Introduction

To help organisation comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 (alongside GDPR) we have introduced consent for recording external referrals. By default the system is setup that consent is required to record that an external referral has taken place. This guide will show you how to set this feature up to use it effectively or if not required how to disable the feature. Please note this feature does not control signposting.

There are three simple steps that need to be undertaken to effectively use this new feature:

  • Creating the Consent Rules - This is generally setup by your system administrator.
  • Allocating Consent Rules - Each organisation record is configured to say which rule must be completed in order to refer to this organisation.
  • Recording that consent has been obtained - Record that the service user has consented to have their details passed on to another organisation.

Creating the Consent Rules

The consent rule is setup here. You need to consider the type of rule that you may require.

Examples
Consent to pass details to the Hospital/Doctor - This would be added to all NHS based organisations and GP Surgeries.
Consent to pass details to Social Services - This would be added to all social services teams on the system.
Consent to pass details to other support services - This would be added to the organisations that provide support service that you don't provide.

If you are using a consent form this could be scanned and up loaded to the service users record.

The consent rules can be attached to either:

* The Service Users Record - When recorded all future External Referrals can be recorded up to the  Expiry date.
* On The referral - This records consent for that particular referral.  The Referral and Consent must be saved before the external referral is added.
