Wacom Technology Corp., a 28-year-old Japanese company that produces interactive pen technology and other interface devices with major operations in Vancouver, recently announced a partnership with Access, a global provider of electronic forms management, automation and workflow software, to create a new e-signature solution for the healthcare industry.
The company said the solution combines a Wacom signature tablet with Access’ Intelligent Forms Suite software to deliver a more streamlined, secure and efficient way to integrate electronic handwritten signatures into the healthcare industry’s daily workflow.
“Through modernizing the signature capture process, Wacom and Access’ e-Signature solution provides not only a cost-savings to healthcare providers with less of a need to print, scan and store documents, but an increase in the trust and confidence patients feel in their healthcare provider through the streamlined and professional process it offers,” said Michael Marcum, VP of vertical markets for Wacom. “Improving the process to add unalterable and legally-binding electronic signatures to documents is also a time-savings, which benefits both patients and the healthcare industry.”
