Information Governance & Standards

For those of you that work in a physician practice, how often do you have your patients sign consent forms?  Is it once a year, every quarter or at every visit?  Are there any regulations/laws that you can point me towards?  Any policies you can share?

Thank you Lori! I have tried researching the subject and couldn't find much.  Trying to see how others handle their consents.
