Consent status can be configured on up to three different levels: An enterprise policy applies to the combination of a single enterprise and a single external system. This policy provides the consent default for all patients of that enterprise when their data is being shared with that external system. Each enterprise policy can include practice overrides that establish a different consent default for a given practice. Each patient can optionally have a patient override that takes precedence over both the enterprise consent default and the practice default.
