Patient Consent

Patient Data Sharing Consent authorises Outcomes Manager to extract patient identifiable data for trusted organisations.

This produces aggregated data on a dashboard that can be drilled down to show patient details. A practice must opt in for this to occur.

There are three options available:

• Do not allow patient identifiable data to be shared (default)
• Allow patient identifiable data to be shared to any organisation
  Shares data with any organisations your practice has a relationship with.
• Allow patient identifiable data to be shared to the selected organisations/extracts
  Choose which organisations/extracts you want to share patient identifiable data with.
