To add the consent status for a selected patient:

Consent for ECS is implied, therefore to stop the ECS extract from uploading to SCI Store, consent refused must be recorded.

Note - The ECS Status traffic light automatically turns from Green to Red, and if the patient had given KIS consent in the past, this also changes to Red as it is dependent on ECS consent.

In order for a KIS extract to be uploaded, the last consent status for ECS recorded for the patient must be Consent Given, and there must be patient consent recorded for KIS.

Note - Consent for KIS is controlled through the ECS Summary Management Consent Status method, not KIS Consent Read codes.

To record consent for KIS:

  1. From Consultation Manager, select List - ECS/PCS/KIS Summary Management.
  2. Select Summary and Consent Status - More.
  3. Select Change within the KIS column.

  4. The Consent for KIS upload screen displays:

  5. Complete as required:
    • KIS Consent Given – Tick if the patient agrees to a KIS upload.
    • KIS Consent Declined – Tick if the patient refuses a KIS upload.
    • Notes – Enter as required.
  6. Select OK to save and close.
Note - The KIS Status traffic light automatically turns Green if consent is given or Red if consent is refused.
See Decision to Send/Not Send KIS for further details.

If the patient refuses consent for a KIS upload, you can select to override the consent and send:

  • A KIS, if ECS consent is given or implied, or
  • A KIS Special Note, if ECS consent is refused.

With KIS Consent Declined ticked, the Overridesection must be completed:

  • Override Consent - Tick to override the patients choice.
  • Reason - Select from the available list.
  • Patient aware of override - Tick if you have made the patient aware.
  • Notes - Enter a short explanation of the override decision.
