eHealth consent¶
Before caregivers share a patient’s health data through the eHealth platform, the patient must give their informed consent. It is registered once, at eHealth, and holds for every caregiver who treats them. WideCare checks it, registers it and revokes it from the resident’s record.
Before you start
The resident has a NISS.
A practitioner’s personal eHealth certificate is installed: the consent is registered under a practitioner’s name, never under the home’s.
The menu and the button are reserved to the eHealth practitioners (physician, nurse…) and to the eHealth managers.
Checking a resident’s consent¶
On the resident’s record, click the Consent smart button — it shows the current state. You can also open eHealth → Consent → eHealth consents.
Click Check at eHealth.
The record shows the answer:
State |
Meaning |
|---|---|
Not checked |
Nobody asked eHealth yet |
No consent on file |
eHealth knows no consent for this resident |
Consent registered |
A consent is on file: the date, and who registered it in Registered by |
Consent revoked |
A consent was given, then withdrawn: both dates |
Error |
The platform answered with an error, shown on the record |
Registering a consent¶
Register only once the resident — or their representative — has agreed.
On the consent record, choose the Practitioner certificate.
Fill in the resident’s eID card number (the proof of their presence) or, for a resident without an eID, their ISI+ card number.
Click Register consent and confirm.
The record moves to Consent registered. A resident has a single consent record: refresh it with Check at eHealth rather than creating another.
Revoking a consent¶
On a registered consent, click Revoke consent and confirm. The record moves to Consent revoked, with the date.
Key points to remember¶
The Consent smart button on the resident shows the state and opens the record.
Check at eHealth before anything else: the consent may already be on file.
Registering needs the resident’s agreement and a practitioner’s certificate.
