AHRQ’s Easy-to-Understand Telehealth Consent Form | Agency for Health Research and Quality

As the COVID-19 crisis has forced healthcare providers to limit in-person visits, telehealth has expanded rapidly. Responding to the need to obtain informed consent from patients for virtual visits, AHRQ has created a sample telehealth consent form that is easy to understand and guidance for clinicians on how to obtain informed consent for telehealth.

Easy-to-understand telehealth consent forms are helpful, even if you are obtaining consent verbally.
