Consents on Care Control
This guide will cover how to create and assign Consents on Care Control Windows
1
In the Administration of Care Control Windows, navigate to the Consent Templates tool, which can be found under the Care Planning tab.
2
A new window will open. Here, a list of the consents currently active on your system will be displayed. You can create a new one by scrolling to the bottom of the list.
There will be a blank row in which you can enter the name and category of the consent as well as set the frequency and default status.
3
After completing the basic information, press Build Consent to configure the written body of it.
4
A note builder window will open. Here you can type in the large text box as well as use prompt fillers from the blue options on the right hand side.
These prompts appear as square brackets in the template, [x], but are replaced by specific information when the note is completed. For example, the prompt ‘[Full Name]’ is replaced by the service users full name when the consent is recorded.
5
After building your note template, you can test it by selecting a service user from the drop-down list, then, press Test Template.
An example of the note will be displayed in the box below.
Press Save Note Template when you are happy with the set-up. The consent is now complete.
