Digital signatures are becoming increasingly important in everyday hospital operations: consent forms, informed consent forms, and contracts must be signed quickly and in a legally compliant manner—ideally without stacks of paper, scans, or manual filing. With the Digital Signature module of the Smart Health Platform (SHP), you can bring these processes directly into the patient portal.
What a Digital Signature Does
The Digital Signature module enables patients and healthcare professionals to sign documents electronically—fully integrated into the m.Doc platform. The signing processes are handled by our certified partner, Validated ID, and meet current security and compliance requirements.
The following are supported:
- Advanced electronic signatures for standard processes
qualified electronic signatures for documents of particular legal significance - Depending on the type of signature, users sign directly in the embedded iFrame or in a separate Validated ID window.
