Signing by hand or with a click?

 

 

Handwritten signatures are the universal and most intuitive way of providing consent. However, signing on paper in highly regulated environments like hospitals is insecure, expensive, inefficient and could lead to serious compliance issues. Adopting digital click-to-sign technology may reduce paper but it has significant drawbacks. It's expensive, awkward, reliant on an internet connection and doesn't always indicate consent reliably.

So how can you simultaneously:

  • Remove paper from medical consent workflows 
  • Retain the familiarity of pen and paper
  • And drive digital efficiency?
 

Wacom devices offer the best of both worlds

 

Wacom signature pads and pen displays solve this challenge by offering a familiar and easy way to capture handwritten signatures digitally and ensure they are legally binding. Every deployment provides patient accessibility and trust in the consent workflow, while increasing efficiency by removing paper from the entire process.

 
 

 
 

Choose a legally compliant solution

 

 
 

While the specifics of the law regarding electronic signatures vary by country, it is proven that handwritten electronic signatures captured using a Wacom device are a legally binding way to provide agreement, consent and to transact business both online and off. In addition to their general legal enforce-ability, they are compliant with most industry-specific healthcare regulations.

 
 
 

 
 

"Handwritten signatures remain the most intuitive and legally valid way for people to provide their consent."

Ensure easy integration
