Signing a Qnaire response
Updated over 10 months ago

In the same way that providers can sign encounter notes, they can sign Qnaire responses. Signing the Qnaire response locks the contents and acts as a digital signature. This is helpful for consent forms that require both the patient’s and provider's signatures.

📌 Notes:

  • You cannot unsign a Qnaire.

  • If the Qnaire response is attached to an encounter note, when you sign the encounter note the Qnaire is automatically signed.

When the Qnaire is signed, the following happens:

  • Patient answers can no longer be modified.

  • The Note section can no longer be modified.

  • The Qnaire response header shows the date of the signature and who signed.

  • The signature and a timestamp appear at the bottom of the Qnaire response.

  • The signature and a timestamp appear in the generated PDF of the Qnaire response.

  • You can no longer delete the Qnaire response from the Qnaire Responses section of the patient chart; however, you can remove it from an encounter note.

Steps

  1. Open a Qnaire response. Refer to Viewing Qnaire responses.

  2. In the top-right corner, click Sign and a signature window opens.

  3. Type “SIGN” in uppercase in the blank field.

  4. Click Sign and the Qnaire response is signed.
