I could be wrong but I believe there is another issue with electronic transmission of information requiring legal signature and that's storage of said information. The electronic signature requires to 'stay with the document'. I believe I recall that Medical Objects' transfer accomplishes this. When Jared and Andrew so graciously spent valuable time with me in August demonstrating various aspects of the software, I asked Jared about this and he demonstrated signing a message then receiving it, opening and there was the 'signature' hash (do I have the correct term?) in all its glory and stays with the electronic document to where ever its destination. But how do you accomplish this when you send the document as an attachment in an email which is then 'stripped' off to be imported into an EHR? Is the attachment signed as well and I just don't know where to look?
