Securely document patient information
Before medical treatment, patients must be fully informed about the planned procedure and its necessity, as well as possible complications and the type and severity of the procedure. Possible treatment alternatives and individual peculiarities are also to be addressed. Without complete clarification, there can be no informed consent and the intervention is illegal. Information sheets support the doctor-patient discussion. They contain a comprehensive description of the procedure, a medical history and documentation section, and also a declaration of consent.
- Over 2000 information sheets from more than 30 specialty areas in up to 16 languages are available to you.
- Our network of medical authors and legal consultants guarantees you always have medically and legally up-to-date educational content.
- Professional societies and associations recommend the information sheets from Thieme Compliance.
FAQ: Information sheets
In order to avoid duplicate content in the future, we are streamlining our offering. Here is an overview.
What do I have to consider when providing information to patients?
According to the will of the legislature, the Patient Rights Act strengthens, among other things, the rights of patients, creates transparency, and improves patient education. Copies of documents that the patient has signed to indicate they have been informed and given consent must be handed in. Subsequent additions must be recognizable in every case. Under no circumstances should you hand in only part of an information sheet. If patients should forego handing in any forms, this should also be carefully documented. You can find more information on the Patient Rights Act here.
How do I handle copying information sheets?
You are allowed to copy a completed and signed information sheet and give it to your patient. This is not for profit. You can print out the information sheet in the online shop or in the basic module of the E-ConsentPro software. How to handle copies of the sheet remains the same. With the additional module E-ConsentPro Mobile, the doctor and patient can sign on a mobile device. You can print out the signed information sheet for the patient and your document will be archived electronically.
Where can I find what in the information sheet?
The explanation section of the information sheet contains a comprehensive and comprehensible description of the procedure and its necessity. Patients are informed about possible extensions, risks and complications, as well as given information on what to do before and after the procedure.
In the medical history section, general information (age, height, etc.) is requested. In addition, the state of health, relevant previous illnesses, and possible allergies are recorded.
Medical comments on the consultation are recorded in the documentation section. The declaration of consent is also included here. With their consent, patients confirm that a consultation with a doctor has taken place and that they feel they prepared for the procedure.
