A centralised, cloud-based image data storage and viewing platform for oncology patients: A quality improvement pilot study.
for ACT Health
In relation to this study I have been informed of the following points:
- The aim of the study is to determine whether the use of a centralised, cloud-based imaging data storage and viewing platform improves clinician efficiency and patient management.
- The study intervention may not be available following completion of the trial.
- The results obtained from the study may or may not be of direct benefit to my medical management.
- The study procedure will involve uploading my medical imaging into a centralised cloud storage platform (Aurabox) which will allow my treating doctors to access my medical imaging in one place.
- Should I develop a problem which I suspect may have resulted from my involvement in this project, I am aware that I may contact Dr Chaturica Athukorala who is the principal investigator of this study via email at chaturica.athukorala@aurabox.cloud.
- I can refuse to take part in this project or withdraw from it at any time without affecting my medical care.
- Participation in this project will not result in any extra medical or hospital costs to me.
- I understand that while the results of the research will be made accessible my involvement and my identity will not be revealed.
- In giving my consent, I acknowledge that the relevant Aurabox staff, and the Canberra Hospital staff directly involved in the study, may examine my medical records only as they relate to this project.
- At the end of the study, I may opt to continue to use Aurabox to store my imaging at no charge, or have my data permanently deleted.
