Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • An author selector permits signing as someone else. Bind signing to the authenticated clinician and the relevant authority.
  • The note is edited after signing. Preserve the signed source and use the agreed amendment process.
  • Operational completion bypasses an unresolved signature or review. Check the conditions before recording the encounter end.
