In iKnowMed, providers can sign orders with or without entering a PIN . Your practice can require orders be signed with a PIN by enabling the E-Sign Orders with PIN Start Date practice preference.
Although disabling the PIN requirement makes signing orders easier, it also may:
Weaken the security of your practice’s iKnowMed instance
Degrade the integrity of data entered by those who access your instance of iKnowMed
Impact your practice’s compliance with contracts, policies and procedures required for reimbursement from Health Care payers
Prior to disabling the PIN requirement, consult with your practice's legal, compliance and administrative leadership to thoughtfully consider all relevant, federal and state laws, regulations, administrative guidance, contract obligations, policies and procedures, including Health Care Payer requirements.E-Sign Orders with PIN Start Date practice preference in iKnowMed.
