The Workflow

Thirty seconds to start. Twenty minutes to finish.

GetConsent is designed to disappear into your existing workflow. Clinicians spend less time on admin, patients spend less time confused, and everyone ends up with a consent record that actually means something.

What your team sees

01

Create a session in under 30 seconds

From the Consents list, click New session. Select the consent template, whether knee arthroscopy, colonoscopy, shoulder repair, or any custom template your practice has configured. Enter the patient name and MRN. The system sends an SMS and email invitation automatically.

You never touch the process again until the patient submits. At that point, you receive an in-platform notification and a countersignature request.

Track progress in real time

The Consents list shows every session at a glance. Status badges update automatically: Draft, In Progress, Submitted, Completed. Filter by status, search by patient name or MRN, and click through for full detail including the live audit trail.

If a patient has not opened the invitation after 48 hours, the platform flags the session for follow-up and sends a polite reminder automatically.

Countersign and complete

When the patient submits, you receive a notification. Open the session, review their answers and the comprehension check results, then apply your digital signature. The system generates the evidence pack immediately.

The completed PDF is filed to the patient record, the hash chain is sealed, and the session moves to Completed. Total clinician time: under 90 seconds.

What your patients experience

Designed for a mobile phone, in plain language, on the patient's own time. No app download required.

01

Receive invitation

A short SMS and email arrive with a secure link. No login, no password. The link is authenticated by a one-time code the patient enters on their phone.

SMS from: GetConsent "Your consent form for Knee Arthroscopy is ready. Open it here: [link]. Expires in 72 hours."

02

Read section by section

The procedure, risks, alternatives, and what to expect are each presented as a separate section. Plain language. No medical jargon without explanation.

Each section ends with a comprehension check: one question, four options. The patient must answer correctly before advancing.

03

Sign and submit

The patient draws their signature on the phone screen, reviews their answers one final time, and submits. The evidence pack is generated immediately.

If the patient cannot finish in one sitting, their progress is saved. They return via the same secure link and continue where they left off.

Output

The evidence pack

Every completed session generates a tamper-evident PDF evidence pack. It contains the patient's answers, the comprehension check results, both signatures, and a full audit table with event timestamps and SHA-256 hashes.

The hash chain in the audit table means any tampering with the record after generation is mathematically detectable. The pack stands as valid evidence in medico-legal proceedings.
