Bedside Hours

Create a custom Bedside Hours 2016 that meets your industry’s specifications.

What Bedside Hours is and how it works

Bedside Hours is a document completed and signed electronically through a defined signNow workflow. Upload the form, let signNow detect fillable fields, review the required entries, and assign each signer before sending it by email or signing link. Each signer reviews the document and applies an electronic signature; signNow then records completion details in an audit trail and stores the finished document for retrieval. The enforceability of an electronic signature depends on intent, consent, attribution, and record retention under ESIGN and applicable state law.

Field detection

Upload the Bedside Hours file and use detected fields to reduce manual placement work before sending it to signers.

Signer routing

Assign each Bedside Hours signer by name, email address, and signing order so responsibilities remain clear.

Mobile signing

Let people complete Bedside Hours from supported signNow web or mobile workflows without exchanging paper copies.

Audit trail

Capture timestamps, signer actions, and document history in an audit trail connected to the completed form.

Reusable template

Reuse an approved Bedside Hours template when teams send the same form repeatedly to different signers.

Record storage

Retain a completed Bedside Hours record that can be downloaded and reviewed alongside its signing evidence.

Record-keeping practices for Bedside Hours

Retain Bedside Hours with its audit evidence, apply the rule governing the underlying record, and control access throughout the record lifecycle.

Preserve the original and completed Bedside Hours files

Keep the original Bedside Hours file, the completed copy, and its audit trail together. Name records consistently with the signer and completion date so staff can locate the exact form without relying on email history or personal device storage.

Export the audit trail with every completed form

Export the signNow audit trail after completion and verify that signer identities, timestamps, and actions correspond with Bedside Hours. Store the export with the signed document, particularly when the form supports a regulated healthcare or business record.

Map retention to the underlying record type

Apply the retention rule for the underlying Bedside Hours record, not a generic platform setting. HIPAA records require six years under 45 CFR 164.530(j), while other business records may follow different federal or state requirements.

Restrict access and document authorized deletion

Limit access to completed Bedside Hours records through role-based permissions and approved storage. Review access periodically, preserve the audit history, and document any authorized deletion under the organization’s records policy.

Prepare document

Check every field and signer assignment before sending.

Send to signers

Deliver Bedside Hours by email or signing link.

Collect signatures

Legal standing of Bedside Hours

An electronically completed Bedside Hours record can support a U.S. business transaction when the signer intended to sign, consented to electronic records, can be attributed to the signature, and the record remains accessible and reproducible under ESIGN and applicable UETA or state law. Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, certain court filings, and family-law decrees are excluded from ESIGN’s general rule.

Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives

Troubleshooting Bedside Hours signing

These answers address specific field, access, plan, enforceability, privacy, and retention questions that can arise when completing Bedside Hours.

Upload the original Bedside Hours file again and confirm that fields are detectable before sending. If the form uses images or unusual formatting, place the required signNow fields manually and preview the signer experience before delivery.

Open the signing link in a supported browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. The sender should verify the recipient email address and resend the invite if the original message was missed or expired.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, mobile apps, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. Business Premium adds bulk send and kiosk mode when Bedside Hours must reach many signers.

Electronic signing is generally supported when the signer demonstrates intent, consents to electronic records, can be identified, and the record remains reproducible. ESIGN and UETA provide the U.S. framework, subject to document-specific exclusions and state law.

For healthcare workflows involving protected health information, signNow lists HIPAA compliance with a BAA required. Confirm that the organization has the required agreement and configure access, retention, and disclosure practices separately.

A completed Bedside Hours document should be retained with its audit trail under the rule governing the underlying record. HIPAA records use six years under 45 CFR 164.530(j); other records require a separate legal or policy analysis.
