The right signature on the right report, automatically
Signatures applied at verification, restricted to the departments each pathologist is qualified to sign, and recorded permanently against the report.
A signature is a clinical and legal statement, not a graphic
When a scanned signature image sits in a template that anyone can apply, it stops meaning anything. The person whose name is on the report may not have seen it. That is a problem long before it becomes a legal one.
What the software does about it
Applied at verification
The signature goes on when the pathologist verifies, not when the template was designed.
Department restrictions
A pathologist can only sign the departments they are qualified for.
Registration numbers
Medical registration number printed alongside the signature, as required.
Multiple signatories
Technologist and pathologist both recorded where your protocol requires two.
Permanent record
Who verified a report, and when, is kept for the life of the record.
Not reusable
Signature images cannot be extracted and applied to anything outside the system.
Verification means someone actually looked
Separating entry from verification, and tying the signature to the verification step, means a signed report is one a named pathologist actively released. That is what the signature is supposed to represent.
- Entry and verification are distinct permissions
- A report cannot be released unverified
- Amendments require re-verification and are marked as revisions
- Locum and visiting pathologists get their own accounts and signatures
What changes
- Signatures represent an actual act of verification
- Department qualifications are enforced rather than assumed
- Accreditation reviews find the evidence trail they expect
- Visiting pathologists can verify remotely without sharing credentials
