Increase Efficiency with Digital Informed Surgical Consent.
Hospitals and clinics can be confident that patients have completed their informed surgical consent in advance of surgery. Patients can independently review a consent video, read an online surgical informed consent form, or complete their eConsent by digitally signing — freeing up valuable clinical and administrative time.
Consent pathways can be customised for informed surgical consent and anaesthesia, with options ranging from digital medical consent forms to video-based education. Automated reminders and alerts notify hospital teams when consent has not been provided, ensuring timely follow-up and safer care.
Improve Patient Confidence with Accessible Surgical Informed Consent Forms
Patients receive timely, clear information for surgery or anaesthesia without the stress of signing informed consent forms at the last minute.
Digital surgical informed consent forms and educational videos are accessible on any device, helping patients feel informed, confident, and prepared. Hospitals reduce medico-legal risk with secure eConsent solutions that ensure patients understand the procedure. And with Personify Care’s proxy feature, guardians can easily provide informed surgical consent for minors.
Comprehensive Informed Surgical Consent Experience for Patients
Clinical and administrative teams can easily inform patients about their surgery and collect informed surgical consent, anaesthesia consent, and financial consent forms — all in one secure digital workflow.

Informed surgical consent is the process of ensuring patients understand the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a surgical procedure before agreeing to it. It protects patient rights and helps hospitals deliver safe, ethical care.
Why is informed surgical consent important?
Informed surgical consent ensures patients make confident, voluntary decisions about surgery. For hospitals, it reduces medico-legal risk and provides clear documentation that the patient has agreed to the procedure.
