Case Study: Hospice Savannah achieves more time to focus on patients with DocuSign eSignature

Hospice Savannah Finds More Time to Focus on Patients Using DocuSign eSignature

Hospice Savannah, led by CEO Dr. Kathleen Benton, provides end-of-life care and faced delays and administrative burden from paper-based consent and intake processes—especially when family members lived far away—slowing access to care and complicating rapid community responses like COVID-19 vaccination clinics.

By implementing DocuSign eSignature and PowerForms (via iPads, QR codes and an “orchestrator” nurse workflow), Hospice Savannah moved signatures and intake to minutes, launched a vaccination site in about a week, batch- uploaded immunization records to the state registry, and improved patient, caregiver and clinician experience while maintaining data privacy—freeing staff for more face-to-face patient time.
