Safeguards

Require GPS location before saving Email the patient their signed copy when an email address is entered Take patient photo at signing Patient must scroll to the end before continuing Fast signature drawing (low-latency mode for the stylus). Turn off if the signature boxes look wrong on this tablet; the app then uses the standard, slightly slower drawing. Keep the screen on while the app is open (it may sleep after 20 minutes with nobody touching it). Signatures with a stylus only (finger and palm touches on the signature boxes are ignored). Turn on only if a stylus is kept with this tablet. Patient signs at the end of every page of the consent (first consent; not repeat sessions) Reading speed used to time the consent (words per minute, 300 at most — normal adult reading speed; lower means more reading time) Clinic witness is compulsory for surgical consents Flag a "doctor signs later" consent as overdue after (hours)

Doctor PINs

Each doctor's own PIN is needed to confirm a patient-specific edit made in their name and to countersign a "sign later" consent. Any doctor PIN or the admin PIN opens Records and lookups. Leave blank to keep the current PIN.

New admin PIN (leave blank to keep)
