Whole Genome Sequencing Consent & Preferences Form

Streamline Genomic Testing Consent with Paperform

Whole genome sequencing represents one of the most advanced diagnostic tools in modern medicine, but obtaining proper informed consent requires careful attention to complex preferences around secondary findings, data usage, and future research participation.

This Whole Genome Sequencing Consent & Preferences Form template provides healthcare providers, genetic counselors, and medical institutions with a structured approach to capturing patient consent and preferences for genomic testing. Built with Paperform's intuitive document-style editor, this template balances clinical thoroughness with patient accessibility.

Designed for genomic medicine workflows

The form guides patients through critical decision points including whether to receive incidental findings, how long their genomic data should be stored, and whether they wish to be contacted about future research opportunities. Conditional logic ensures patients only see relevant follow-up questions based on their initial choices, creating a clearer consent experience.

Healthcare organizations can customize the form to match institutional protocols, add their branding, and embed it directly into patient portals or send via secure links. Once submitted, responses can flow automatically into your EHR system, research databases, or compliance tracking tools using Paperform's native integrations or Stepper workflows (stepper.io), eliminating manual data entry and reducing the risk of documentation errors.

Built for compliance and patient clarity

While this template provides a foundation for genomic consent documentation, healthcare organizations should review all content with legal counsel and genetic counseling professionals to ensure alignment with institutional policies, state regulations, and current genomic medicine best practices. The form structure can be easily adapted to meet specific IRB requirements, CLIA regulations, and organizational consent protocols.

Paperform is not HIPAA compliant, so organizations handling protected health information should ensure appropriate safeguards are in place according to their compliance requirements.

This template is ideal for genetic counseling centers, academic medical centers, precision medicine programs, and healthcare systems offering advanced genomic testing services to patients seeking comprehensive genetic analysis.
