E-Signature Instructions

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 only be used for certain studies, outlined in the table below.

E-signature can only be used on newly created Narrative Consent Forms.

RSS e-signature may be used on the following study types:

Study Types E-Signature
FDA-regulated (drug/device) studies Yes
Non-FDA-regulated studies Yes
Commercially funded studies Yes
Federally funded studies Yes
CIRB (studies relying on an external IRB) No
Multi-site studies where UNMC is the IRB of record No
