After the participant and any additional signatories sign and submit the eConsent form in MyVeeva for Patients, the signed form is uploaded to SiteVault.
In most cases, a task to countersign the form is routed for completion by a Site Administrator or Staff that is assigned to the study team. The exception is when a site signature is deemed unnecessary and an eConsent form is configured without a site signature placeholder. In these cases, the site user will have the option to approve the document without a signature (Make Current without signing) or reject the document (Reject and set to Declined).
When a countersignature is applied, the PDF files in SiteVault and MyVeeva for Patients update to include the electronic countersignature on the last page. All countersignatures completed within SiteVault are captured on the Participant’s Signatures tab.
If a task is assigned, the approver can follow the task links. To countersign without a task link, complete the following steps:
- Navigate to Studies.
- Select a study.
- Select the Participants tab.
- Select a participant.
- Select the Consent Forms tab.
- Select Complete on the relevant consent form.
- Follow the prompts to complete.
