Question 1

Are digital consent forms legally binding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, digital consent forms created with Standard Form are legally binding. They meet all requirements for electronic signatures under ESIGN and UETA laws, including proper authentication, intent to sign, and comprehensive audit trails.

Question 2

How do you ensure patient data security and HIPAA compliance?

Accepted Answer

We use end-to-end encryption, secure data centers, regular security audits, and maintain strict HIPAA compliance with BAAs. All patient data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.

Question 3

Can patients complete consent forms on their mobile devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our consent forms are fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. Patients can easily complete and sign forms on smartphones or tablets, making the process convenient and accessible.

Question 4

How does the EHR integration work?

Accepted Answer

We are working to integrate with major EHRs through secure APIs. Once a patient completes a consent form, the data automatically syncs to their medical record, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. Let us know which EHR you are on, and we can work on that first.

Question 5

What happens if a patient needs to update their consent?

Accepted Answer

Patients can accept or deny the consent when first presented. However, once accepted, they must contact you directly as the healthcare provider if they later wish to withdraw consent, as this prompts for further discussion.

Question 6

Can I customize consent forms for different procedures?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Standard Form offers fully customizable consent forms.

Question 7

How long are consent forms stored and can I access historical records?

Accepted Answer

Consent forms are stored for 6 years and until 1 year after the minor reaches the age of 18, subject to local regulation. You have full access to historical records with advanced search and filtering capabilities for easy retrieval during audits or patient care and they are also stored.

Question 8

What support do you provide during implementation?

Accepted Answer

We provide comprehensive onboarding support including form migration, staff training, EHR integration setup, and ongoing technical support. Our team ensures a smooth transition from paper or existing digital forms.
