The EMR Notes module provides you a way to store a provider's signature and import it into an EMR progress note or a consent form.
Before you can do this, you must capture and save the provider's signatures as an image file and save it on your computer. You must also set up the print layout for EMR notes and consent forms, and select the Include Provider Signature on Signed Document Printout option.
After a signature has been added, you can use the Author Signature button on the Create EMR Note or Create Consent Form window to insert it.
You must have authorization via the provider log-on, and be the author of the progress note or consent form, in order to sign the note or form.
To save a provider's signature in the software:
Select Tables > Practice > Providers/Staff Members. The Provider/Staff Search window is displayed.
Select a provider and click Ok. The Provider/Staff Data Entry window is displayed.
Click the Signature tab.
This tab is only enabled when the EMR Components are licensed.
Use the Provider Log-in drop-down list to select a provider log on.
Double-click the Signature on file section. The Select a Signature window is displayed.
Navigate to and select the appropriate signature and click Open. The file is imported.
Click Ok.
