Electronic Informed Consent, Law No. 17/2023, Juridical Analysis.Abstract
The digitalization of healthcare services has transformed the process of obtaining informed consent, introducing electronic informed consent (e-consent) as a tool to enhance efficiency, transparency, and legal accountability. This study aims to analyze the juridical validity of e-consent in hospital services within the framework of Indonesian law, particularly Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health. Employing a normative juridical research approach, the study examines primary legal sources, including statutes, ministerial regulations, medical codes of ethics, and relevant Supreme Court rulings, as well as secondary sources from scholarly literature. The findings indicate that e-consent can be considered legally and ethically valid if it fulfills key requirements: clear and comprehensive information, patient understanding, and voluntary consent, supported by robust authentication and data integrity mechanisms. Law No. 17/2023 affirms patients’ rights to information and voluntary decision-making, while implementing regulations and ethical standards ensure procedural clarity and accountability for healthcare providers. The study concludes that e-consent represents a legally recognized instrument, capable of safeguarding patient autonomy, enhancing administrative efficiency, and providing legal protection in medical practice. This research contributes to the development of normative frameworks for integrating digital consent mechanisms into Indonesian healthcare services, offering guidance for policymakers and practitioners in implementing e-consent systems aligned with both legal and ethical standards.
