Viewing Electronic Signature Configuration 

Electronic Signature Configuration in Clinical Setup allows you to view your facility settings for capturing electronic signatures for multiple areas of PointClickCare in one place.

Note

Electronic Signature Configuration is view only. The settings for Progress Notes, Assessments and MDS can be amended in their respective configuration in Clinical Setup.

Warning

If changes are required to Orders and Order Administration (eMAR), a PointClickCare representative must complete the change. A PointClickCare representative is required to change to avoid non-compliance with Province requirements. You must ensure you verify compliance with province specific regulations and requirements.
