PDS Mismatches in Daybook

For patients whose local demographic details do not match the Spine, a PDS/Vision 3 Mismatch displays each time the patient is selected until the PDS mismatch is resolved. If you choose to defer a mismatch, a SCR/PDS synchronisation is done automatically. If the patient is successfully synchronised "Identity Confirmed" displays in Consultation Manager, see SCR PDS Synchronisation for further details. If unsuccessful, the patient is "Unlinked" and SCR updates cannot be sent until the mismatch is resolved.

This is sent to all staff unless a SCR group has been created, see Create a SCR Group in Control Panel.
