nexmin term
Identity Vault
Identity Vault is the structure nexmin uses to store each person’s identity: a single identity record to which their contact details and their clinical record are linked separately.
Someone may first get in touch, for example through a form, and later start a therapeutic process. nexmin does not merge these two sides: the contact and the clinical record are separate records, joined by the identity. Identifying data in the clinical record, such as name, email or phone number, is stored encrypted.
Fictitious example
A person leaves their email in a form to ask for information and, a month later, starts therapy. When you register them as a patient with the same email, nexmin recognises them as the same person and links their clinical record to the existing identity; the contact remains a separate record.
What to check
- Which contact details you need before a process starts, and how long you keep them if it never does.
- That the details of someone who only asked for information do not end up in a clinical record without reason.
- If you work in a team, who needs to see contact details and who needs the clinical record.
Inside nexmin
You will not see the name Identity Vault in the App: it is an architecture label. What you do see is its effect: when you register someone who was already a contact, their record is linked to the same person without merging the two records.
security measures and data processing →Limit
Who can see each record depends on each account’s permissions and how they are used, not only on how the records are separated.
