1The page at a glance

Co-signatures is a reviewer’s to-do list. It holds every document your clinic’s rules send to you for a second signature: notes, consents, prescriptions, orders and intake approvals.

The list is yours alone. It only ever shows what is waiting on you, never on a colleague.

Co-signatures: what you review, the filter, and your queue.

2Who sees this page

  1. 1Co-signatures shows in the sidebar only for people named as a reviewer on a co-signature rule, or who have something waiting.
  2. 2A number on it counts what is waiting. It turns red when something is past the agreed time.
  3. 3If no rule names you, the page says so. An owner or manager sets the rules in Settings.

3What you are reviewing

  1. 1Notes and consents are reviewed as part of signing them.
  2. 2Prescriptions and orders have already gone to the pharmacy or the lab by the time they reach you. You review them afterwards, and nothing here holds up a patient’s treatment.
  3. 3An intake approval is the one that waits on you: the patient can’t be checked in until you clear it.

4Your queue

  1. 1The oldest is always at the top, so nothing sits forgotten at the bottom.
  2. 2Each row has the patient, the kind of document, who wrote it, when it was signed and how long ago.
  3. 3A red Past the agreed time tag means it is later than your clinic’s rule allows. The count above the list shows how many.
  4. 4“In the review sample” means the rule picked this one at random for review.
