The Conditions Necessary for E-Signatures under HIPAA Rules and how EasySteps Meets Them EasySteps takes compliance and security very seriously and takes any and all steps necessary to meet these requirements. Because of this we sought legal advice about many processes and determined the following about e-signatures: The conditions necessary for e-signatures under HIPAA rules also have to take into account the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). The conditions are: Legal Compliance. Not only should the contract, document, agreement, or authorization comply with the federal rules for e-signatures, they should also clearly demonstrate the terms, clearly demonstrate the intent of the signatory, and the option should exist for the signatory to receive a printed or emailed copy of the contract. Covered entities are also advised to seek legal advice about any state or local laws that might also determine can e-signatures be used under HIPAA rules. With EasySteps, the contact note is fully viewable on the screen just as it would be as a paper copy, so the caregiver can see exactly what they are signing. An email, when available, is created for the caregiver upon signature. User Authentication. Covered entities must implement a system to validate the identity of all transacting parties in order to avoid disputes about whether the person who entered into the agreement actually had the authority to do so. Mechanisms such as two-step verification, answering “secret knowledge” questions, implementing specialized e-signature software and phone/voice authorization can resolve this issue. Since EasySteps is available online and offline, signatures are captured while the therapist and caregiver are together. Again, this is just like having the caregiver sign a paper copy. Message Integrity. A system to prevent digitally tampering with the agreement after it has been signed must be implemented to ensure the integrity of the agreement both in transit and at rest. This condition is very similar to the safeguards of the HIPAA Security Rule and should be treated with the same level of gravity. Once a note is signed, it is time-stamped and cannot be changed. The document is uneditable once signatures are captured. Non-Repudiation. In order to ensure that the signatory cannot deny having signed the agreement, e-signatures used under HIPAA rules should have a timestamped audit trail indicating dates, times, location and the chain of custody. This will ensure that contracts are legally enforceable and that authorization for the disclosure of PHI cannot later be contested. Providing the signatory with a printed or emailed copy of the document is one step to avoiding repudiation. Every note has a “behind-the-scenes” audit trail that proves its reliability. Ownership and Control. The final condition for e-signatures to be used under HIPAA rules relates to copies of signed documents residing on the servers of e-signature service providers. In order for a covered entity to ensure the integrity of PHI, all of the evidence supporting the e-signature should be on the same document under the ownership and control of the covered entity. All other copies – except those provided for the signatory – should be digitally shredded. The “covered entity” (the provider) has ownership and control of the signed document located in the provider’s secure and private area of EasySteps.

We have spoken with Early Steps/Covansys about uploading notes to their website. Unfortunately, their website cannot receive more than one document at a time. Also, only the user is able to upload documents after logging into each individual patient chart. For these reasons, EasySteps is not able to upload documents for you. All notes can be saved as a pdf to be uploaded.
