This class represents a set of privacy consent directives issued by a consenter on behalf of self or someone else. [HL7 DAM] A Consent Directive is a record of a Subject of Care’s health information privacy policy. A Consent Directive grants or withholds authorization to collect, access, use, or disclose individually identifiable health information about the client. [HL7 CDA] Note: There used to be a class called "PublishedConsent" the definition of which was: "This specialization of the ConsentDirective class is used to describe a consent directive published to a registry. If a client s consent directive is published, a URL/URI is made available for reference. The client may use this URI to allow providers access to the consent directive created by the consenter." We have moved the uri property to this class and deleted the Published Consent class.
