Hello Sam - do you distinguish between saving and signing a document? Some documents we have are works in progress (e.g. a discharge summary document added to bit by bit by multiple authors during an admission) that only get signed once ready for release. I'm not sure how to represent this.
Gerard - do you have a link to a summary of the document you mention please?

One can only be responsable for facts if this is shown by a conscious act like signing. TNO-PG has developed a set of Essential Requirements for the application of IT in Healthcare systems. This is based on European Directives and other relevant texts. One of the basic items deal with the attestation of texts.
