Intracare Implementation Log Episode 38: Hospital Electronic Signature Policy?

[Ignacio Valdes]

Hi all,

Ugh! The hospital is asking me to promulgate a hospital electronic
signature policy to allow electronic signing to occur. While I am
aware that VistA passes legal muster in this regard, apparently it is
thought that a local policy is needed. Does anyone have one specific
to VistA that I can use to put in our bylaws or whatever? Here are a
few not specific to VistA ones available: This will be for Texas.
