When to use this form
Use this form when you need clear, written permission for a specific action, access, or disclosure. It fits clinics sharing patient records, schools allowing a nurse to give medication or release a child to a listed adult, and teams granting a vendor limited system access. You get a paper trail that states who may do what, for whom, and for how long, so staff can act without delay. For medical care, pair this with the Consent to treat form. If the situation may involve urgent pickup, transport, or decisions, include the Emergency permission form to cover emergencies.
Must Ask Authorization Request Questions
- What action are you authorizing?
It defines the exact task or access being permitted, which prevents scope creep and delays. Clear wording helps your team route the request to the right owner and apply the right checks.
- Who is authorized to act, and for whom?
Naming the person or organization and the subject (patient, student, or account) avoids confusion and protects privacy. It also ensures you can verify relationships, such as parent, guardian, or agent.
- When does this permission start and end?
Start and expiration dates stop open-ended approvals that create risk. Time limits also align with policy and make audits faster.
- What information or resources are included and excluded?
Listing allowed data, systems, or records enforces least-privilege access. Stating what is out of scope reduces follow-up and prevents accidental disclosures.
- How will you verify identity and document consent?
Collecting ID, signature, and contact details reduces fraud and strengthens compliance. If the request involves vaccination status, capture proof with the Flu shot proof form.
