Consistent consent forms
Reusable templates help organizations present a consistent consent document while still collecting structured information such as names, contact details and additional questions.
Digital consent management guide
What is digital consent management?
Digital consent management is the process of creating, presenting, signing and organizing consent records electronically instead of relying on disconnected paper forms and manual filing.
A connected workflow
From consent form to organized record
1. Create
Prepare reusable consent templates and
collect the information you actually need.
2. Present
Share consent with an individual, a group
or through a signing station.
3. Sign
Let the signer review the consent and
complete the required information.
4. Record
Keep completed consent records organized
for later review and export.
The concept
Digital consent is more than a signature on a screen.
A complete digital consent process connects the information a person reviews, the questions they answer, the signature they provide and the resulting consent record. Keeping those parts together makes the workflow easier to manage than separate paper forms, spreadsheets and email attachments.
Clear signing workflows
A signer can review the consent, provide the requested information and complete the signing process without the organization having to move data between several disconnected tools.
Organized consent records
Completed records can be reviewed later and exported when an organization needs a practical record of the consent activity it has collected.
How eConsent supports the workflow
One place for the main stages of consent collection.
eConsent brings consent creation, electronic signing, signing stations and consent records into one workflow so organizations can spend less time moving information between paper files and separate systems.
Consent templates
Build reusable consent documents and structured questions for recurring workflows.
Electronic signatures
Give signers a digital path to review and complete a consent record.
Signing stations
Use a shared signing workflow when consent is being collected in person.
Consent records and exports
Review completed records and export consent data when the information needs to be used elsewhere.
When it is useful
Digital consent management fits recurring consent workflows.
It is particularly useful when an organization repeatedly needs to present clear information, collect consent and retain an organized record of what was completed.
In-person consent
Signing stations can support reception desks, offices, events and other locations where people complete consent on site.
Individual consent
A consent workflow can be prepared for one person without requiring a physical form to be printed, signed and filed manually.
Repeated organizational workflows
Reusable templates help reduce repeated document preparation when similar consent is collected regularly.
