PAQ Document Signoff by Multiple Providers

Multiple providers on a patient care team can sign off the same document sent by the encounter provider to each designated signee's Provider Approval Queue (PAQ) Pending PAQ tab in the Workflow module. Only the encounter provider or the provider's delegate can initiate multi-user signoff and select additional signees. The multi-user signoff document is read only and remains in Pending status until all the designated signees or their delegates have signed it. If a document is rejected or regenerated by any signee, all existing signatures are erased, and the document is returned to the Pending PAQ of the encounter provider for review and further action. The encounter provider can restart multi-user signoff for the document and select the previous or new signees. Note: At this time, multi-user signoff is only available for PAQ documents.
