What is the Patient Signature Report used for?

The Patient Signature Report under Report > Visits > Visit > Patient Signature, captures the reasons a required signature is skipped when a caregiver clocks in or out of a visit via the Mobile App. When a Patient signature is skipped the reason displays in the Skip Reason(s) column.

A signature is not required if either the Clock In Signature or Clock Out Signature fields contains an N/A value.

If the caregiver skips the signature, the system generates a note and automatically enables the Timesheet Required checkbox on the Visit Info tab.

Although the Patient signature is not a valid EVV compliance measure, it may be used as an auditing tool. Running the Patient Signature Report allows an agency to ensure patients are providing signatures when required. Moreover, the report provides Patient signatures to be verified for consistency measures.
