When deciding whether to use Manual Status Modification or Actions (High Security) to correct or remove a registration status in EMIS Web, consider the scope and implications of the required task. Manual Status Modification is used for quick, local adjustments where immediate correction is necessary without alerting external entities, such as when acknowledging that a patient's registration was incorrectly deducted or marked as deceased. This does not send transmissions through GP Links and keeps corrections local to your EMIS system.
Use Actions (High Security) when the situation requires more secure handling and when an update to external systems is undesirable. It is crucial to ensure that necessary permissions (RBAC roles like 'Manage Demographic Duplicate Records' or 'Undecease Patient') are in place to access and execute these functions under Workflow Manager. Always ensure careful consideration to avoid unintentional implications or breaches of data integrity standards.
Manual adjustments can save valuable administrative time in scenarios where swift correction is needed without involving GP Links.
