Setting up your own panel

Some centres are using a minimal data sheet to summarize the parameters of their cases. To download the sheet, please click here.

Informed Consent

Although CPMS is a secure platform that complies to European data protection regulations, it is mandatory to gain informed consent from your patients before uploading their data to the platform. If there should still be concerns regarding data protection issues, you may enter anonymized patient data. Medical files usually get anonymized automatically by the system.
Patient consent forms for data sharing in all European languages can be downloaded from the CPMS system when opening a new patient record (Centre -> Enrol Patient -> Download Model Consent Forms).
The filled consent forms will remain in your centre.
