▌Use cases for forms with signatures

Registration forms: Forms with signatures can be used for event registrations, where participants can sign consent forms, liability waivers, or registration agreements electronically. This streamlines the registration process and eliminates the need for physical paperwork.

Membership Applications: Associations, clubs, and professional organizations can use forms with signatures for membership applications. Applicants can electronically sign membership agreements, code of conduct forms, or other required documents during the application process.

Waivers and consent forms: In various industries, such as healthcare, fitness, recreation, and event management, forms with signatures are used to collect consent forms and waivers. Participants or attendees can sign forms electronically to acknowledge the risks, terms, and conditions associated with their participation.

▌Healthcare use cases for forms with signatures

Patient intake forms: Forms with signatures can be used for patient intake processes, where new patients can electronically sign registration forms, medical history questionnaires, privacy notices, and consent forms before their initial visit or appointment.

Acknowledgment of privacy practices: Forms with signatures can be used to ensure patients acknowledge their understanding of privacy practices and HIPAA regulations. Patients can electronically sign privacy notices, acknowledging how their protected health information (PHI) will be used and disclosed.

Authorization for medical records: Patients can electronically authorize the release of their medical records to other healthcare providers, insurance companies, or third-party entities. This includes signing consent forms for medical record requests, sharing information for referrals, or participating in research studies.

Informed consent for procedures: Healthcare providers can use forms with signatures to obtain informed consent from patients before medical procedures, surgeries, or treatments. Patients can review the risks, benefits, and alternatives and provide their electronic signature to indicate their understanding and agreement.

▌Multiple signatures

When you use the configure esignatures option in the Formesign addon menu, you have the option to add multiple signature fields in the form. This is useful for use cases when you need signatures from multiple users before the response is submitted. For example, if you have created a form for an incident report, then you may want to collect signatures from the person reporting the incident as well as the witness for that incident. Or, if you are creating a travel consent form for minors, then you will have to collect the signatures from the person who will be travelling as well as the parent or guardian. 

If your requirement is to create a signature workflow to collect multiple signatures, then you can use our Mailrecipe addon (link below). For example, the user submitting the incident report must sign and submit the form, which is then sent to the supervisor or manager for review and signatures.
