Why Digital Therapy Agreements?
Therapy agreements set the frame for the working relationship: fees, cancellation, confidentiality, and consent. When they are digital, clients can review and sign before the first session, and you get a time-stamped copy in the patient record. No printing, scanning, or lost papers. That supports compliance, risk management, and a professional start to care. Combined with psychology intake forms, you can onboard new clients entirely online.
What to Include in a Therapy Agreement
Common elements include: nature and goals of therapy; fees and payment; cancellation and no-show policy; confidentiality and its limits (e.g. risk, court); consent for recording if you use it; and contact and emergency procedures. You can adapt templates to your setting and legal requirements. AINuma keeps the process consistent and auditable.
Secure Digital Signatures
Digital signatures in AINuma are captured in a secure, access-controlled environment and stored with the rest of the patient record. You have a clear record of who signed and when. This helps with accountability and is often acceptable to regulators and insurers when electronic signatures are permitted in your jurisdiction.
Benefits for Your Practice
Digital agreements reduce admin time, eliminate paper clutter, and ensure every client has a signed agreement on file. When agreements live in the same system as session notes and treatment plans, you have one place to look for consent and contract documentation. That supports both daily practice and any future audit or legal need.
