What is the effect of retriggering messages in the system?

Retriggering messages in a system is primarily aimed at applying changes that have occurred in the underlying database or application, which is often referred to as Chronicles in the context of Epic systems. When a message is retriggered, it signifies that the original event associated with that message should be re-evaluated in light of any updates or modifications that have occurred since the event was first processed.

This ensures that the event reflects the current state of the relevant data, thus maintaining data integrity and accuracy. Changes in Chronicles might include updates to patient records, changes in scheduling, or other significant alterations that affect how events should be handled. By retriggering the message, the system can ensure that any subsequent actions taken based on that event are relevant and based on the most up-to-date information.

The other answer choices imply different effects that retriggering does not accomplish, like deleting the message, locking it, or marking it as resolved, which do not align with the purpose of ensuring the message reflects current conditions.
