Electronic Capture of Patient Signatures
Managing patient consent forms is a critical piece of the check-in process. Patagonia Health’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) features an optional, built-in Electronic Patient Consent Form Builder. This feature can be used either with a Topaz signature pad, touch screen, or mouse for direct sign by the patient and provider for various forms, either at the time of check-in or in a clinical setting.
Patagonia Health’s electronic consent forms help save staff time on scanning in multiple paper copies per client.
