DocuSign, the leader in electronic signature and contract lifecycle management solutions, and Velatura, one of the nation’s premier multi-jurisdictional health information exchanges (HIE) and health data utilities (HDU) recently announced a groundbreaking pilot project that will streamline the patient consent form capture process for protected health information (PHI).
Sharing patient information is crucial for delivering quality healthcare. Individuals and their providers share information with each other to diagnose, treat, and coordinate care. However, federal and state laws require health care providers to receive a signature consent from a patient in order to share sensitive data, including mental health records or information on treatment or referrals related to alcohol and substance use disorder. The partnership between DocuSign and Velatura aims to streamline processes for consent collection and management, while improving care coordination for patients and providers alike. Removing this administrative burden leaves more time for clinical consultation and decision making.
In a webinar sponsored by DocuSign, scheduled for April 16th at 1 pm ET, executives from DocuSgn and Velatura will discuss how their partnership modernizes and facilitates the efficient and secure completion of the patient consent form. For patients, this translates to convenience, empowerment and a smoother patient experience. They can securely e-sign their consent forms on any device at their own pace and gain a clearer understanding of which parts of their health information are being shared and with whom. Providers benefit from administrative efficiency in process and use of auditable technology tools, reduced paperwork, faster access to critical patient information and ensured HIPAA compliance.
Ultimately, this innovative approach facilitates intuitive workflows for providers, leading to enhanced care coordination and improved patient outcomes, resulting in:
- An improved patient experience
- Optimized data management with reduction in errors and manual entry
- Standardization across complex consent forms across the healthcare ecosystem
Panelists for the webinar include:
- MJ Jackson, DocuSign
- Angie Bass, Velatura
- Aneesh Chopra, CareJourney
