Consent Directives

A consent directive gives patients the option of restricting access to the personal health information in their electronic health record. This means that when a clinician tries to access the record, a warning banner is displayed, indicating that some or all of the record is blocked. Consent directives are placed and removed through Service Ontario. If you have express consent from the patient or their substitute decision maker, you can temporarily override consent. Please note that when you do so, anyone under the same authority will be able to view that patient’s data for four hours.

Encapsulated Documents

Some lab result reports may contain further information by way of an attachment to the report. These attachments are displayed as encapsulated documents and are identified within the document icon with a plus symbol. To view the attachment, you must first download the report, save to your computer and then open with a PDF reader (i.e.: Adobe Acrobat).
