Use a Would Your Laboratory 2019 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Would Your Laboratory is
Would Your Laboratory is a digital laboratory document that can be prepared, routed, signed, and stored through signNow. Upload the source file, let signNow identify fillable areas, then review each laboratory, signer, date, acknowledgment, and consent field before sending. Recipients receive the document electronically and complete assigned fields from a supported device. signNow records delivery, signer actions, timestamps, and completion status in an audit trail. If the document contains protected health information, apply HIPAA safeguards and a business associate agreement where required.
Who handles laboratory forms
Laboratory administrators prepare the document, confirm required fields, assign signer roles, and control access to patient or research information before sending it through signNow. Healthcare operations teams use the form to collect signatures from patients, clinicians, laboratory personnel, or business partners while preserving completion evidence and access history.
How the laboratory form works
The workflow converts the laboratory document into a controlled signing package, from field preparation through signed-record storage.
Upload: Upload the laboratory document Prepare: Review detected fields and add missing signer, date, or consent fields Send: Send the completed form to designated laboratory recipients Archive: Store the signed record with its audit trail

Privacy checks for laboratory documents
Laboratory reports may expose patient identifiers when shared without reviewing recipient access, document fields, or distribution settings. Consent records can remain incomplete when signers skip required disclosures or the laboratory cannot show how consent was captured. Shared accounts weaken attribution because the audit trail may not clearly connect each laboratory action with one authorized user. Unrestricted template access can let staff alter laboratory wording, fields, or recipient roles before a document is sent.
Record-keeping practices for laboratories
Keep the signed laboratory document, completion evidence, access history, and retention decision together in a controlled record system.
Apply the six-year HIPAA baseline
Export the audit trail with records
Archive completed records securely
Separate final records from drafts
Legal standing for laboratory records
A signed laboratory document may be admissible when the signer demonstrates intent, consents to electronic records, can be identified, and the record remains reproducible with its audit evidence under ESIGN and applicable state law, including UETA. Wills, certain court orders, and family-law decrees remain excluded from ESIGN’s coverage.

Laboratory form troubleshooting
Resolve field, signer, security, plan, retention, and legal-scope questions before the laboratory document is distributed.
Upload the original laboratory PDF again and inspect detected fields before sending. signNow supports templates and field placement, but an administrator must confirm that every required laboratory, signer, date, and consent field is present.
Use signNow’s signer authentication options, such as email delivery or SMS verification, and confirm the recipient’s contact details. Stronger authentication may be available through higher-tier configuration; choose it according to the laboratory’s risk assessment.
A Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps. If the laboratory needs bulk send, Business Premium adds that capability; confirm invite limits and overage terms before sending large batches.
signNow is HIPAA compliant when a business associate agreement is required and organizational safeguards are configured. Compliance does not replace the laboratory’s obligations for minimum-necessary access, consent, retention, and authorized disclosure.
Export the completed laboratory document and its audit trail after all required signatures are collected. Retain the evidence under the applicable policy; HIPAA records generally require 6 years under 45 CFR §164.530(j).
Electronic signing does not make every document eligible for electronic execution. Wills, certain court orders, and family-law decrees are outside ESIGN’s coverage, so obtain legal guidance before routing an excluded document.
