Adverse Events electronic signature
If a fall or infection created in Field Mode is uploaded to Host Mode, it becomes electronically signed.
Clinicians using field devices can edit details of these adverse events before synchronization.
When the signed fall or infection is in Host Mode, only a user with appropriate security privilege can edit it. This restriction ensures the integrity of the documentation after a clinician has electronically signed it.
To modify signed details, you should have the Can alter locked clinical entries (other than Assessments and Visit Frequencies) security privilege assigned in Administration>Configuration>Operators>Privileges.
- Then, you will get the following warning message when trying to modify adverse event signed details: "This item was originally entered in Field Mode. It has been electronically signed by the author.
- Your security privilege allows you to override this restriction.
- If this is anything more than a simple error correction, you must document this change in a Clinical Note." and you will be able to change the information entered in Field Mode.
