Written answers
The consent model proposed for the electronic patient summary has not yet been developed. It will form a critically important part of the patient summary care programme. It will need to strike the right balance between patient preferences and the needs of clinicians in various healthcare settings. HIQA will be asked to assist in the development of the consent model. Experience from other countries in relation to consent models for electronic health records has been already studied extensively and will help inform decisions in Ireland.
