Add a Witness or Assistant Signature
PracticeQ allows an assistant to sign a submitted consent form. This is useful for documents that require a witness.
- Click My Forms and scroll down to the Consent Forms heading.
- Click Add New to create a new consent form or click to open an existing consent form.
- Check the box labeled Enable Assistant e-Signature (Witness).
- If you wish to enter text above the witness signature line, click the Customize link.
- Once the client has reviewed, signed, and submitted the form, the practitioner can sign the document (if applicable).
- An assistant account can then log in and verify the two signatures, and sign as a witness. This must be done from an assistant account, as each submitted signature will be locked to an account for verification purposes.
If you need to set up an assistant account, the following article will explain how: Multiple Practitioners.
- As you can see below, the assistant can view the full consent form and the signatures of the client and provider before signing.
