The NEBRASCA Information Builder is used to create procedure specific Patient Information Documents, that forms the basis of Consent Forms used here.

Simple what-you-see-is-what-you get HTML Consent Form. This was the original version, and rather dated, but still functional and easily customisable (contact us for help), very portable, and while currently limited, will continue to be enhanced.

This Standard Consent Form takes you through the process of consenting. Data can be saved on the user's device as a "BLOB" for later reloading and completion, when sufficient "cooling off" period has passed. Documents can be downloaded as PDF files for emailing to the patient, or insertion into the care record.

In order to continue a previously created consent form, or to use a predefined ready-made template, for signature and/or modification, a BLOB needs to have been saved. This may be uploaded here to proceed.

NEBRASCA is the structure of the information contained in Patient Information Leaflets that are directly linked to the Consent Form. Informed consent is a process where the patient agrees to a procedure based on a discussion. This discussion is supplemented with information that may be taken away that summarises the procedure, its associated benefits, risks and alternatives and the options available to the patient. This permits reflection and a "cooling off" period, and can for the basis of further discussion or clarification. Anyone with a thorough understanding of the procedure can create one.

The name is derived from the constituents of the standard Patient Information Leaflet, and is structured around the consent form to be generated.

• Name and aliases of the procedure
• Explanation of the procedure
• Benefits of the procedure
• Risks of the procedure
• Alternatives to the procedure
• Supplementary information
• Comments and Contact information
• Authors.

This is a placeholder for a tool that generates Information for the peroperative period, the preparation required and what to expect. A standard for this tool is yet to be established, but once done, this will be incorporated into the workflow of consenting a patient.

This site provides a NHS Compliant Consent Form, for use by health professionals, largely for free. The consent process is more than just filling out a form, and the purpose of this is to help the health professional and patient go through this critical part of the journey through a clinical investigation or procedure. Our goal is to ease that process, integrating patient information, and permitting documentation of patient's instructions and any secondary discussions. It does this in a privacy focused and secure manner. It will be customisable but will work without any customisation.

• Free.The Consent Form is Free to use for anyone that may find it useful. Much of the code that was used to build this site was obtained from generously provided resources on the internet. It seems uneasonable,therefore, to charge a premium for a tool reliant of the kindness of the community of developers from around the world. A nominal fee is charged for customisation, largely to cover our server and development costs.
• Fast.The Consent Form is a lightweight tool. It avoids the use of frills that do not serve a need. This has significant performance benefits while reducing load on servers. Being largely stateless (not retaining session information between page jumps) there is reduced server overheads. This has sustainability benefits, makes for a more robust service. It achieves this by simplicity, using a design that does notdepend on databases, cookies and complex infrastructure, or web framework.
• Privacy Focused. Confidentiality is an essential component of handling data in a trustworthy way, particularly in the relationship between the healthcare provider and the patients being cared for. Malicious or accidental distribution of sensitive information is a pitfall for any service that stores, handles or transmits data. The Consent Form protects privacy merely by not storing any sensitive data at all on the servers, in any form. No accounts, no Logins, no Payment Information.
• SimpleThe manual and intellectual hurdles required for a user to navigate a resource are obstacles to acceptance, usability and also potential triggers for confusion, mis-information and misdirection. The Consent Form philosophy is to deliver what is needed, with the complexity desired as quickly as possible. e.g. two clicks could get the user to a usable consent form. However for additional features, one more simple form will get a site-specific, use-case determined form.
• SecureThe Consent Form site and its tools protect user data by not keeping any of it. Documents produced will be digitally fingerprinted to prove authenticity. Because it does not keep any data valuable to a malicious entity, it does not present itself as a worthwhile target for attack. Because the user credentials are not genrally required, they are not stored. Because patient information is not retained, it protects the clients' confidentiality. Because this toolkit can be hosted inside an Intranet, an organisation's own security can be an additional layer of protection. Naturally if more additional security is required, please contact us
• SustainableThe Consent Form will be designed to use standards compliant tools, with a published API that can allow easy integration into any Commercial and Open Source platform. While many platforms have a commercial interest in maintaining proprietary interfaces to exclude or monetise accessibility to other platforms or users, we feel it is unethical to do so in the healthcare industry.

It is possible that other resources may be superior to ours. It is conceivable that they may be cheaper, safer, faster, more secure or simply may do the job better or be better marketed. We merely provide an alternative that strives to be the best. In any case these will be listed below for those interested :-

• OrthoConsent
• Concentric

We do NOT intend to offer a comparison with these tools, but if there is a feature that you would like us to include, please let us know. Also let us know know of any other products that should be listed.

We are front-line clinicians and developers who understand the requirements and obstacles to the provision of good quality healthcare. It is often the tools that we use that get in our way, use more time, cost more money, eroding the delivery of care. The Open Consent Form hopes to be an example of a tool that saves time, money whilst improving adherence to the values of good quality clinician-patient relationship.
