Hi all!

I'm assisting a client of mine with digitizing her paperwork. She is a therapist in AZ. She uses MyBestPRactice as her EHR System and is planning to use the messaging system within to trade the PDF files for her clients. She is wanting to make sure the e-signature setup is HIPAA- compliant.

What is the best way to ensure this? From what I read of AZ stipulations, an e-signature just needs to be able to be verified and the form is voided if it is edited after signing. I believe since her forms are being exchanged only on the secure messaging system within MyBest, I *think* that is compliant. The signatures would be put on the PDFs and sent back to her through the MyBest platform.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi!

So I'm helping a friend of mine with digitizing her paperwork and forms. She's a therapist. She wants to convert her forms to digital PDFs and she is wanting to make sure the signatures are HIPAA compliant.

From some research, I *think* that if her PDF forms have a space for a drawn signature, and a checkbox declaring the signature is that of the printed name/person signing, it SHOULD be HIPAA and contract-legal compliant, yes?

She is sending the forms via a secured patient-provider platform, and they are fillable PDF files that will be sent back to her through that platform. Is there anything special she needs for the e-signatures?

Thanks in advance!
