Important to note the ability to personalise consent information based on the individual.
Generic patient information, whilst clearly having a role, has in many cases also reduced patient engagement due to a feeling of some/much of the information not being relevant in the patient’s particular scenario.
Digital consent solutions look as if they are tackling that challenge, by making it easy for clinicians to personalise evidence-based accessible patient information, and bring this consent information and ‘consent form’ together into one, as it should be, rather than 2 separate - often contradictory - documents. I know there are lots of places that have introducdd Concentric recently.
This is a really good and important point. When creating patient information on a large scale this can be challenging but I agree that to increase engagement it's a key consideration.
EIDO's digital consent platform allows this, with the option for both the patient and the clinician to make notes on individual patient information leaflets and consent forms. These become part of the patient record for that particular procedure meaning they can be referred to both in the lead up to the procedure and afterwards.
