The Department of Veterans Affairs has renewed a contract to use informed consent software from Dialog Medical in its 158 hospitals.

The contract with the Atlanta-based vendor covers one base year with up to nine optional years. The VA signed its first contract in May 2004 and implemented the iMedConsent software in the hospitals by the end of 2005.

The software includes specific consent forms for more than 2,100 procedures and educational documents for thousands of diagnoses and treatments. The application also enables automation of patient documentation, such as HIPAA disclosures, advance directives, the capture of digital signatures and notations in the patient’s electronic health record.

More information is available at dialogmedical.com.
