Signing documents      

You can only apply signatures to a document for patients, providers, and staff. You can apply a signature to a document for each patient, provider, or staff member attached to the document.

Once you sign a document, you can no longer edit it. You can still attach the document to more sources, but you cannot change the Reference Date, Document Type, Description, and Note.

To sign a document

1.   In the Document Tree, select the document that you want to sign.

2.   Right-click the document, and then select Sign Document.

The Sign Document dialog box appears.  

Note: The Name field automatically populates with the name of the patient, provider, or staff member you selected in the Document Center. To change this name, type the new name in the Name field.

The current date appears automatically in the Date field. You cannot change this date.

3.   Sign the document in the Signature field using a mouse or a light pen.

To re-sign the document with a better signature, click Clear to clear the signature and sign the document again.

4.   To save the signature, click OK.

Once you sign the document, you can no longer edit it.
