Notes are legal records once signed. EnWella enforces a hard rule: only providers (DoctorMembership) can primary-sign clinical notes.
Primary signing
When you finish a note, tap Sign. We timestamp, lock the body, and release records to the patient per your release policy.
Co-signing trainee notes
Maria Lopez · Dr. Lin Yu
Original · signed Apr 12, 4:51pm
Plan: continue sertraline 50 mg daily. Recheck in 6 weeks.
Amendment · signed Apr 12, 5:14pm
Correction: 50 mg 100 mg — dose typed wrong; intended 100 mg as discussed
Addendum · signed Apr 14, 8:02am
Patient called: tolerating new dose well, no new side effects after 48 hours
If a template requires co-sign, the trainee signs first, the supervising provider co-signs second. Both signatures are timestamped and visible in the patient's record — and any later addendum or amendment appends below the original instead of overwriting it.
