Hecton Project Launches 'Doctor's Sign,' an Automated Consent Form Solution

[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Hecton Project, a hospital-level EMR (Electronic Medical Record) solution company, announced on the 4th that it has launched the fully automated consent form solution ‘DoctorsSign (SIGN)’.

The electronic consent form is a solution that replaces paper documents within hospitals with electronic forms, allowing documents to be created, distributed, stored, and managed using smart devices such as tablets, touch monitors, and sign pads. According to current laws, doctors must sufficiently explain medical procedures to patients and obtain written consent. By replacing the existing paper consent forms with DoctorsSign, the details of the consent guidance provided to patients and the patients’ electronic signatures are securely stored on the hospital server via the network.

In particular, medical staff can faithfully explain the contents of consent forms for examinations, surgeries, procedures, etc., to patients using various smart devices, thereby improving patients’ understanding of the consent forms and reducing potential legal risks.

Additionally, DoctorsSign is expected to help ▲ improve efficiency in consent form management ▲ eliminate storage space for paper consent forms and reduce the risk of loss ▲ reduce printing and production costs of consent forms.

The company explained that it focused on user experience (UX) so that medical staff who are not familiar with IT technology can easily use the solution, enabling anyone at the reception desk and wards to use it easily. Furthermore, to reduce the burden of purchasing smart devices, an option combining DoctorsSign and smart device usage fees is available, and a pricing system has been prepared that allows free device replacement in case of device-related issues.

Lee Dong-dae, Vice President of Hecton Project, said, “Fully automated consent forms, which are widely used in advanced and general hospitals, are also in high demand in small and medium-sized hospitals. We will meet the demand of small and medium-sized hospitals using Doctors EMR and provide it at an affordable cost to help digitalize hospital operations.”
