From the Application Design and Behavior Resource (11.1.7):
Break Glass is a security code that allows users to override document viewing security. Whenever secured data is present in the patient chart, users who belong to a classification that contains the Break Glass security code will see the Break Glass button on the Patient Banner. Users who have the security code to view the documents are unaware of any viewing security applied to that patients data. [Added bold]
