Get patient consent forms signed

Make consent forms, get them signed, and lock them with a clear record of what the patient agreed to.

The problem

  • Consent forms are printed, signed on paper, and rescanned, leaving gaps where the version signed cannot be matched to the version on file.
  • Partly completed or unsigned forms slip into records, creating disputes about exactly what a patient consented to.
  • Signed consent is often stored as an editable file, so there is no firm evidence the agreed text was not altered afterwards.

The workflow

One licensed pipeline chains these steps end to end. Each step is a tool you can try free on the public site.

  1. 1

    Build the consent form

    Create PDF form

    Create a fillable consent form for the procedure or data use, with the required acknowledgement and patient-detail fields.

  2. 2

    Complete patient details

    Fill PDF form

    Populate the patient's identifying and procedure-specific fields before the form is presented for signature.

  3. 3

    Capture the signature

    Sign PDF

    Record the patient's and clinician's signatures on the completed form at the point of consent.

  4. 4

    Fix the signed record

    Flatten form

    Flatten the form fields so the signed content is fixed and the values can no longer be edited.

  5. 5

    Lock the consent file

    Protect PDF

    Restrict editing and file the locked, signed consent to the patient record as the agreed version.

Why run it on-premise?

A consent form is both a clinical and a data-protection record, and the version a patient signed must be preserved intact. Capturing and locking consent on-premise keeps patient information within your network and gives you a fixed record of exactly what was agreed.

The Business suite ships as a self-hosted bundle that runs inside your own network, so the documents in this workflow never leave the building. See how deployment works.

Outcome

Each procedure has a complete, signed, and tamper-resistant consent record matched to the patient's file.
