The Value of Digital Consents & Intake Forms
Today more than ever, it’s vitally important to have access to digital documentation. It’s neither efficient nor effective to use paper consents and intake forms to scan and email to your patients.
Imagine you’re a patient receiving a virtual consultation. The doctor asks for your email address so he can send consent and intake forms for you to print, fill out, sign, scan and email back. As a patient, this feels inefficient, antiquated and time consuming.
“Even the most cutting edge practice, led by a world renowned physician, can quickly be seen as anything but “cutting edge”, simply because their practice lacks the ability to provide a digital solution to filling out and signing documents.”
Lexa Gillette, Director of Client Services at TouchMD
A seamless virtual consultation requires the ability to virtually and instantly sign documents. Today, patients expect an aesthetic practice to provide not only an enhanced experience when they visit in person, but an enhanced experience when they visit with you remotely, as well.
We are accustomed to using our phones to manage just about every aspect of our lives, as there are millions of apps at our fingertips. Patients now expect your practice to provide them with an app equiped to manage every aspect of their experience with you. This includes a user-friendly interface that allows your patients to easily sign, save and send documents in real time.
TouchMD provides its many thousands of medical practice partners with their own patient app, branded and tailored to their specific practice. The myTouchMD app not only allows patients to view their pictures and browse through services offered by the practice, but allows patients to sign consents and intake forms via the app, all in compliance with HIPAA.
Documents are delivered to the patient instantly via a push notification to their phone. As soon as the documents have been filled out by the patient, they are sent to the practice. TouchMD makes document signing seamless for the staff, doctor and, most importantly, for each and every patient.
Provide your patients with this simple value proposition: you're a progressive practice invested in your patient's virtual experience. Time is our most precious asset, there’s no point in wasting it with anything but a superior digital experience that serves both your practice and your patients.
