Patient Consent Temporary Override Event
A documented, time-limited action in which an authorized person or system temporarily supersedes a patient’s active consent restrictions to permit specified access to, use of, or disclosure of the patient’s health information under an approved exception, such as an emergency or “break-glass” situation. The event records the initiator, justification, scope, effective period, and audit details, and does not permanently change the patient’s underlying consent preferences.
