Hi there, in our clinic we purchased DocuSign to take care of our consents and other documents that require a signature. We are now starting to utilize it to send out our consents, however the practice administrator and others are up in arms about having to send out a consent to both the patient and the spouse so we can get separate signatures.

Currently they send one document to the patient only and have them get both the spouse and patients signature. They want this to continue but DocuSign is stating that the medical software must have two separate signatures on two separate documents.

If you use DocuSign or something else please let me know how you accomplish this task either way.

Thank you so much!

George

I'm interested to hear what people think. I would think you need both.

Just to clarify regarding your workflow, were you getting a document for the patient's chart and a separate document for the spouse's chart or is it a document where you require a spouse's signature for some reason?

If you are getting a document completed to go in two different charts I would think that you would want separate documents sent out/signed. I am not sure why this would be a problem for staff, especially where it is very difficult to identify which patient is a spouse from the database.

If you need two signatures for a document that is going to the patient's chart, did they indicate whether it is a legal requirement to have two separate documents or a limitation of the software? If it is a document going to a single patient's chart I would have more difficulty understanding why two separate documents would be needed.
