Advancing Progress in Health and Human Services
Through Collaboration and Actionable Information-Sharing
Introducing our Consent Service Utility conceptual model
Stewards of Change Institute (SOCI), working with partners across the US, has developed the first comprehensive conceptual model for surmounting the challenges of obtaining and managing consent to share information across health and human services: Catalyzing Whole-Person Care: Consent-to-Share is the Key – Insights, Next Steps and a Roadmap. The conceptual model is the outgrowth of four years of collaborative work to obtain informed, voluntary consent from people (patients/clients) to share their personal, identifiable, sensitive information across service providers to deliver coordinated, whole-person care.
Highlights
Accelerating Cross-Sector Information Sharing
Project Unify is an advanced, cross-industry and cross-sector development project of Stewards of Change Institute and its National Interoperability Collaborative (NIC).
Our new report focuses on the nuts and bolts of improving consent, such as legal and technical issues.It also explains our open-source proof-of-concept initiative, the Consent Service Utility (CSU). Most importantly, it gives voice to “people with lived expertise,” those in underserved communities who stand to gain the most from progress.
The processes for obtaining, revoking and managing consent are still highly siloed and often paper-based. SOCI has decided to sharply focus its 2022 activities on bringing them into the 21st Century.
