From the hospital’s perspective, a pre-anesthesia consultation costs approximately 60 to 85 € in full costs, ranging from 30 to 140 € depending on the hospital and the case. When patient time is factored in, the total societal costs range from 130 to 180 € per case. To date, there has been no systematic, published…
With medudoc, a digital informed consent form is not created by selecting a suitable template from a library, but is generated automatically from upstream data: medical history, type of procedure, and individual risk profile are combined to produce a patient-specific Informed Consent Sheet (IC Sheet). The form is thus the end product of a data…
A liability claim rarely reaches a hospital on the day of the procedure. It often comes years later: A patient claims she was not informed about a specific complication. The medical record contains a signed informed consent form. For many hospitals, this feels like a safe bet. Legally, however, that is not necessarily the case—and…
The Mallampati classification is a visual examination of the oral cavity performed by a trained professional directly on a seated patient—it cannot be assessed using a digital questionnaire. medudoc therefore supports airway assessment in the areas where intelligent digital medical history-taking excels: in the structured collection of medical history and in providing early, personalized information…
Anyone evaluating the digitization of Patient Education forms in a hospital today cannot avoid one question: Which level of electronic signature ( e-signature) is legally sufficient—and which represents an unnecessary burden? The answer determines whether a QES rollout with qualified identification of each patient is necessary, or whether an advanced electronic signature meets the legal…
Factors to Consider When Selecting Digital Patient Registration Software Anyone responsible for IT security at a hospital is familiar with this situation: A department or the administrative leadership wants to implement a new cloud solution. The provider’s sales materials are professionally designed. ISO 27001 is mentioned somewhere—sometimes as a logo, sometimes as a sentence. What…
Imagine a patient with a known penicillin allergy who, prior to an elective cholecystectomy, receives an informed consent form that, under “Drug Side Effects,” makes a general reference to possible allergic reactions—without any mention of the patient’s specific allergy, without any mention of the planned anesthesia method, and without specific recommendations regarding preoperative measures. The…
A form collects data. An intelligent medical history tool organizes the data, checks for completeness, and determines the next clinical step based on that information.
Preoperative counseling prior to a scheduled surgery is one of the most fundamental medical procedures. It is legally required, medically necessary, and at the same time one of the most time-consuming parts of the preoperative admission process. In many hospitals, this process still largely takes place the same way it did twenty years ago: handwritten…
The structural weaknesses of preoperative processes have been known for years – and yet they persist. Fragmented processes, incomplete information at the time of pre-anaesthesia, high manual effort and legal uncertainties continue to characterize everyday life in many facilities. Especially in an area that is so sensitive in terms of medicine, organization and liability law,…
