Webinar overview
Are questions over the affordability of implementing digital consent misplaced? Isn’t the real question, can they afford the risk of not doing so?
Topics covered and learning objectives:
- benchmark key comparisons between traditional paper consent and digital consent
- outline from experience, organisational, healthcare clinicians/professionals and patient’s benefits including cost/time saving, clinical error reduction and comprehensive patient/family procedure understanding
- clarify avoidable risks, potential outcomes and impacts from not digitising (or delaying) the process
- give financial, operational and cultural perspectives, to help address known organisational challenges plus wider stakeholder’s misunderstandings or resistance
