How SIGNUM works
Medical assistant hands patient an iPad or tablet.
Medical assistant hands patient an iPad or tablet.
Patient watches videos that clearly explain the procedure they are about to undergo, including the risks and benefits.
Patient is still given the opportunity to talk to the doctor, and need be, ask any questions.
Patient and doctor sign the digital version of the hospital’s consent form.
Signed consent goes straight into EHR.
Procedure is ready to begin.
Doctors like SIGNUM because it relieves them from a time-consuming and repetitive task so they can do what they get paid to do: practice medicine.
Patients like SIGNUM because understanding the procedure puts them at ease and fosters a postive experience, which in turn, contributes to better outcomes.
Hospitals like SIGNUM because it is an iron clad consent. They know that each patient is being consented consistently with the same vetted information.
“ In contrast to EHR’s…I am not aware of any good coupling of educational content with collecting consent. Signum really does that…it puts your mind at ease in terms of risk management around procedures.”
“ Feedback from our study patients suggests that they have a much better understanding of what they are going to participate in than they would have had if they just read words on a page...they can see what it will be like to partake in the research.”
