Consent to Share Info Status (HP041)

Consent to Share Info Status (HP041)

Purpose:

When starting a consultation, this protocol will highlight if you have data sharing recorded for your patient, including when this was given. It will also ask you if you want to update this information so it is current.

Key features

  • Allows users to see information about data sharing when starting a consultation
  • Ensures data is kept up to date by triggering review by clincians when starting a consultation

What does it look like?

The protocol looks like this:


If you choose to update the information, the following template appears:


System Dependencies:

This protocol is dependent on your surgery recording consent to share information with a specified third party within the clinical system.  There should be a proper process leading to the addition of this code to the records - involving the patient providing written consent and agreeing the associated risks and benefits of sharing information.

System Trigger

System Trigger: Load patient record
Run mode: Always run 
Enable trigger for: All clinical team members

Fitting your practice

Your team need to be aware that this protocol will pop up at the beginning of any consultation where the patient has given consent to share information with a specified third party.  This is especially useful with Prospective Records Access, to double check that consent is still valid for the patient, and to update preferences.

How to get it


Optional Handy Protocols will need to be 'activated' within your clinical system. See our support article for instructionsHow to locate Optional Handy Protocols and Activate these
