What ConsentIQ does
Everything here ends up in the record.
Five things that change what the record can show later.
01 Questions
Questions about this tooth, not just this treatment.
From your practice software
Appointment
Planned treatment
Endodontic treatment
Tooth
LL6 · FDI 36
Diagnosis
Irreversible pulpitis
We only read who the patient is, the appointment, the treatment, the tooth and the diagnosis. Nothing else.
02 Children, languages, ability to decide
The patients a paper form was not built for.
Who decides for this patient
Under 13
Parental responsibility
A parent or someone else with parental responsibility answers, and their name is recorded.
13 to 15
Gillick
The clinician checks if the child is Gillick competent (mature enough to decide for themselves). That decides who answers.
16 and over
Adult
Treated as able to decide for themselves, unless there is a reason to doubt it.
Unsure they can decide
Mental Capacity Act
The legal two-step test of whether they can make this decision (capacity), and the help they were given.
Cannot decide
Best interests
Others decide in their best interests, and the record names who was asked. This is not consent.

Each language is a translation of your own form, so the record is the same in every language. A clinician who reads that language approves it first.
03 The seal (a lock on the record)
Sealed records are locked. Any change shows up.
How records are linked
- 890f45295d34…Earlier record
- linked to 890f45295d34…0c13c74aa4f4…Earlier record
- linked to 0c13c74aa4f4…414c7a883171…Latest record
Each record carries a tamper check made from the record before it. If anyone changes an old record, every link after it breaks. So it is tamper-evident, which is not the same as tamper-proof: a change always shows, but it is not impossible.
04 Your practice software
A note that links to the record.
The note points to the record. It never copies it. This only works if your practice software lets other programs add notes.
05 Same day
Consent on the day, for the patient in pain.
Same day
Emergencies
- 01Patient added and seen the same day
- 02A short form with only the risks that must be covered
- 03Done in the waiting room, or skipped with a written reason
- 04Treatment goes ahead either way
Skipping needs a written reason, and it shows on the Compliance page afterwards. ConsentIQ never stops treatment going ahead.
The one rule
ConsentIQ never stops treatment going ahead.
If a patient missed something, the person treating them is told. What happens next is their clinical decision.
