Inquiry to collect signed consent from patients

Hi, we're checking the option to integrate a digitally signed consent by patients, that wish to perform our genetic tests. 

The process i think of is to send a link to the email/SMS that will direct them to a secure page where they fill in some details, read the consent text, agree and sign. 

Then we should ideally get a notification or if not possible poll for changes and be able get the signed file.

The process must be HIPAA compliant. 

thanks, 

Hi Ornan,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Jotform supports HIPAA-compliant accounts and forms, which are served from an isolated HIPAA system to ensure high-level security for protected health information (PHI).

For your use case, you can use Jotform Sign to collect signatures from patients digitally. Let me show you how:

2. Click on Upload Document to upload your own document from your device.
3. Drag and drop your document into the Upload box, or click on Upload Document to select it.
4. Once you add your document, click on the Create Signable Document button.

After you create your document, you’ll see an option asking whether to detect fields automatically. To detect fields automatically:

1. Click the Detect Fields button in the option that appears below the green navigation bar.
2. After it matches the suitable elements with the spaces, click on Keep All.
3. If you want to delete a field, just click on it and then click the Trash Can icon below it.

Or you can manually match your fields:

1. Click on the Dismiss button in the option that appears below the green navigation bar.
2. In the Document Elements menu on the left, drag and drop the elements to your document.
