Adding a Signature to Outbound Faxes on the iPad

You can sign your outbound faxes with a digital signature.

All patient data listed in this article is sample data. This is not a real person or real patient data.

1. To begin, select the document you would like to fax. This can be from the Patient's History or you can select the fax option from the clinical note.

Tap the arrow icon() and select Send Fax.

--OR--

From the clinical note, select View Complete Note. Tap on the menu () icon and select Send Fax.

2. Enter the recipient for the fax and select the Sign button.

3. After you select Sign, a preview of your fax will open. There are two tabs at the top of the page: Move and Draw. Move allows you to move to the location of the fax that you wish to sign. Draw allows your finger movements to act as a pen on the document and will allow you to create your signature.

For the Move option, tap the pen () icon. Next, if you have a signature on file already, it will appear for you to tap to add to the fax. Or you can draw one in the box. Underneath the signature will be the printed name of the provider along with a time and date stamp. Tap Save when finished.

For the Draw option, after moving to the desired location, select the Draw button and draw in your signature. When complete, hit the Save button.

4. To confirm your signature, a green Signed indicator will appear. Select Send and your sent fax will now include a copy of your signature in the location you placed it.
