Consent Templates – Separate Patient and Other Signature Fields

Configure Consent Signature Fields

Patient Completes Consent in Kiosk

Capture Additional Signature

What’s New

•  Consent letter templates now support two distinct signature field types:
  – Patient
  – Other
•  A new Signature control is available under:
  Settings > Letter Template > Add (+) > Letter Type: Consent.
  The Signature control includes:
  – Signature Heading
  – Signature Type dropdown (Patient or Other)
• The Signature Type dropdown defaults to Select.
• Patient and Other signatures are captured and stored independently.
• The Other signature field can be used for any required non-patient signer, including:
  – Provider
  – Witness
  – Guardian
  – Other authorized signer
• Users must have the appropriate permissions to add or configure signature fields.

How It Works 

• Navigate to Settings > Letter Template > Add (+) and select Letter Type: Consent.
• Add a Signature field to the template.
• Enter a Signature Heading and choose either Patient or Other from the Signature Type dropdown.

• Save the consent template.
• When the consent is completed through Kiosk, the patient’s signature is applied only to the Patient signature field.
• The Other signature field remains available for the appropriate signer to electronically sign the consent after patient submission.

Benefits

• Clearly distinguishes patient signatures from other required signatures.
• Improves compliance by supporting separate signature capture for multiple signers.
• Allows providers and other authorized individuals to electronically sign consent forms after patient completion through Kiosk.
• Increases flexibility by supporting multiple non-patient signer types using the generic Other signature field.
