Help Center4D EMR now includes an Photo Consent Indicator displayed on the Patient Summary screen. This enhancement allows staff to quickly verify a patient's photo consent status without navigating through multiple sections of the record.
Viewing the Photo Consent Status
To view a patient’s photo consent status:
- Open the patient’s chart in 4D EMR.
- Navigate to the Summary tab.
- Under the Patient Email section, the consent information will be displayed.
- Example:
Photo Consent: Granted for marketing and website
- Example:
This provides an at-a-glance confirmation of the patient's consent settings.
Setting or Updating Photo Consent
The photo consent status is managed from within the patient profile.
Steps to Update the Consent Settings:
- Open the patient’s record in 4D EMR.
- Go to Profile → Details.
- Click Edit Profile.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page to locate the Optional Fields section.
- Expand the section to reveal Photo Consent settings.
- Adjust the two available photo consent fields as needed.
- Save your changes.
Important Notes
- Consent indicator is NOT automated. Photo consent must be manually set by staff.
- Practices must only update the consent status after receiving a written or electronically signed consent from from the patient.
- Keeping these fields accurate ensures compliance with patient privacy and marketing usage guidelines.
