The e-signature function in RSS is a way to electronically sign consent forms. It can be used if the consent process is conducted in person (face to face) or remotely (telephone or video as approved by the IRB). RSS e-signature can be used for any study that is not FDA regulated regardless of funding source. Consent forms that are electronically signed in RSS, are maintained in the RSS application so paper forms do not need to be printed and stored. See the links below for instructions on in person or remote e-signatures.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a training session, please contact Sue Logsdon at slogsdon@unmc.edu.
