# Request Consent

A **Consent Form** in healthcare is a legal document that ensures a patient agrees to receive specific medical treatments or procedures. It confirms that the patient has been informed about their condition, treatment options, potential risks, and benefits, allowing them to make educated decisions regarding their care.

In Unite EMR, the **Request Consent** option allows staff to manage the **Consent Form** effectively. The various statuses of the consent form are detailed below.

{% hint style="info" %}
To create and map a consent form for the clinic, see [**Create Form Builder**](/uniteemr/master-modules/consent-form/consent-form-builder/create-consent-form.md) and [**Consent Form Mapping**](/uniteemr/master-modules/consent-form/consent-form-mapping.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
When a [Consent Form ](/uniteemr/master-modules/consent-form/consent-form-mapping.md)is mapped to a **Procedure**, **Appointment**, or **Visit**, it is sent to the patient’s registered email address for review and signature, and its status can be tracked in [**Shared Forms Status**](/uniteemr/application-modules/shared-forms-status.md) screen.

If this feature is not enabled, use the [**Request Digital Consent**](/uniteemr/application-modules/patient-queue/front-desk-queue/more-actions/request-consent.md), [**Print Consent Form**](/uniteemr/application-modules/patient-queue/front-desk-queue/more-actions/request-consent/print-consent-form.md), or [**Edit and Print Consent Form**](/uniteemr/application-modules/patient-queue/front-desk-queue/more-actions/request-consent/edit-and-print-consent.md).
{% endhint %}
