At a Glance
Paperless consent forms replace printed consent with digital forms clients complete and sign on a device, stored automatically against their record. They remove filing, speed up check-in, and give clinics an instant, auditable consent history. ClinicSoftware.com captures consent digitally and keeps it linked to each client and treatment.
What are paperless consent forms?
Paperless consent forms are digital versions of your consent documents that clients complete and sign on a tablet or their own device. There is no printing, scanning or filing. ClinicSoftware.com stores each signed form against the client automatically.
How do paperless consent forms speed up check-in?
Clients can complete consent before they arrive, so treatment starts on time instead of filling in forms at the desk. Completed forms are already on file when the client walks in.
How does going paperless improve compliance?
Every signed form is timestamped and stored in one place, so you can retrieve a client's full consent history instantly. That is far easier to evidence than a paper filing cabinet.
