Verify a consent

Overview​

This flow describes the verification of a consent. A verification is a second confirmation of a consent that a member of staff recorded for a patient.

Note: The current version of Care has no screen for consent verification. You cannot add, view, or remove a verification from the web application. The steps below record what the system holds today. Review this flow again after the product adds the screen.

Pre-requisites​

  • The patient has an encounter at the facility, and a member of staff recorded a consent for that encounter.
  • You did not verify this consent before. Care refuses a second verification from the same user.
  • You have the permission listed below.

Permissions​

PermissionAccess
Update Encounter related clinical dataLets you add a verification to a consent, and remove a verification from a consent.

The Admin, Doctor, Nurse, and Facility Admin roles hold this permission.

Steps​

Open the encounter of the patient. Select the Consents tab. Select See Details on the consent that you want to verify.

2. Add the verification​

The consent record has no verification section, so you cannot add a verification here.

When you add a verification, Care holds this information:

ComponentWhat it captures
Verification TypeThe source of the confirmation: Family for a family member or a representative, or Validation for the patient.
Verified byThe name of the user who confirms the consent.
Verification dateThe date and time of the confirmation.

Care accepts one verification for each user on one consent. A second verification from the same user gives an error.

3. Remove the verification​

The consent record has no verification section, so you cannot remove a verification here.

Care removes only a verification that the same user added.

Expected Outcome​

  • Care holds the verification type, the name of the verifier, and the date and time of the verification.
  • Care does not show this information on any screen in the current version.
