How do I capture EVV GPS audit coordinates and supervisor digital e-signatures?
Ensure 100% 21st Century Cures Act EVV compliance with real-time browser GPS geolocation capture and touch/stylus HTML5 supervisor signature sign-offs.
What You Need Before Starting
- Mobile device, tablet, or workstation with location services enabled.
- Active shift scheduled in Time Tracking.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Clock In with Real-Time GPS Geolocation
When arriving at the hospital unit or client home, open Time Tracking on your device or mobile PWA and tap the green "Clock In" button.
Authorize Location Services
When prompted by the browser/PWA, allow location access. The system records exact GPS latitude, longitude, timestamp, and accuracy radius for 21st Century Cures Act compliance.
Log Meal Breaks & Clock Out
Record non-billable meal breaks during your shift. At departure, tap "Clock Out" to log the ending GPS coordinate and calculate total regular and overtime hours.
Open the Supervisor E-Signature Modal
Select the completed timesheet and click "Sign / Approve" to present the digital verification pad to the unit charge nurse or facility supervisor.
Draw Touch or Stylus Signature
The supervisor signs directly on the HTML5 vector canvas using their finger or stylus pen, entering their printed full name and professional title.
Lock & Verify Audit-Proof Timesheet
Click "Submit Verification". The timesheet receives a "21st Century Cures Act EVV Verified" badge, embedding the cryptographic signature and GPS trail to prevent timesheet fraud.
Pro-Tips & Best Practices
- Supervisors can sign directly on clinicians’ smartphones or tablets without requiring their own separate login account.
- Timesheet PDF and Excel exports automatically include embedded Google Maps audit links and high-resolution supervisor signature images for billing audits.
Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting
What is the federal 21st Century Cures Act EVV requirement?
Federal legislation mandates electronic verification of six data points for Medicaid/Medicare services: type of service, individual receiving care, date of service, location of service, staff member providing service, and exact clock-in/out times.
What happens if a clinician clocks in outside the facility radius?
The timesheet records the actual GPS punch distance and flags the record for manager review in the portal, allowing coordinators to audit off-site punches before payroll approval.
