Definition

A consent in MANSOQ is a record of the permission or the refusal that a patient gives for a treatment, for a research study, or for the sharing of information. Each consent belongs to one encounter. MANSOQ shows the consents of an encounter on the Consents tab of that encounter, as a list of cards.

Key Attributes

Components What it captures
Status The current state of the consent.
Category The subject that the patient gives permission or refusal for.
Consent Decision Whether the patient permits or denies the subject of the consent.
Consent Given On The date and time when the patient gives the consent.
Consent Valid From The date and time from which the consent is valid.
Consent Valid Until The date and time until which the consent is valid.
Note Free text that records more information about the consent.

Consent Decision

Consent Decision records the answer of the patient. Select one of these values:

Consent Decision Description
Permit The patient allows the subject of the consent.
Deny The patient refuses the subject of the consent.

On the consent card, MANSOQ shows Permitted for Permit, and Denied for Deny.

Category

Category records the subject of the consent. The consent form shows these categories, with a short description for each one:

Category Description
Research Consent to take part in a research protocol and to share information.
Privacy Consent Consent to collect, access, use, or share information.
Treatment Consent to undergo a specific treatment.
Do Not Resuscitate Consent to not receive CPR or resuscitation in a cardiac event.
Advance Directive Consent that the patient gives before a possible need for medical treatment.
Advance Care Directive Consent for the actions to take if the patient can no longer decide.

Note: MANSOQ also holds a Comfort MANSOQ category, but the consent form has no option for it. You cannot select Comfort MANSOQ. This is a known gap in the product.

Verification

MANSOQ can hold a verification for a consent. A verification records who confirmed the consent, when they confirmed it, and the type of the confirmation. The type is Family for a confirmation by a family member or a representative. The type is Validation for a confirmation by the patient.

Note: The current version of MANSOQ has no screen to add, show, or remove a verification. This is a known gap in the product. For more information, see Verify a consent.

Changes after creation

MANSOQ fixes the Category, the Consent Decision, the Consent Given On date, and the validity period when you record the consent. The edit form does not show these fields. After creation, you can change the Status and the Note.
