Consent gaps create liability
Aesthetic procedures require informed consent for every treatment. Paper forms get lost, unsigned forms go unnoticed, and there's no audit trail when a patient dispute arises.
Lost paper forms
Paper consent forms misfiled or destroyed after years create an inability to prove informed consent was obtained when a dispute surfaces later.
Sessions starting without consent
Without a mandatory consent gate, clinical staff can open sessions before the patient has signed — a compliance failure that creates legal exposure.
No version control
When a consent form template is updated, there's no record of which version a patient signed — making it impossible to prove what disclosures they received.
