Enter your name and the practice access password. Your name is recorded with every photo, so use your own.
A short guide for staff. Takes about two minutes per patient.
The camera stays locked until a signed authorization is recorded. That is on purpose. If a patient has not signed, there is no photo.
Enter your name and the practice access password. Your name is recorded with every photo, so use your own.
Tap Open the consent form and hand the device to the patient.
They complete the form on the device. When they submit, the device comes straight back to the tool.
The reference fills in automatically. Tick the box to confirm the signed form is on file, then tap Unlock camera.
If this patient has not just signed, tap Start over with a different patient.
Tap Take a photo. Take as many as you need.
Every photo needs a short caption, up to 70 characters. It appears on the website and is read aloud by screen readers.
Keep captions general. No names, no initials, no dates of service, no diagnoses, no procedure details.
Review the photo. Tap Discard if you do not want it. When you are happy, tap Publish to website and confirm.
There is no review queue and no one checking afterwards. You are the only check. Look at each photo before you publish it.
Before photographing the next patient, tap Different patient. This clears the previous authorization so a photo cannot be published under the wrong one.
Private browsing stops the tool keeping your session, and the authorization reference will not come through.
Or close the tab. Your session ends either way.
Tap Open the consent form and have the patient submit again. Check you are not in a private browsing window.
Check the device has signal or wifi, then try again. If it keeps failing, tell [NAME].
Tell [NAME] straight away. It can be taken down, but it has to be done manually and the sooner the better.
Patients can withdraw permission at any time, in writing. Pass it to [NAME] the same day.
