We are looking into digital pens to link into documents we can upload into Co-hort . This means you can have any document handwritten and it will just scan into the system and you destroy the original.
We have the same aim -paper light that is.

Hi there,
Like it or not we're stuck with OPAS and are struggling with the issue of signed consent for manaement referrals. OPAS has a system where the manager can send an electronic referral directly to the OPAS inbox for the OH departmnet to pick up. However, how do we gain a proper consent (a physical signature) without the manager having to print off the referal, getting the employee to sign it then scanning it? It seems like a pain and I'm not sure it would encourage managers with referrals.
Alternatively, does everyone always get written consent from employees, prior to appointments?
Hope that made sense...Any ideas or suggestions from people who have had similar issues?
Thanks,
Richard
