Working With the EDM for Sun Master Patient Index

Unlocking an SBR Field on the Patient EDM

Once you unlock a field for overwrite in an SBR, the SBR is recalculated by the survivor calculator and the field can be updated by changes made to system records. If you added a child object to an SBR and then unlock all fields in the new object, that object is removed from the SBR by the survivor calculator.
