Abstract

In this study, paper-based surgical consent is demonstrated to have significant errors of omission and legibility. These errors were improved by the introduction of a procedure-specific, patient-bespoke, semi-digital consent form application. Patient-reported experience of their involvement in shared decision-making is described for paper-based consent and the implications of future digital consent are discussed.
