Practo introduces digital consent forms to improve healthcare experience

In a bid to improve the healthcare experience for patients, digital healthcare platform, Practo has announced the integration of consent forms into the Practo Ray Tab.

Consent forms are required to be signed for any surgical or cosmetic procedures to keep the patients aware of alternate treatments available without having to face any unfamiliar grievance post-surgery. Practo's latest initiative will ensure that patients sign the form before they undergo any treatment or surgery.

The feature is available across general, dental, dermatology and gynaecology practices. Clinics can customise the form as per their needs and create different consent forms based on different treatments.

The digital consent form available on Practo Tab - an all-in-one device empowering practice management and enhancing patient relationship management - is legally compliant and uses electronic signatures as per Sec 2 (ta) of Information Technology Act 2000. The digital forms are also tamper-proof; once signed, these forms cannot be changed/modified in any way.

Patients can easily register themselves using Practo Tab and fill details in their digital consent form making it easily accessible for doctors to view patients’ medical history.

The digital consent form will further strengthen the existing portfolio of services offered on Practo Tab including, patient registration, feedback, schedule management, billing etc. On the other hand, it will also help doctors to manage their clinic from anywhere as all information is available on the cloud and accessible offline as well as online.

“For the very first time consent forms have been given the digital makeover. With the integration of consent form on Practo Tab, we will be able to provide better tools to doctors and significantly improve patient’s healthcare experience. Digital consent forms will ensure that every healthcare provider has the required information readily accessible at their fingertips,” said Shashank ND, Founder & CEO, Practo.
