Kick Counts

Use a KICK COUNTS doc 2008 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What Kick Counts records

Kick Counts is a healthcare record used to document fetal movement observations during a provider-directed monitoring period. The person completing it records the requested dates, times, or movement information, then supplies identifying details and a signature when the workflow requires one. In signNow, the sender uploads the Kick Counts file, reviews detected fillable fields, adds or corrects patient and signer fields, and sends it for completion. The signed PDF and audit trail can then be retained with the relevant patient documentation, subject to HIPAA and applicable state record rules.

Who benefits from Kick Counts workflows

Kick Counts is most useful when healthcare teams need patient observations completed remotely, signed electronically, and preserved with controlled access.

  • A prenatal care practice can send Kick Counts to patients, collect movement observations and signatures remotely, and route completed records into a controlled healthcare documentation process.
  • A hospital maternity unit can use reusable Kick Counts templates for patient education workflows, while authorized staff review submissions and preserve signed records with audit-trail evidence.
  • A multi-site healthcare organization can standardize Kick Counts collection through shared templates, role-based access, and signNow administration while maintaining consistent patient-record handling across locations.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Features that support Kick Counts

signNow connects field preparation, remote signing, authentication, audit evidence, and controlled storage for Kick Counts healthcare workflows.

Field preparation

Upload the Kick Counts file and place patient, date, movement, initials, and signature fields without rebuilding the document from scratch. Field review helps the sender prepare a complete record before delivery.

Remote signing

Send Kick Counts to a patient or authorized signer by email or a shareable signNow link. The recipient can review the form remotely instead of coordinating a paper handoff.

Mobile access

Use signNow’s mobile apps to complete Kick Counts on an iOS or Android device. Mobile access supports patient and staff workflows when a desktop is unavailable.

Audit trail

Capture signer actions, timestamps, IP information, and document history in an audit trail. The record provides supporting evidence for the signing event and completion sequence.

Signer authentication

Apply authentication controls appropriate to the healthcare workflow, including SMS OTP where configured. HIPAA compliance requires a Business Associate Agreement when protected health information is handled.

Secure storage

Keep the completed Kick Counts document and completion evidence together in a controlled archive. Encryption in transit and at rest supports secure handling of the signed healthcare record.

Kick Counts in healthcare workflows

Healthcare teams can use signNow to collect and preserve signed Kick Counts records while keeping clinical decisions with qualified providers.

Healthcare practice

Fertility Centers of Illinois uses airSlate SignNow for patient-facing healthcare signatures, illustrating how a specialized practice can move signed records into a controlled digital workflow.

  • Patient signatures collected online
  • API supports connected healthcare workflows

The customer story describes responsive support, a useful API, and satisfaction with the platform. For a Kick Counts workflow, the same documented capabilities can support remote signature collection, structured routing, and preservation of the completed healthcare record without claiming a specific form-level outcome.

Prenatal clinic

A prenatal clinic can issue Kick Counts through a reusable signNow template, allowing patients to complete movement observations remotely before staff review the signed record.

  • Reusable template for repeated patient visits
  • Audit trail accompanies the signed form

This anonymized workflow keeps patient instructions, observation fields, signature fields, and completion evidence in one process. Clinical staff still determine how the submitted information should be reviewed and retained under the organization’s healthcare-record policy.

Complete and archive Kick Counts

Move Kick Counts from preparation through signature while preserving the completed record and its supporting audit trail.

01

Prepare the document

Review the Kick Counts fields and confirm the patient, observation period, and healthcare context.
02

Deliver to signer

Send the completed Kick Counts form to the designated signer through signNow.
03

Complete signer review

The signer reviews the recorded movement information and completes required signature fields.
04

Archive completed record

signNow stores the signed Kick Counts record with its completion certificate and audit trail.

Preserve Kick Counts records properly

Accurate field review, audit-trail export, retention analysis, and controlled archival protect the usefulness of each completed Kick Counts record.

Verify patient and observation details

Before sending, confirm that the Kick Counts record identifies the patient, observation date or period, responsible provider, and signer. Compare every placed signNow field with the source document so missing movement entries or incorrect dates are not silently accepted.

Export the audit trail promptly

Export the completed Kick Counts form together with signNow’s audit trail and certificate of completion. Preserve the original file, signed PDF, event history, and access record as one linked healthcare record for later review.

Apply the correct retention period

Apply the retention period required for the record’s classification. HIPAA-covered records must be retained for six years from creation or the last effective date under 45 CFR §164.530(j); state healthcare rules may require longer periods.

Protect the completed healthcare record

Store signed Kick Counts records in an access-controlled archive with encryption at rest and in transit. Limit access to authorized care, compliance, and records personnel, and review permissions when staff roles change.

Privacy pitfalls with Kick Counts

  • Including patient identifiers or clinical details beyond the Kick Counts purpose can increase unnecessary protected health information exposure during signing and storage.
  • Skipping the electronic-record consent disclosure can leave a consumer-facing healthcare workflow without required paper-record and withdrawal procedures under ESIGN.
  • Assigning broad team permissions can expose completed Kick Counts records to staff without a care, compliance, or records-management need.
  • Sending an unreviewed template can place incorrect dates, signer assignments, or movement fields into a patient’s completed record.

Troubleshoot Kick Counts signing

Resolve field, authentication, consent, plan, and retention questions before the signed Kick Counts record enters the patient file.

Upload the original Kick Counts file again, then verify that required patient, date, movement, and signature fields are placed before sending. signNow templates and auto-detection can reduce manual placement, but the sender remains responsible for checking field accuracy.

Use signNow’s SMS OTP or another enabled authentication method to confirm the signer’s identity. For healthcare records, apply access controls and a HIPAA-compliant workflow with a Business Associate Agreement when protected health information is involved.

A signature workflow does not replace clinical review or medical advice. Route unusual movement information to the responsible healthcare professional, and use Kick Counts only according to the provider’s instructions and applicable clinical procedures.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, mobile apps, and audit trails at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15 per user per month annually; verify plan suitability for the intended healthcare workflow.

For consumer-facing electronic records, ESIGN requires disclosure of the right to receive paper records, electronic access capability, and withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Configure the disclosure before requesting a patient’s electronic signature.

Export the completed Kick Counts document and audit trail from signNow, then retain them under the applicable healthcare record policy. HIPAA-covered records require six years from creation or the last effective date under 45 CFR §164.530(j).
