eHealth Infrastructure (v2020.2)
A Consent resource is a record of a healthcare consumer’s policy choices, which permits or denies identified actors(s) or identified role(s) to perform one or more actions within a given policy context, for specific purpose(s) and period of time.
In the eHealth infrastructure a Consent resource is used
When a Patient gives a consent, this consent must be recorded as a Consent resource. This resource can be created by the Patient herself or by a Practitioner as a result of conversations or correspondence with the Patient.
eHealth operates with two categories of consents:
Category PITEOC: Consent given by a Patient to be enrolled into a telemedical EpisodeOfCare. This Consent is interpretated to also apply to all CarePlan instances related to the consented EpisodeOfCare.
Category SSLPCI: Consent given by a Patient to have his/her contact information (physical address and telecommunication endpoints) being disclosed to a specified actor supplying device(s) and service(s) to the Patient as part of an EpisodeOfCare and related CarePlan(s).
Consents of category PITEOC are expressed by creating a Consent resource with:
Consent.category.coding.system = "http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/consent-category"Consent.category.coding.code = "PITEOC".Consents of category SSLPCI are expressed by creating a Consent resource with:
Consent.category.coding.system = "http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/consent-category"Consent.category.coding.code = "SSLPCI".Business rules are built into eHealth infrastructure to ensure that data can only be processed or forwarded to other systems and actors when the proper Consent is given.
This means, that:
active if a Consent with category PITEOC has been given.submitted if a Consent with category SSLPCI has been given.In addition to the Consent.category element, the following elements must be set on a Consent resource for the policy enforcing business logic to take effect:
Consent.patient - the patient who is the subject of this consent (must coincide with the EpisodeOfCare.patient referenced by Consent.data.reference)Consent.data.reference - the EpisodeOfCare for which this Consent is in force.Consent.actor - the actor (Organization, CareTeam, Practitioner) whose behaviour is controlled by this consent.Consent.status - the status of this consent (only active consents are considered to be in force)Consent.period - the (possibly open-ended) period for which this consent is in force.For more information see the element descriptions in the snapshot table on this page and also see the example Consent resources on the Examples tab.
The update operation on Consent only accepts changes to the patient, category, data.reference, actor, status, and period contents.
