Deemed consent
In the context of a statutory requirement, means that it does not matter whether the patient/person has actually consented; the law permits organizations to act as if the patient/person has consented; there is no right to withdraw or withhold consent.
Express consent
A voluntary agreement with what is being done or proposed that is unequivocal and does not require any inference on the part of the organization seeking consent.
Implied consent
A voluntary agreement with what is being done or proposed that can be reasonably determined through the actions or inactions of the patient/person.
Masking
Description of the process of restricting an access to or transfer of PII. NOTE: Typically, masking is applied at the data source and may be overridden, as permitted by law, by the accessing custodian (e.g. in emergency health situations).
No consent
In the context of a statutory requirement, means that consent is not required for a particular purpose.
Substitute Decision Maker (SDM)
In relation to a patient/person, means, unless the context requires otherwise, a person who is authorized under legislation to consent on behalf of the patient/person to the collection, use or disclosure of personally identifiable information about the patient/person.
