Wiki Mechanical signature?

What is a mechanical signature???

In trying to get an answer I see it often listed with signature stamp examples.

Are they the same, and that they are both not acceptable for provider signature.

Thank you

In EMR's, there should be electronic signatures. Its an actual image of the provider's signature that print's out on medical records. Stamped signatures are not allowed. I have never heard of a mechanical signature. Electronic ones, however, are allowed.
