ah.. the question is, though, is a picture of your signature LEGAL on a Rx. Controlled substances require an ORIGINAL signature - that's federal law. State law in NY requires an ORIGINAL signature on all meds that the STATE says are controlled even if they're not considered controlled substances by the feds. For non-controlled substances, electronic signatures are OK most places.
Yes, an image of a signature is actually a pretty easy hack to put on the Rx, before writing the code, I'd want to look at all sides of this question, and maybe get a clarification from (for example, with me being in NY) New York DEA and Dept of Education (they BOTH govern prescribing in NY) as well as federal DEA.
If it's legal, though, it WOULD be way cool.
