Agreement and Consent

    I  __(patient’s name or legal guardian)_____ give permission to <name of hospital> or any health professional involved in my care delivery to gather and access health information about me that is relevant to my current treatment. Such health information will also be held and processed by this hospital, its health professionals, and the Philippine Health Information Exchange (PHIE) for continued medical care or for public health purposes. I cannot be denied medical care due to non-participation in PHIE.

	I understand that suitable safeguards have been put in place, so as to protect my privacy, welfare and other fundamental rights.

	<name of attending physician to filled out by hand writing> has explained to me this agreement and my hospital admission, and I consent to both.  I understand that this agreement only relates to the overall care delivery until such agreement is revoked by me. Specific medical procedures may require separate consent from me.
