Approved consent content

Pathology content is your clinic’s own consent wording, per pathology or procedure: the description of the act, the risk tiers, the investigations, the alternatives, the anaesthesia information, and the list of things a clinician must cover when discussing it. The list page states its role: “The clinic’s approved consent content per pathology — risk tiers, act description, investigations. The pathology annex renders exactly this text; the conversation is checked against it.”

Two consequences make this the highest-leverage setup work in Med:

The pathology annex prints your approved text verbatim. Med does not paraphrase it, and a signed document records which version the patient saw.
Conversations are checked against it. Your coverage checklist becomes the list of elements Med looks for in the consultation, and anything you did not discuss is flagged on the document for you to deal with.

Find it under Patients → Pathology content. Any Med user in your clinic can draft and approve content; it holds no patient data.

Statuses and versions

Status	Meaning
Draft	Editable. Not used on any document.
Approved	In force. Immutable. New annexes render this version.
Retired	No longer in use.

Approved content cannot be edited: “Approved content is immutable — create a new version to change the wording.” To change it, open it and press New version, which forks the latest approved version into the next-numbered draft while the approved one keeps serving documents. Med confirms: “Draft version N created — the approved version stays in use until you approve this one.”

Because signed documents pin the version they used, the exact text a patient saw stays reconstructable even after you have improved the wording several times.

Creating content from a protocol PDF

Importing a protocol is the normal way to start. Press Import from PDF. The dialog explains what happens: “Upload a clinical protocol PDF. We ingest it into Clinical Knowledge and draft pathology consent content for review — never auto-approved.”

Fill in:

PDF protocol — one PDF describing one pathology or procedure.
Pathology name — what you will recognise it by.
Identifier (slug) — optional; generated from the name if you leave it.
Medical family — required.
Discipline — optional, and dependent on the family; you can type your own.

Press Start import. Med ingests the PDF and drafts the content, showing “Importing pathology… Ingesting the PDF and drafting consent content. This can take a minute.”, then Draft ready with Open draft.

The imported PDF also lands in your Clinical knowledge library, which is what lets Med suggest passages from it later. If you no longer want it there, an approved entry offers Remove from the clinic library — Med is explicit that this only stops the suggestions and “The approved consent content is NOT affected and keeps serving the annex.”

If content with that identifier already exists, Med tells you to open it and use New version instead of creating a parallel copy.

Writing the content

A draft has three parts.

Annex content

“This exact wording lands in the pathology annex. The conversation analysis checks coverage against it — it never rewrites it.” The fields, in the order they appear (their labels are shown in Romanian, as they print):

Field	What goes in it
Descrierea actului medical (required for approval)	What the procedure is and how it is performed.
Investigații necesare	Investigations the patient needs.
Tratamente alternative	The viable alternatives.
Riscuri frecvente (required for approval)	The common risks.
Riscuri moderate	Risks of intermediate severity or frequency.
Riscuri rare	Rare risks worth stating.
Riscurile refuzului tratamentului	What declining or delaying means for the patient.
Riscurile anesteziei	Anaesthesia risks, where relevant.
Beneficiile anesteziei	Anaesthesia benefits, where relevant.

Standard manopere

Rows for the annex’s authorisation table — Procedure, Area, Diagnostic — with Add row. The visit’s date is filled in automatically when a document is generated. Rows with no procedure are dropped when you save.

Coverage checklist

“One element per line — the conversation analysis will flag any of these the doctor did not discuss.” This is where you encode what a good consent conversation for this pathology contains. Keep the items short and checkable; each one becomes something Med looks for in the transcript.

Getting help from your own protocols

On a draft, the card Suggestions from clinic protocols searches the documents you uploaded under Clinical knowledge: “Search the protocols uploaded under Clinical knowledge and copy passages into the fields above. Nothing is inserted automatically.”

Type a query, press Search, and results show the document, the page and the passage, with Copy passage to paste it into a field yourself. Med adds the warning that belongs on it: “Suggestions are drafts from your uploaded protocols — always review and adapt before approving.”

Patient documents are deliberately excluded from these results, so a patient’s file can never leak into a template.

The card appears only when your clinic has a knowledge library and you have access to it.

Approving

Press Approve. Med requires the act description and the frequent risks to be filled first — the button is disabled until they are, with the hint “Fill in the act description and the frequent risks first”, and an amber note listing what is still needed. Nothing you typed is lost if approval is refused.

On success: “Content approved. New pathology annexes will render this version.” The entry then shows who approved it and when.

Finding content again

The list gives you status tabs with counts, a search over the name and identifier, and family and discipline filters. Each row shows the pathology, its identifier, its version, its status and who approved it. The list pages at 25.

A procedure in your catalogue is linked to a pathology’s content.
A consent session for that procedure produces the pathology annex, which renders the highest approved version of that content, pinned to the signed document.
Your coverage checklist for that pathology is added to what the conversation check looks for.
Where the conversation left an element unsaid, Med can fill it from the approved content — with the field labelled from the standard content — and it flags what was completed that way, plus any apparent contradiction between what you said and the approved text. Both are advisory: they never stop you printing or signing, and you can record that you reviewed them.
