This is just one step away from the details of the form itself. I'm trying to encode a generic "Was consent obtained by patients" for sharing of their data in a particular aspect. ICO provides a lot of detail regarding who signed what (e.g. "informed consent form signed by human subject" ) but doesn't it make sense to have a summary phrase to represent the outcome of the whole process, e.g. "subject provided informed consent" and "subject refused informed consent"? Thx...

We are having a call of members of the ICO team today where I hope to discuss this item. Sorry for the delay. I have thought about the need to have a concept/class such as "legally effective informed consent obtained". Do you think this would address your issue?

something like that would be great - but it will need to have at least two states. One in which consent is obtained on a given matter, another where it was "refused" or "declined". A person can participate in an overall study but decline to share certain results to 3rd parties (or publicly) for example.

Any outcome yet on this? I have a few terms in GenEpiO ontology covering this that I'd rather use your ID's for. Thx.

Sounds good! I think maybe the diagram attachment got dropped though?

Ok. It looks like the above is not quite in Ontobee version of ICO yet?
