Create an eSignature

Create an eSignature with which to electronically sign documents.

Before you begin

An electronic signature is only effective if the person receiving it, such as a specialist, accepts the signature in that form.

Procedure

  1. Open the MedicalDirector Care widget from the Smartbar and select User Settings.
  2. Locate and click the eSignatures settings button, as shown below.
    If this is the first time you have created an eSignature, the Default eSignature Preview window will be blank, as shown in the example.

  3. Select either the Upload eSignature tab or the Draw eSignature tab to enter a new eSignature.
    • The Upload eSignature tab allows you to upload an image of a signature that you already have saved on your computer.
    • The Draw eSignature tab allows you to create a new eSignature, manually, by using your finger or stylus on a touch-screen or tablet.
