Person in Care Consent
Consent is required for a Person in Care, regardless of their age. For patients under 14 years of age, implied consent is added automatically if you do not manually add consent after creating the relationship. Once the patient turns 14 years of age, consent must be renewed.
For more information about the Consent window, see the Consent Window Overview below.
