Consent and medical history forms: signed at reception

Patients sign on the tablet at reception, even without an email address. The sealed document goes into the file immediately, and nobody scans paper forms anymore.

Typical documents

Which document, which signature level?

From the intake form to self-pay services: every document at reception has the right signature level.

Document Signature level Note
Consent to data processing (GDPR) SES in person On the tablet at reception, right at check-in.
Medical history form SES In advance via link from home, or on the tablet in the waiting room.
Treatment information form SES in person Documented with a timestamp before treatment begins.
Fee agreement and self-pay services AES / QES Depending on the requirement; where statutory written form is required, QES is available.

Which level for what? See the overview on the page Signature levels, or to dig deeper: How in-person signing works .

Workflow

From check-in to the patient file, no scanner needed

Here is how patient intake runs once the paper form is gone:

01

Check-in at reception

Your team opens the prepared forms in kiosk mode and hands the tablet across the counter. No clipboard, no pen.

02

Signature on the tablet

The patient reads and signs with a finger or stylus, without an account and without an email address. Required fields are checked automatically.

03

Filing without detours

The sealed PDF with audit trail goes straight into the patient file, automated via the REST API if you like.

What this looks like in practice: A dental practice with three dentists hands every new patient the tablet: data protection consent and medical history are signed before the patient is called into the treatment room. Nobody scans paper forms anymore, and every consent is stored in the file with a timestamp, audit-proof.

FAQ

Questions from medical practices

Yes. Consent under the GDPR is not tied to any particular form, but it must be demonstrable: that is exactly what the audit trail with timestamp and completion certificate provides. Documenting that patients were informed about their treatment is also possible electronically.
