Digital Signing

There is a continued desire for clinics to operate in a paperless environment. We have made great strides in Digital Signing functionality to achieve this goal. The following items can now be electronically signed in Methasoft: Assessments, Case Notes, Custom Templates, Discharge/Transfers, Guest Dosing Requests, Orders and Treatment Plans.

You can sign these items using the following methods:

  • Real Time Capture – The person being requested to sign will use the Topaz signature pad to sign the object. This is most commonly used for the patient’s signature.
  • Pre-Captured (PIN Validation) – The user being requested to sign will enter a PIN number and a signature that has been pre-captured will be applied to the object.
  • PIN Validation (User or Patient) – The person being requested to sign (user or patient) will enter a PIN number. In the case of the user, a pre captured signature will be applied to the object. For the patient, the object will read “Electronically Signed using PIN”.
  • Pre-Captured (Password Validation) – The user being requested to sign will enter a password and the pre-captured signature will be applied to the object.
  • Password Validation – The user being requested to sign will enter a password and the object will read “Electronically Signed using Password”.

Security

Methasoft security is customizable for each user. Access to each screen can allow a user to add, edit or view screens. Where patient data is concerned, nothing is more important than security. This ensures that only authorized users have access to confidential patient information. Methasoft® not only provides password controlled access, but also utilizes leading biometric technologies such as fingerprint recognition for patients and staff. Industry standard encryption is used to keep data secure and intact. Access to patient data can be customized to all areas in the system, locking or granting permissions for each user.
