Digital Signature use in Healthcare

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

What happens when an organization with 17 different offices, which handles upwards of 10,000 paper documents a day, takes their workflow digital? If you’re interested in finding out, you’re welcome to check out this case study on the South Carolina Department of Mental Health’s (SCDMH) use of digital signatures.

As digital signature use in Healthcare grows, the SCDMH (a comprehensive mental Healthcare provider) joins other organizations in the industry that have discovered the huge benefit that digital signatures provide – from the level of greater customer satisfaction to improved organizational efficiency. Aside from the $4 million that the SCDMH saved in only the first year of implementing digital signatures, they have gained secure and compliant electronic approval processes that cut process times, eliminate paper-related expenditures, and significantly improve collaboration. They’ve even become more environmentally friendly – according to Pay It Green, the amount of paper SCDMH saves annually due to digital signatures equates to over 11,000 trees!

If you’re interested in hearing about digital signature use in Healthcare from professionals in the field, register for a free webinar called Digital Signatures for Healthcare, which takes place on July 21st at 2:00PM EDT. The webinar will cover regulatory and compliance issues, common applications, best practices and more.
