When the EMR Components module is licensed, you can attach consent forms to a patient's appointment, have the patient sign it digitally, and store it for easy retrieval and viewing. You can link consent forms to appointment types, so that the correct form is attached to an appointment when it is scheduled. When the patient arrives for the appointment, you are prompted to complete the consent forms and obtain a signature.
EMR consent forms have one of three statuses:
Queued—Attached consent form has not been started or completed.
In Progress—Attached consent form has been started but not yet completed.
Complete—Attached consent form has been completed. Once a form is completed, you are prompted to lock the form.
