Informed Consent for UNMC Media Production and Distribution Procedures: Difference between revisions

The Media Authorization Form (CON-0043) is used to obtain informed consent from participants in the production of audio-visual media.  This form must be obtained for each participant involved in any product or production.  The form may be obtained in small quantities from Public Affairs or in bulk from UNMC [http://info.unmc.edu/dept/procurement/ General Supply].  

** For patient participants: The original, signed authorization form must be placed in the patient’s chart and a duplicate copy filed in the responsible department’s files.

** For all other participants: The original, signed authorization form will be retained by the UNMC department or individual responsible for the production of the media product.

** Prior authorization is not required for photography or other media recordings in cases of suspected child abuse. Such media products may be made in the following instances:

** If a physician has a valid medical reason for believing child abuse has occurred.

** If the media is required for documentation and inclusion in the medical record.

** If the product is required as part of the physician’s child abuse report to the police.

** Such media products may not be released to outside parties unless the request is made by court order or by a valid and enforceable subpoena.<br \> <br \>
