In this article, we will guide you through the steps to develop an Attestation Template tailored for a specific InQuiry user. It is assumed that you are already familiar with the process of creating a dictation template.
Attestation Templates are for clinicians who will be adding their signature as a required second signature to a transcription. This attestation usually acts as a legal disclaimer for the additional signer, stating the signer has reviewed the transcription and agrees with what the original signer dictated. This scenario is common in teaching hospitals where a Resident needs an Attending physician to sign off on their transcription before it becomes a legal document.
The clinician has the ability to select from multiple pre–defined templates. The text from the template is inserted between the previous signature and this clinician's signature and can be modified or deleted.
To initiate the creation of an Attestation Template, begin by establishing a dictation template and selecting the "Attestation Template" option. This action will instruct the system to designate the template as an attestation template.
If you would like to set the attestation template as the default for the User, you must navigate to the Users screen and choose the appropriate user whose profile to edit. Then, expand the "Dictating Clinician Options" section.
If the setting is not already activated for the user, you are modifying check that box. Choose the default Attestation Template from the dropdown menu. This will be the Default template presented during the signature process. Finally, click the Save button located at the bottom of the profile screen (not depicted in the illustration above).
To be able to add an attestation template to a report upon signing, the user must be listed as an additional authenticator on the document and logged in to complete the document located in the Preliminary folder.
