Contracts, documents and consent forms

A manager photographs the signed contract on a phone right next to the patient. The office reviews it and accepts it or sends it back with a comment. You see who is missing paperwork and which documents are about to expire.

How document tracking works in a CRM

Document tracking in a CRM answers one question: which patients have complete paperwork and which don't. In an inpatient facility or care home, every resident comes with a stack of papers. Without a system, a missing contract or consent form surfaces during an inspection or a dispute with the family.

Document types in 95sales CRM:

  • contract;
  • admission record;
  • hospital discharge summary;
  • passport or ID;
  • power of attorney;
  • consent to personal data processing;
  • receipt.

Every document is attached to the patient record, so nobody has to dig through a shared folder.

How a document gets reviewed: 4 steps

Document review in the CRM is a short loop between the manager and the office.

  1. The manager photographs the document with a phone at signing, or uploads a ready file.
  2. The office opens it and either accepts it or leaves a comment ("no signature on page 2", "unreadable").
  3. The manager gets the comment, fixes the issue and uploads again.
  4. The office marks whether the paper original is on file.

Every document gets a second pair of eyes. Managers see how many documents are waiting for review and who has open comments.

Document expiry dates

Some documents expire, such as a power of attorney. The CRM stores the end date, so you can see which documents will expire soon. That gives you time to ask a relative for a new one, instead of finding out at discharge or billing.

How documents are protected

IDs, powers of attorney and discharge summaries are personal data, sometimes health data. In 95sales CRM, access to documents is limited by roles and permissions that the server enforces. Every action on a document goes to the audit log, and deleted items go to the trash. For staff you can turn on a watermark, block copying and printing, and require two-factor authentication. For the legal side (GDPR and local law), see the guide on medical data protection.

Who it's for

  • Care homes and hospices: a contract, admission record, relative's power of attorney and hospital discharge summaries for every resident.
  • Rehab centers: a program contract, consent forms, and the hospital discharge summary before admission.
  • Private clinics: contracts and data processing consent forms.
  • Service businesses: client contracts and acceptance records in the client record.

How to get started

  1. Decide which documents every patient must have (usually a contract, ID and consent form).
  2. Install the CRM on managers' phones through the browser. See CRM on your phone.
  3. Assign someone in the office to review documents.
  4. Upload documents for current patients gradually, starting with contracts.
  5. Once a week, check documents with open comments and missing originals.

What it looks like on a manager's phone

Managers handle documents from their phones. The CRM installs from the browser to the home screen and opens like an app. The bottom menu shows sections for the user's role, and the "+" button gives quick actions.

A typical care home admission:

  1. A relative signs the contract and admission record on paper.
  2. The manager opens the patient record on a phone and photographs every page.
  3. Photos of the ID, power of attorney and hospital discharge summary go in the same place, if there are any.
  4. The office gets the documents for review without waiting for the papers to reach head office.
  5. When the originals arrive, the office flags "original on file".

FAQ

What clinics ask

Can I store patient contracts in a CRM?

Yes. Contracts, admission records, IDs, powers of attorney, consent forms and receipts are attached to the patient record. You upload a file or snap it with a phone camera.

Does the CRM support electronic signatures?

No, 95sales CRM has no e-signature. Documents are signed on paper, and the CRM keeps the photo and a flag showing the original is on file.

How do I check that a manager filed the paperwork correctly?

The office reviews every uploaded document. It accepts it or leaves a comment, and the manager fixes it and uploads again.

Does the CRM warn about expiring documents?

Documents with a validity period store an end date, so expiring documents are visible in advance.

Who can see patient IDs and documents?

Only staff whose role allows it. The server enforces permissions, and every action on a document is logged.
