Sensitivity Flag

Sensitivity Flags are patient records for people whose personal details require extra protection from unauthorised access. The PDS only displays the patient’s name, sex, date of birth and death. Local procedures should be followed for dealing with sensitive records. You must have the appropriate RBAC rights to view sensitive records.

If a Sensitivity flag is returned and there are differences between the local and national record, you see a truncated "Please resolve the PDS/Vision mismatches" screen. You are not shown the address, telephone or primary care details that are recorded on the PDS. Any changes you make update Vision locally but do not update the PDS.
