Using the Encompass Apple Watch App

The Apple Watch app pairs with the iPhone app to give you secure access to your most vital patient information while on the go:

  • View your agenda at a glance
  • Read intramail messages
  • Review notes
  • Find out what rooms patients are in

To get started, you must enable passcode on your Apple Watch and install the Encompass app from your iPhone.

This page includes the following topics:

To open the Encompass app, you must have a passcode enabled on your Apple Watch.

  1. On your watch, tap the Settings app.
  2. Swipe to Passcode and tap it.
  3. Tap Turn Passcode On.
  4. Tap a four-digit code to enter it and enter it again to confirm.

You’ll be required to enter a passcode only after you restart the watch, lock the watch, or remove the watch from your wrist.

Depending on your settings, the Encompass app may automatically appear on your Apple Watch. If the app does not appear on your Apple Watch.

  1. On the iPhone paired with your Apple Watch, open the Watch app
  2. Tap the My Watch tab.
  3. Swipe to Eyefinity Watch and tap it.
  4. Tap the toggle switch to Show App on Apple Watch.

    It may take several minutes for the Watch app to install.

When you first open the app on the Apple Watch, you are prompted to sign into the Encompass app on your phone.

  1. Open Encompass on the iPhone paired with your Apple Watch.
  2. Sign in with your username and password or with Touch ID.

If you receive a message that says “DEVICE PASSCODE NEEDED TO USE APP", enable the passcode, as discussed in Activating Passcode.
