Data Sharing Consent for ECS and Palliative Care - Scotland
Patient consent to data sharing for the purposes of both ECS and GSFS can be recorded in Registration (there is no direct access to the consent screen within Consultation Manager).
- From Registration, select the patient and click on the Consent tab.
Consent refused to data sharing for emergency care. The default is unticked, ie the patient consents to share data.
Consent given for palliative care data sharing - The default is unticked. Tick if the patient consents to data sharing for palliative care. Note that you can only record consent for palliative care data sharing if the patient consents first to ECS data sharing, ie if the ECS consent is unticked (ie not refused), then you can tick the palliative care option. ECS can be consented on its own without palliative care being ticked.
If patient changes consent and you change the tick status, then you get a warning message 'You have marked [patient name] as consenting to data sharing of Palliative care. consenting will also result in the consent of data sharing of Emergency Care Summary. Click Yes to confirm your request. Click No to cancel.':
in the top right corner and follow the on-screen prompts.
