Pulling Provider Signature on Referrals, Labs, and Medications

 

Steps:

1. Make sure that the check box to “Use Provider Signature When Available” is checked in: Admin → Locations → Preferences

2. Providers MUST have the privilege PersonnelEntry granted in order to add a signature. This can be granted temporarily until the provider adds their signature.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Make sure that the Provider has a signature in the system in: Admin → Personnel → Personnel Entry → select the provider in Personnel drop down menu selector→ Provider Info → Signature. The Provider Info tab only appears for personnel that is marked as a provider type (Physician, PA, etc.) role.

 

          

       NOTE: Users can also access this Personnel screen directly from the Main Menu Bar at their logged in name with the arrow icon and then “My Profile”

 

 

 

4. To create a signature, the provider must be logged in as him/her self. Have the provider navigate to the location in step 3
   1. using the mouse, for a laptop or desktop, or a finger or stylus, for a touch screen, have the provider add in a Signature in the box
      • try to have the signature as centered as possible
      • if the provider needs to re-sign, click on the “Clear” button in the top right corner of the box
   2. when the provider feels his/her signature is acceptable, click on the “Accept” button
      • the Signer's Name should be automatically populated with the provider's name
   3. click on the “Save” button in the top right corner of the application to save the updated entry

 

           

 

 

Tips:

On a medication:

• Providers can print preview from anywhere and still see their signature pull in
• Non-Providers must print from the Encounter → Plans → Medications; unless the prescription is written outside the Encounter in Medical History → Medications
• No free hand medications or controlled medications will print with a provider signature.
  • Free Hand = medications that are not chosen from the pop-up list provided through SureScripts
  • Controlled = Scheduled medications that require a ink signature from the provider
• When printing a group of medications, if one of the selected medication is a controlled or free hand medication, then the provider's signature will not pull in to the print out.

 

On a Lab:

• Signatures do not pull in Lab Requisition forms
