The consent problem isn't One Problem. It’s Three.

Hospitals manage consent across disconnected systems, uncontrolled forms, and undocumented data collection. Each gap is a compliance exposure and they compound.

Certinal fills the gap between all three

Consent workflows, document signatures, rights tracking, template governance, evidence packs, and compliance reporting — one system of record for healthcare’s regulatory reality.

Consent is still on paper

Surgical consent, treatment authorization, clinical trials — captured on paper, filed by hand, version-uncontrolled. One misfiled form delays an OR, triggers an audit finding, or opens a malpractice claim.

Patient data is collected without
governance

Patients hand over demographics, insurance, and medical history on a clipboard. No documented consent purpose. No audit chain. No record of what they agreed to.

There's no single source of truth

Consent lives in one system. Signatures in another. Intake in a third. Credentialing in a fourth. No consolidated audit trail. Every gap is a compliance risk.

Consent — captured, signed, governed, and proven

Surgical consent, treatment authorization, clinical trials — captured, signed, and filed to the patient chart before anyone has to ask where it is. Every event audit-trailed. Every document court-admissible.

Informed consent workflows

Surgical, clinical trial, telehealth, and general treatment consent. Launches inside your EHR. Procedure-specific forms auto-matched to the scheduled encounter. Consent status visible to the care team in real time.

Digital patient intake

Pre-visit registration from any device. Demographics pre-populate from the EHR. Every data point tied to a documented consent purpose.

Digital forms library

Version-controlled repository for clinical, administrative, and departmental forms. Outdated versions auto-retired. Joint Commission and DNV ready.

Electronic signatures

Legally binding, tamper-evident, time-stamped. Signer identity verified at capture. Full chain-of-custody from signature to storage. HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11, and CMS-0053-F compliant.
