LOINC description : Document of a patient consent for an unspecified healthcare service/procedure/activity.
A patient consent form is a document that a patient signs to indicate that they give
consent for (agree to allow) a particular action. Some common consent forms are for
a procedure, surgery, organ donation, release of information. The actions for which
a patient might be expected to give formal written consent can vary between providers,
departments, facilities or regions and as with general legal documents, are numerous
- thus the need for this generic term.;
