EIDO Healthcare was established in June 2000 in response to the growing need in the UK healthcare sector for improvements in the informed consent process.

The word "EIDO" itself emphasises the reasons behind our establishment. "EIDO" is an ancient Greek word meaning to see completely; to understand or become aware; to be conscious or informed of - in essence, this is our raison d'etre.

We believe that informed consent should be a process, based on discussion and dialogue - rather than a just a signature on a piece of paper.

Patients need to be properly informed so that they can share in the decision-making process.

Clinicians need support in order to provide timely and comprehensive information to their patients.

The answer is Comprehensive Consent™ - a set of tools designed to meet the informed consent needs of patients and health professionals.

• INFOrm4U - a library of treatment-specific informed consent patient information documents that improve the doctor-patient relationship, reduce the risk of litigation and increase patient satisfaction.
• be INFOrMED - a medico-legal training resource on consent to treatment.
• CAT - a consent assessment tool, designed to help hospitals to easily assess, keep track of, and report on the competence of health professionals to take consent for treatment.

Comprehensive Consent™ is fully scaleable and can be configured to meet your local requirements.

Over 200 hospitals are benefiting from EIDO's Comprehensive Consent™.

EIDO is committed to helping its customers achieve excellence in this vital area. We actively collaborate with leading organisations to make sure our products are of the highest quality. EIDO is a corporate member of the Plain English Campaign and is one of only three organisations in the world that holds platinum status.
