Editing the General Consent Message for Treatment Plans

A general consent message is a location's default consent message for procedures that don't have their own consent message. It displays in the following areas:

• The Consent Form window 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 necessary, you can edit your location's General Consent Message.

Important: You need the Manage Consent Messages user role permission set to edit a general consent message.

Notes:

• You can only edit your location's consent message. You cannot edit for your organization or for multiple locations at once.

• After updating the general message, Patient Consent Form for the associated procedure(s) that was consented before the update will display the previous consent message. However, when you print the consent form, it will display the current consent message, as the print view always displays the latest consent message configuration.

To edit a location's General Consent Message

1. On the Consent Messages page, edit the General Consent Message field as desired.

   

2. ClickTap Save to save your changes or clicktap Cancel to delete your changes.

   Notes:

   • The Save button is disabled until you make changes to the General Consent Message field.

   • If you don't save your changes, Ascend Academic will keep it until your session expires or when you log out. However, it is recommended you save because the print view of a treatment plan and the Consent Form window only displays the saved general consent message. If you modified the general consent message and didn't save, it doesn't display in these areas.
