2. In your message center, find the fax that you would like to sign by selecting Incoming Messages or Incoming Fax.

Note: You can also tap Draw to add a signature. However, it will not contain the printed name, date, and time, at the bottom of the signature field.

6. After you finish signing the document, fill out the rest of the form then select Save.

Your document will be saved to the patient's record. You can access your patient's record by selecting 'Patient History' on your patient's navigation menu.
