Consent form
What a consent form is at a med spa or a clinic, and what software does with a signed one.
Updated
Consent form: A consent form is the document a client signs before a treatment to record that they were told what it involves, including its risks, and agreed to it. It belongs to one treatment, unlike an intake form, which covers the person. The practice and its advisers write the wording. Online, the form is read and signed on a phone before the visit, and the signed copy is stored on the client's record with the date and time, where the provider can read it before the appointment.
Where it shows up
Consent forms show up at med spas, clinics and any practice where a treatment carries risk. On paper they are signed at the desk; online they arrive as a link after booking.
In software the form itself is rarely the hard part. Keeping each signed copy with the exact wording it was signed under, and flagging a treatment that has none, is what takes care.
