[Histonet] Manual

[Monson, Frederick]

Morning Rebecca,
	Quickly, a simple method.

	Medical Director approves a protocol.
	Assistant converts editable protocol to Adobe Acrobat PDF file
that is sealed with a password known only to Medical Director and
his/her supervisor.  All published protocols are viewable but NOT
alterable unless agreed to by Medical Director.
	Readers can easily print a protocol in an approved format or
simply read on lone.

Adobe Acrobat can be used right in Word as a "Print Option", saved, then
opened and pssworded, though I suspect there is an easier way.  

You can also password protect a Word Document, but I bet that is not as
secure as a PDF file.

Cheers,

Fred Monson

Has anyone out there in histoland put their manuals on line and done
away with the paper version?  This is what we are working on.  We will
have an icon on all computer so the manual is easily accessible.  The
problem I am having, I can't figure out is how to have the medical
director sign the procedure electronically. I have played around some
and haven't been able to figure it out yet.  Any help or suggestions is
appreciated.  Thank you in advanced.
