The existence of an active ‘informed patient consent’ is one of the fundamental prerequisites for the healthcare providers to access patient’s medical data. Therefore, the eHealth platform makes available to the concerned patients and the health care actors involved in the exchange,
storage or referencing personal data a service to manage the ‘informed patient consent’ as defined by the deliberation 12/047 of the CSSSS/SCSZG1.
Technically, we identify the following attributes for an ‘informed patient consent’:
- The SSIN of the patient.
- The date of the consent registration (at the end-user side).
- The “type” of the consent If the consent is only valuable for data posterior to the signing date, it is called ‘prospective’ and ‘retrospective’ in the other case . According to the rules defined now, the only possible value for this attribute is ‘retrospective’. The attribute is present for backwards compatibility.
- The identity of the HCParty acting in the patient’s name (if applicable).

The “informed consent” can be managed and verified throughout several ways and associated components. The above scheme provides an overview of all those components. The “eHealth Consent WS” described here is only available for the software of the authorized healthcare professionals and institutions
KMEHR
This service is a ‘KMEHR-based’ WS. We thus strongly recommend consulting the documentation related to the KMEHR normative elements. The KMEHR site aims to offer a central point for the documentation of the KMEHR normative elements.
