Abstract

Electronic consent is a technology-driven approach that remains challenging in various healthcare settings. Transitioning from paper-based to electronic consent (e-consent) has streamlined the consent process. This scoping review explores patients' electronic consent in different healthcare settings. We searched four databases and selected 14 studies that met our inclusion criteria. Our results show that E-consent is associated with key measures such as sufficient information, accuracy, enhanced shared decision-making, and efficiency. The majority of studies used a comparative design model to contrast paper-based consent with E-consent. Our findings provide an overview of the current state of E-consent use in healthcare settings.
