What happens when you click 'restart triage' in the NHS Pathways system?

When 'restart triage' is selected in the NHS Pathways system, it initiates a process that clears all previously recorded information associated with the current session. This means all the questions and answers that were inputted during the triage process are removed from the system, allowing the user to start anew without any remnants of the prior interaction.

This feature is particularly useful for ensuring accurate triage results when a new assessment is necessary or when the user may want to reassess a case with different parameters. It supports a seamless transition by providing a fresh slate, which is essential in clinical environments where past data might impact current decision-making.

The other options do not align with the function of the 'restart triage' button, as persistent data retention or session locking is not part of its operation.
