Penn Medicine's electronic patient facing portal, "MyChart by myPennMedicine (MPM)" can be used for consenting research participants when appropriate.

Consider these before choosing:

• This method is recommended for studies involving Penn Medicine patients with active MPM accounts.  
• Consent form can be built into MPM and sent to patient 
• Direct messaging back and forth with the patient using MPM
• Tool can provide consent and then engage in survey or other activities within MPM, like questionnaires.
• Tool is HIPAA compliant, communications live within the patient's medical record.
• This method is not advisable if your study or patient requires their Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) to consent. 
• There is no cost associated 
• Research study must be built in PennChart before using this method to consent.
