How do you sign the encounter in order to be MACRA compliant?

Hi Paul,

Except for having a certfied product, are there special MACRA requirements for signing encounters?
btw, note we are awaiting 2014 ONC Complete Certification (we should hear back from ONC any day now).

BEING ABLE TO SIGN THE ENCOUNTER WITHIN 48 HOURS. AND RECORDING THAT INFORMATION.

Hi Paul,

if that is the only requirements then it is up to the staff to make sure that the encounter is signed with that time frame. The system records the time and date the encounter was signed. So it should meet the MACRA.
