Authorization for Quality Message Testing

Purpose: I, the undersigned Patient, authorize the healthcare provider named above to send quality-assurance and system validation test messages to the contact methods I designate below for the purpose of assessing and improving message delivery, readability, and clinical routing.

Designated contact methods (check all that apply):

SMS / Text Message
Email
Automated or Live Voice Call
Mobile App / Secure Portal Notification

Message content: Test messages will generally contain non-clinical phrases and standardized test identifiers. With my consent, messages may include limited patient identifiers necessary for realistic routing tests (for example: initials, date of birth, or a limited portion of the medical record number). I understand that routine clinical decision-making will not be based on test messages.

I consent to the inclusion of limited protected health information (PHI) in test messages as described above.

Frequency and scheduling: Tests may occur periodically during normal business hours or during maintenance windows. Anticipated frequency:

Risks, Rights, and Revocation

Risks: I understand that while the organization will use reasonable safeguards to protect message content, there is a risk of unintended disclosure through interception, device loss, or misdirected communications. I acknowledge potential carrier or data charges from my service provider for certain message types.

Right to withdraw: I may revoke this authorization at any time by providing written notice to the practice's Privacy Officer or Medical Records Department. Revocation will not apply to messages already sent or to actions taken in reliance on this authorization prior to receipt of the revocation.

Redisclosure: Information disclosed pursuant to this authorization may be subject to redisclosure by the recipient and may no longer be protected by federal privacy laws to the extent permitted by law. The practice will limit disclosures to that information reasonably necessary to perform quality testing.

Privacy Acknowledgment

I acknowledge receipt of the practice's privacy notice and understand how my protected health information may be used for the purposes described in this authorization.

Certification: By signing below I certify that I understand the nature and purpose of this authorization, that participation is voluntary, and that I have had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers about the testing procedures and associated risks.
