Adding Procedure-Specific Treatment Consent Messages

By default, Ascend Academic displays your location's general consent message in the following areas:

• When a patient's consent is required for their procedure(s)

• On a consented Patient Consent Form

• On the print view of an accepted treatment plan

If your location's general consent message doesn't apply to a specific procedure, you can customize a consent message for that procedure. Once customized, it will display instead of the general consent message when the associated procedure is involved.

You can create a procedure-specific consent message for one procedure or for a group of procedures.

Important: You need the Manage Consent Messages user role permission set to add a procedure-specific consent message.

Note: You can only add a procedure-specific consent message for your location. You cannot add for your organization or for multiple locations at once.

To add procedure consent messages

1. On the Consent Messages page, review the list of existing procedure-specific consent messages to confirm a customized consent message doesn't exist for the desired procedure code(s).

   

2. ClickTap Add Consent Messages.

   The Create Procedure Consent Message window displays.

   

3. Enter the desired procedure's code or description in the Procedure ADACode field and select it from the generated search results.

   

4. (Optional) To apply the consent message to multiple procedures, repeat Step 3 as necessary.

5. Enter the desired custom message in the Consent Message field.

6. ClickTap Save.
