Clinic Consent Script Along with the surgical consent we would like your permission to collect your medical information in our Department Quality Database. The reason that we are collecting this information is to help us improve the quality of our patient care. The choice to let the Department of Surgery use your information is up to you and voluntary. You can say no and it will not affect your care in any way. Although your information will be stored in a protected system, there is a small risk that an unapproved person could gain access to your data. The consent form explains the study information in detail. Please feel free to contact the Department using the number located on page 2 with any questions or concerns that you may have in the future. Do you have any questions at this time? Are you willing to join in this study?
