E-consent
To improve our consent process so that the Trust meets the National standards for obtaining patient’s consent as well as supporting patient decision making about their treatment, The Dudley Group are using a new digital consent application by Concentric Health.
We expect to see the following benefits from E-Consent:
- Accessible and convenient – can be used remotely, saves time and effort
- Quicker to process and reduces delays in obtaining consent
- Facilitates General Medical Council recommended two stage consenting
- Improves patient engagement – multi-media and interactive features can enhance comprehension and patient engagement with a better experience
- Eco-friendly – no paper usage so it contributes to environmental conversation and aligns with sustainability goals, highlighting the Trust’s commitment to ecological footprint
- Helps maintain a reliable audit trail for the Trust to see how consent was given
