When a patient submits images, videos or forms to Isla, they consent to the data being stored and viewed as necessary for their direct care. However, clinical users will sometimes request additional consent (enhanced consent) from patients in order to use their submissions for teaching or research purposes. This can be done entirely from the patient record.

In order to request 'enhanced consent', the clinician will select images from a collection they want additional consent for, e.g. publication and or teaching.

They’ll be directed through a flow which sends a text message and email to the patient. The sms will contain the code that is used to unlock a PDF, and the email will contain the locked PDF containing the images that were selected by the clinician and a link to a form detailing the images selected. The form contains a table with checkboxes for each level of consent, allowing the patient to decide which of the selected images they want to give enhanced consent for.

Once the patient has indicated which images they give additional consent for, the corresponding entry card on the collection in Isla will display a “Consent for publication” and or “Consent for teaching” message.

The starting point for the enhanced consent user flow is the button to “request enhanced consent” from the 'more actions' tab on a collection.
