Innovations for Electronic Signature Use in a healthcare context Healthcare organizations incur significant cost to collect the signatures that execute business agreements, authenticate medical records, ensure reimbursement or are otherwise needed to satisfy a regulatory requirement. While many believe that digital signature technology will provide the ultimate solution to the health industry's electronic signature needs, current utilization is deterred by the cost and complexity of implementation. It is time to rethink assumptions about the implementation of digital signatures. What is required in the healthcare enterprise context to ensure required levels of 'non-repudiation'? How is digital signature capability best provided to the mobile health practitioner? What should be the end user's responsibilities in protecting signature keys? How can the end user's technical burden be minimized? How can digital signature use be best integrated with the enterprise's overall security infrastructure? Tunitas Group, in conjunction with AR, will address these and other questions in a live web seminar on a new approaches to the use of digital signatures. During the online, interactive presentations, you will benefit by learning about: Benefits of digital signatures relative to other electronic signature technologies Digital signature implementation issues A new model for signature key protection and invocation AR's CoSign signature appliance
