Healthcare

Consent forms, service agreements, and telehealth session terms signed electronically. The patient signs right at the front desk, through the link, and the document reaches the clinic's vault without ever touching paper.

The clinic's everyday documents

From the front desk to the patient's discharge: what clinics, practices, hospitals and labs send for signature most.

Consent forms

The patient, or whoever answers for them, acknowledges the risks and authorizes the procedure in writing: informed consent signed right at the front desk.

Service agreements

Treatment plan, fees and responsibilities agreed between clinic and patient. Each party signs through their own link, at the counter or at home.

Telehealth session terms

Patients seen remotely accept the conditions of the appointment in the phone's browser, and the online session starts with the agreement documented.

Data processing consent

The consent that the LGPD, Brazil's data-protection law, requires for personal and health data becomes a signed, filed document. Who authorized it, and when, stays proven.

Health plan and payer agreements

Credentialing with health plans and payers is formalized between the two companies: one envelope gathers the signatures from both sides.

Practitioner credentialing

Physicians, dentists and therapists who see patients at the clinic sign the partnership terms from wherever they are. Administration stops chasing anyone with paper.

Admission terms

At admission, the person responsible takes on the commitments of the hospital stay in writing, with each signature's date and time on record.

Medical history forms

The patient fills in the medical history and their personal details while signing the form: whatever fields the clinic configures come back structured, ready for the chart.

A consent form, from the front desk to the clinic's vault

How the clinic's most-signed document moves through Signater, in three steps.

  1. The front desk builds the form

    The consent form's template has the wording ready: whoever is at the desk fills in patient and procedure on a single-screen form and the document is generated on the spot.

  2. The patient signs at the counter

    The link opens on the clinic's own device, in in-person mode. The patient reviews the form, validates their identity with the configured factors and signs before going in for the procedure.

  3. The visit stays documented

    The certificate of completion consolidates who signed, when and with which validations, and the form is filed in the clinic's vault, visible only to the area with access.

The patient's identity proven at the counter

Factors configured per signer help prove that whoever signed is the patient on file. Every recorded validation becomes evidence in the envelope's certificate of completion.

In-person signing

Generate the link on the clinic's own device and collect the signature on the spot, with the patient still at the counter. It is the front desk's natural mode.

Selfie with liveness detection

The browser's camera captures the selfie with active liveness detection, gestures like blinking and smiling verified on the device itself. The photo enters the certificate of completion as visual evidence of the act.

Sender password

A code the clinic sets and tells the patient during the visit. The signature only moves forward with the correct password, a simple confirmation for people face to face.

Built to integrate

Your EHR triggers consent forms through the API and receives the signed consent by webhook, tied to the patient.

Frequently asked questions

Can the patient sign on the spot, right at the front desk?

Yes, with in-person signing: you generate the link on the clinic's own device and the patient signs right there, with no app to install and without depending on their phone.

Our forms are standardized. Do I have to build the document again for every patient?

No. Turn each form into a template: the fixed wording stays ready and typed fields mark what varies, such as patient and procedure. Issuing is a single-screen form, and every change to the model generates a new version, with the envelope recording which version was signed.

Can I restrict access to documents by area?

Yes, with group vaults: you choose which users join each vault, and only they see the documents in it. Front desk, billing and clinical management can have separate vaults, and whoever is outside the group has no access.

I see patients remotely. How do I collect the telehealth terms before the appointment?

By sending the invitation by email or SMS: the patient opens the link and signs in the phone's browser, with nothing to install. You get a real-time notification when they finish, and automatic reminders chase whoever hasn't signed yet.

Is an electronically signed consent form legally valid?

Yes. Electronic signature laws such as the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA make electronic signatures legally binding, and the EU's eIDAS regulation recognizes them across Europe. Signater produces an advanced electronic signature based on a digital certificate, in the PAdES standard, and the certificate of completion gathers the evidence of who signed, when, from where and with which validations.

How is the patient's health data protected?

Intake forms and consent terms stay in the envelope, with access controlled by vault and a record of who viewed what. Encryption and controls are covered on the Security page.

Who signs when the patient is a minor or lacks legal capacity?

The legal guardian signs as an identified signer: the validation records who they are, and the form can note their relationship to the patient in the document's fields.
