Consent forms
The main purpose of the informed consent process is to protect the patient. A consent form is a legal document that ensures an ongoing communication process between the patient and the health care provider.In Hcare software, we
have a module that helps in dealing with these consent forms.
This module provides the feature of creating forms by users.
