DOCTORS SIGNING OFF ON NARRATIVES MADE EASY
I suggest that when the doctor is done with a narrative and needs to sign it, rather than inserting a signature box and having them sign the signature pad, they are able to lock the note with a password. Each doctor would have their own password. When the password is entered, it would lock the note and "this note reviewed and signed electronically by Dr. ______ " would automatically be inserted into the narrative. This would eliminate the need for the doctor to sign the note manually, and due to a private password being assigned to each doctor, it would also be secure.

This is a good idea for a feature, but it doesn't quite accomplish what we would like it to. There needs to be a way for other staff members, besides the doctors, to lock their own notes. Currently the doctor has to lock all the notes if the password to lock notes feature is being used. Each individual should be able to sign and lock their own notes. The person that signs the note should be logged as the person reviewing and locking the note, not the person logged into the program.
There are too many steps to make this efficient. The person that is reviewing and locking the note should enter their password, the signature of that person should be inserted at that time and the note automatically locked. Please contact me with questions. We would really like this to be a useful efficient feature we could use as soon as possible.
