Web-based standardized informed consent documents with pre- and postoperative instructions for more than 2,300 surgical procedures help ensure compliance with accreditation and regulatory requirements. The documents are embedded in a template that the American College of Surgeons (ACS) has reviewed and can be individualized to specific surgical routines.
The consents can be automatically stored in electronic health records or saved to the document management system. Preprocedure and discharge instructions along with patient education resources may be printed or e-mailed to patients to assist with meaningful use compliance. A free 30-day evaluation period of the ACS-reviewed iMedConsent™ application is available. View more information on informed consent, e-mail abruggeman@facs.org, or call 312-202-5263.
