Consent Forms

Eliminate the clutter of paper files and the risk of lost consent forms. Alphatic provides a legally-binding, digital-first approach to informed consent.

  1. Template Selection: From the clinical screen, select a procedure-specific consent form (e.g., "Dental Implant Surgery", "General Anesthesia", "Teeth Whitening").
  2. Patient Review: Hand the clinic tablet to the patient. They can read the terms, risks, and clinical caveats in their preferred language.
  3. Witness Signature: For major surgeries, you can add a field for a witness or spouse's signature.
  4. E-Signature: The patient signs directly on the screen using their finger or a stylus.
  5. Seal and Time-Stamp: Once signed, the document is "Sealed" – it cannot be edited. Alphatic applies a cryptographic time-stamp and saves it as a PDF linked to the patient's ID.

Go to Settings > Content > Consent Templates:

  • Merge Tags: Use dynamic tags like {{patient_name}} or {{doctor_name}} to ensure each form is personalized.
  • Multi-lingual Support: Add translations for the same form. The patient can toggle the language on the signature screen.

Version Control

If medical laws change and you update your consent language, Alphatic maintains "Version History". Historical records remain linked to the version of the form the patient actually signed.

Portal Delivery

A copy of the signed consent is automatically uploaded to the patient's secure portal for their reference, ensuring complete transparency.
