Dr. Erin Stubblefield from the KMC University HelpDesk discusses the use of digital consent forms for chiropractors, highlighting that informed consent is more than just obtaining a signature; it’s about clear communication with patients regarding their treatment options. With the legal backing of the ESIGN Act and UETA, chiropractors can use electronic signatures as long as they comply with state laws and HIPAA regulations.
