As a medical document established and stored digitally, electronic medical records conform to the category of "data message" defined in this Law. Therefore, there is no legal obstacle to the use of electronic signatures in electronic medical records.

However, it should be pointed out that in this article, an electronic signature must be "contained in and attached to" a data message. That is to say, as a signed data message, an independent identifiable data entity must be clearly formed, and the electronic signature data needs to be included in this independent entity.

The content of electronic medical orders must be entered by the doctor who has obtained the prescription right in our hospital, and the system defaults to the operation time as the start or stop time of medical orders. The contents of doctor's orders should be accurate and clear, and each doctor's order only contains one content, and the release time should be specific to minutes.

Under normal circumstances, doctors may not give oral orders. When it is necessary to give oral medical advice in rescuing critically ill patients or during surgery, the nurse should repeat it, and it can only be carried out after being examined by the doctor. After the rescue or operation, the doctor should immediately fill in the doctor's advice truthfully, and enter the words "(supplement)" in the power of attorney. By default, the system inputs the operation time as the release time of doctor's orders.
