The Signatures tab is where you capture every signature the call needs. CloudPCR uses a touch signature pad, so anyone can sign with a finger or a stylus.
Whose signature do you need
- Lead provider — required on every PCR before you submit.
- Patient or representative — for billing acknowledgement, or for a refusal.
- Witness — for a refusal.
- Receiving facility — the nurse or doctor who took report at the destination.
How to capture a signature
- On the Signatures tab, tap the box for the person who needs to sign.
- The signature pad opens.
- The person signs with their finger or a stylus.
- Tap Accept if it looks right, or Clear to try again.
Tips
- Hold the tablet steady while the patient is signing. People often sign poorly when the screen is wobbling.
- For refusals, get both the patient signature and a witness signature on the spot. Coming back later is hard.
- For unconscious patients, the family member or healthcare proxy can sign as the patient representative. Note who signed and their relationship in the narrative.
