[Fwd: Re: Can you suggest a way to manage this process?]

Good idea, but if I recall correctly from previous posts, Elizabeth is

in the med writing arena (as am I), which means that sign-offs are 
exactly that--real signatures, so it will have to "go paper" eventually, 
anyway. The method I suggested allows for the sign-off and review in one 
fell swoop, thus eliminating the need to bring people within 24 hours 
paper copies of the same document that they've already invested many 
hours doing electronically. For med/pharm writers, the actual sign-off 
holds as much importance as the completed document itself (albeit for 
other reasons), which, I imagine, is quite different from many process 
used by TWRLers in other fields.

I know electronic signatures are a possibility, but not all workplaces 
have implemented them [yet]. Until then, a strong paper-based process in 
unavoidable for many of us.
