How to eSign a document: digital signature licitness for Business associate agreement in UAE

what's up everybody so it feels like it's been just about forever since I last recorded one of my usual how-to videos but I'm just making it work whenever I can and we're continuing with our theme of teletherapy since so many of us are transitioning our practices over to teletherapy at least for now now one of the major questions about teletherapy that I haven't yet answered on this question is how to have your clients complete their forms remotely especially if you're doing an intake and you need their signature that can be especially challenging so today I'm going to try out a platform that claims to create an easy option for your clients to fill out and sign forms on line and it is HIPAA secure welcome to private practice skills I'm dr. Marie Fang psychologist in private practice I post videos offering tools I learned the hard way about starting and growing private practice so that you don't have to the name of the platform is sign now I've never used it before so far all I've done is create a login so let's kind of check it out and see if we can make it work so go to sign now calm so something I'm just noticing as I log in as it says sign now free for three months for health care institutions that's really wonderful so let's go ahead and login and give this a try now the question is - I uploaded a doc or a PDF let's start by trying the doc document okay let's have signer one be me at my other email start adding fields okay I see I understand you go to the left toolbar here and there are several options you select the eat the one that you want so for here it says client name and print so I'm gonna select text field and then just place it right above so here I can tell my clients you know I want you to put your first name I'll say okay and I'm gonna do another text field next to it and the last name this is just telling them what I want them to put in that field and here look you can select date/time we're gonna stick it right there maybe make it smaller okay just click OK and then the signature field which is why we're all here it looks like that one wants to go here anyway click okay so just for the purposes of testing out sign now I'm gonna leave it as is and send it to myself at my other email and see how easy it is to fill this out so save and invite also based on how I just filled this out it looks like regardless of whether you're uploading a doc or a PDF the system should work the same so let me check my email and see if it's in there hey here it is it came right away you were invited to sign so this is what it looks like your your client is gonna get an email or your new client is gonna get an email that looks like this so I click to sign I click sign document okay let's get started I'm gonna click start so it gives you instructions in this blue box like this is my first name and last name date signature once you click on the box then the instruction disappears today okay how do I do this okay how do i oh I can type the signature draw it or upload an image or if you've used one before you can use it from here so I mean if you want just be your clients could just do this and I could say that's my signature I feel great about it and click add if they want I don't want you to see what my signature looks like so we'll just you know your clients could put their signature here okay let's just see if that does it yep there it is and it says I've completed it so then I click done let's see what happens okay beautiful so now if I go back to my dashboard it says waiting for others I wonder how long until it updates let me refresh oh it says Marie signed it so now what I can open the document copy download email well let's not do that so depending on what type of charting you use you have different options here so you could go ahead and open it and then just print it out and have it in your paper file you could also download it and upload to an EHR or upload to something like Google Drive if you're using that for your client charting but for now I just want to see what this looks like did it work yeah there it is I can read it there it is Marie Fang with the date and my pretend signature this is also important because we do sign our informed consents as well I love that I can put my own signature and here I'll just do it this way for now as the therapist you normally sign it like this let's just use that one oh that is very tiny no problem I like that you can resize these things so you know if this were your actual form how do I feel that oh I see I just start typing it's a learning curve for all of us and today's date there there it is so if you wanted to know it's done that's an important step actually before downloading it to go ahead and sign it yourself and then you can download and do whatever you need to do in a HIPAA compliant manner with that paper [Music] no sign now is offering three free months for health care providers which is wonderful especially given the times that we're in and that many of us might only need it on this very temporary basis but if you are offering teletherapy services in an ongoing way they're cheapest plan is $15 a month which feels very reasonable for the service that you receive how easy it is for the client to complete and how easy it is for us to use it as well now the way I just showed you how to use it is kind of the most basic functionality and at this point if you were really using it you would need to print it out or download it and upload it to your EHR or something like that no it is an option to integrate sign now with G suite I haven't personally explored how to do that yet but if you're interested in seeing that video leave a comment below and I'm happy to explore that further in another video I hope this was a helpful video for you to get the ball rolling so that your hip is secure and you're following all the proper documentation protocol without having to go through too much hassle hopefully well until next time from one therapist to another I wish you well today's video is brought to you by therapy notes com therapy notes helps with scheduling notes and billing so that you can spend more time with your clients and less time on back office paperwork click the link in the description of this video to get to months to try it for free with no commitment [Music]
