What is the purpose of E-signature in Phreesia, and where is it applied?

• A. To encrypt patient data during transmission
• B. To generate appointment reminders
• C. To store insurance cards securely
• D. To capture consent and authorization on forms such as treatment consent, privacy acknowledgment, and financial policy; captured electronically during check-in

Answer: (D)

Electronic signatures in Phreesia are used to capture patient consent and authorization on forms—such as treatment consent, privacy acknowledgment, and financial policy—directly during check-in. This creates a verifiable, time-stamped record that the patient has reviewed and agreed to these terms, streamlining the intake process and supporting compliance with consent requirements. Other listed functions belong to different features: encryption protects data in transit, reminders are automated messages, and storing insurance cards is about document management, not obtaining consent. So the e-signature serves to officially document consent at the point of care.
