If the information is no longer valid, update the registration and set the verification status to “refuted”.
Access when the SCR is blocked for some health personnel
A patient can block some health personnel from his/her summary care record as well as alert information. All CRUD(CreateReadUpdateDelete) APIs will return an error (i.e. KJF-000180), if they receive requests originating from any health personnel against that patient. See Error handling for information regarding errors.
It is not possible to block that specific health personnel using APIs. This is why APIs return error for all requests against that patient. However, it is possible for other health personnel to use summary care record portal to look into(and or update) alert information of that patient.
Remember that alert information can be stored inside electronic health record. And any blockage from summary care record does not apply to infomation registered inside electronic health record of that patient.
Access a locked Summary Care Record
A Person may choose to lock his/her Summary Care Record. All CRUD(CreateReadUpdateDelete) APIs will return an error(i.e. KJF-000179), if they receive requests for that patient. See Error handling for information regarding errors.
However, alert information for these patients can be fetched either by getting patient's consent or in acute cases.
Remember that alert information can be stored inside electronic health record. And any blockage from summary care record does not apply to infomation registered inside electronic health record of that patient.

*master: Alert information serves as central national repository, which is connected to multiple EHR systems. Health personnel work within their local EHR systems. However, every EHR system must update central national repository using APIs, which are covered in this guideline.
