An informed consent document is typically used to provide subjects with the information they need to make a decision to volunteer for a research study. Federal regulations (45 CFR 46.116) provide the framework for the type of information (i.e., the “elements”) that must be included as part of the consent process.
Content for a valid authorization includes: The name of the person or entity authorized to make the request (usually the patient) The complete name of the person or entity to receive the protected health information (PHI) A specific description of the information to be used or disclosed, including the dates of service.
Obtaining Informed Written Consent Informed consent means that the person giving consent needs to understand why information needs to be shared, who will see their information, the purpose to which it will be put and the implications of sharing that information.

Informed consent is a process of communication between you and your health care provider that often leads to agreement or permission for care, treatment, or services. Every patient has the right to get information and ask questions before procedures and treatments.
A consent form should be a short document (normally one page but may need to be longer depending on the complexity of the study) containing explicit statements of what taking part in the research project involves and what will become of the data collected.
A document with important information about a medical procedure or treatment, a clinical trial, or genetic testing. It also includes information on possible risks and benefits. If a person chooses to take part in the treatment, procedure, trial, or testing, he or she signs the form to give official consent.
The consent form should describe if/when identifiable data will be destroyed and how such data will be protected and how it will be used or shared. Language - Consent forms should be written in the 2nd person (i.e., "you are") and in a language that is clear, concise, and understandable to the subject population.
Consent means giving people genuine choice and control over how you use their data. If the individual has no real choice, consent is not freely given and it will be invalid. This means people must be able to refuse consent without detriment, and must be able to withdraw consent easily at any time.
