Consent and Patient Rights | OpesCare
Consent-First by Design

You stay in control of your health information.

OpesCare uses a consent-first model. By default your medical records are private and inaccessible until you explicitly authorise access. Every request, approval, and access event is logged and available to you.

The four pillars of patient data control

Every access request flows through these layers before any information is shared.

Consent Requests

When a healthcare provider needs access to your records, they submit a structured consent request showing who is asking, why they need the information, exactly what they want to see, and how long the access will last.

Scoped Access

Providers receive only the specific information needed for their role and purpose. A pharmacy does not automatically see your full diagnosis history. A lab receives only what is required to process the order.

Access Logs

Every time your record is accessed, you can see which facility or role made the request, the timestamp, the stated purpose, and which specific data was retrieved.

Revocation

You can revoke access for any approved provider where policy allows. Once revoked, that facility can no longer pull your records without submitting a new consent request.

How a consent request works

A step-by-step view of the consent workflow from provider request to access.

1

Provider Submits Request

A doctor or facility requests access, specifying purpose, scope, and duration.

2

Patient Is Notified

You receive a notification showing all details of who is asking and why.

3

You Approve or Deny

You decide whether to approve, deny, or approve with modified scope.

4

Access Is Granted

If approved, the provider pulls only the consented information — nothing more.

5

Access Is Logged

A full audit entry is recorded, visible to you and your care team.

6

You Can Revoke

At any time you can revoke active consent from your patient timeline.

Emergency Access

Emergency access when every second matters — with full accountability.

In a life-threatening emergency where you cannot provide consent, an approved provider may access a limited emergency profile. This action is never silent.

  • Emergency access triggers an immediate high-priority audit alert.
  • The provider must state a documented clinical reason before access is granted.
  • Compliance officers and facility admins are notified automatically.
  • Only a limited emergency profile is accessible — not your full history.
