronic health record (EHR) system. Generally, the ability to utilize a Smart Phrase—meaning a user can insert it into an electronic document—does not inherently grant that user permission to edit or modify the phrase. This distinction is critical as Smart Phrases are typically standardized for consistency and accuracy in documentation across the department.

Editing permissions are often restricted to specific roles, such as administrators or members of the clinical leadership team. By maintaining this separation, organizations ensure that standardization is upheld, minimizing the risk of variability in documentation that could arise from unauthorized changes. Thus, the assertion that just because a user can use a Smart Phrase they can also edit it is false, as permission to use does not equate to permission to modify.
