Overriding security settings to access restricted record?

When you need to access a restricted patient record in an emergency, the action is Break the Glass. This term describes a sanctioned, temporary elevation of access to vital information when normal security would hinder urgent patient care. The access is granted for a limited window, tied to a justified reason, and documented for audit purposes. After use, the elevated access ends and the event is reviewed to ensure it was appropriate and compliant. This approach balances patient safety with privacy by providing necessary data access only when truly needed, while creating an audit trail. Other terms listed aren’t standard names for this emergency override of protections, so they don’t describe the action as accurately as Break the Glass.
