Remote signing API

6 votes

API for signing things remotely, removing the need to developers to build their own signing logic. Primary use case is signing prescriptions. To be used in conjunction with the new EPS FHIR API.

The current core use case would be to allow prescribing clinicians to electronically sign a prescription using approved NHSD non smartcard authentication methods (e.g. biometrics) whilst away from their desk and therefore the smartcard reader.

Could we add some more detail regarding what is within the scope here? Is this for patients / clinicians / both, and do we mean freehand signature or electronic signature by other means (e.g associated to NHS Login credentials).
