The consent model was flawed and messy. So iConsentu fixed it. Developed by dentists, Leeds University and medico-legal advisors, iConsentu is the world’s first enhanced, informed method of consent. The aim is to ensure patients receive the most up to date treatment information in a manner that they can readily digest and fully understand to allow them to give valid informed consent. The application has been designed to test patients’ understanding of each procedure, using simple animation followed by a question and answer stage, allowing treatment to proceed in confidence. iConsentu is not another digitised paper document. Let’s get one thing clear: obtaining consent is not the problem. Every reputable dentist and medical practitioner already has a consent program in place. Why is it then, that so many legal cases against the practice fall down on proving consent? Practitioners can follow every other procedure to the letter, but if they are not able to provide a neat, transparent paper trail that demonstrates a clear level of consent, the case is flawed. Inform, educate and test. Those are the principles that form the basis of the iConsentu model. iConsentu elevates digital consent to give patients a unique, interactive user experience that is fully focused on patient education and understanding, leading to valid informed consent. The result? A dramatic reduction in the chance of litigation before it is even started, resulting in fewer insurance payouts and lower premiums.
