Scientific societies
What we can do together, and under what conditions
Where we are
No active agreements today
When an agreement exists, it will appear here, with the name of the society and its terms.
If you are reading on behalf of a society or association, what follows is what we would propose in a first call.
What we offer
Four things, the most important first
Consent templates reviewed by those with the authority to do so
We have a catalog of forms written per procedure. They are not validated by a specialist or a lawyer: the structure follows the law, the clinical content needs review. A scientific society can review it for the procedures within its competence. The result stays public and citable, with attribution to those who did it.
To us this is the most valuable one: it closes a limit that exists today.
Special conditions for members
The price list is public and stays public. The terms of an agreement are defined together and written into the agreement.
No figures here: they are defined case by case.
Training for members on the boring stuff
Half an hour on what an informed consent should include, how to store a clinical photograph, what GDPR requires from a small practice. The product comes up at the end, if at all.
We are not an ECM provider.
A channel to tell us what’s missing
Someone who sees a hundred practices knows what is missing. Requests from a society go into the work list like all the others.
No promises of priority.
What we ask
A person who responds, and time to review
A contact to talk to, and someone to review the consent templates for the procedures that concern you, saying where they are wrong, vague or incomplete. It is work and it should be recognised: if needed, we agree on compensation for the review time.
The rules we set for ourselves
So an agreement doesn’t become an improper incentive
The code of medical ethics prohibits physicians from subordinating their professional conduct to undue advantages and bans agreements that influence prescriptions. Practice management software is not a patient-facing act, so there is room for it. But the boundary is thin, and we put it in writing.
Nothing tied to how many patients you treat
If one day there’s financial recognition tied to an agreement, it can only depend on subscription activations. Never on the number of procedures, patients, or products used: that would be an incentive influencing clinical behavior, which the code of ethics prohibits.
Transparency, and the ability to declare it
The code of ethics requires physicians to declare any conflicts of interest. An agreement should make this easy, not complicate it: the terms remain written and can be shown.
No clinical endorsement in exchange for conditions
A society can review a document and state it has done so. We don’t ask them to recommend software to their members as a scientific act, and we don’t pay to be recommended.
What we don’t do
Three requests we say no to
- Paying to be recommended to members.
- Displaying a logo on this site without a written and current agreement.
- Linking any recognition to the number of procedures or patients.
