Paperless urological patient education – in practice and hospital
From vasectomy in the practice to TURP in the hospital, every patient receives patient education that fits the procedure. medudoc handles the medical history, patient education video, consent sheet and consent digitally. Paper forms that have to be scanned or typed up are no longer needed.
Practice and hospital
Three areas of use, one workflow
Urological procedures take place in the practice and in the hospital, as outpatient and inpatient procedures. medudoc maps all of them with the same steps – adapted to the specific procedure.
Procedures in the practice
Patients prepare for vasectomy, circumcision, cystoscopy or prostate biopsy at home. They sign forms electronically.
- Access via QR code or link, no app
- Medical history captured in advance in a structured form instead of typed up
- One PDF/A per procedure instead of scanned consent sheets
Operations with anaesthesia
For TURP, TURBT, ureterorenoscopy or percutaneous stone therapy, urology and anaesthesia both inform the patient. medudoc combines both consent processes in one workflow.
- One questionnaire for urology and anaesthesia
- Anaesthesia technique in the same consent sheet
- Notable responses flagged in the HCP Dashboard
Therapies and catheter care
There are separate consent sheets for instillation therapy, androgen deprivation therapy and the placement of bladder catheters.
- A separate consent sheet for each therapy
- Optional medudoc patient account for further treatments
- All signed documents in the patient portal
On site or telemedical
The consent discussion where it fits
Whether a telemedical consent discussion is sufficient is decided by the physician, depending on the procedure and risk profile. Both paths start with the same preparation at home.
Consent discussion by phone or video
For plannable procedures with low risk, when the physician considers a telemedical consent discussion sufficient.

Voices from urology
“For both our practice team and our patients, the application is extremely user-friendly and efficient. In particular, the practice no longer has the effort previously required for scanning and filling in forms manually. The associated elimination of paperwork leads to a significant simplification of internal processes.”
Rosemarie KubernusPractice Management, Deine Urologie“We can recommend the system to any practice, as it brings a noticeable reduction in workload while saving valuable time.”
