Signing Preferences

The Signing tab of the preferences area allows you to select the number of days in which you are able to unsign a chart that has been signed. Use the following steps to configure the Signing preferences.

 

 

  1. Click Edit > Preferences.
     

  2. Click the Signing tab.
     

  3. Check the Auto-Sign option if you want a chart note to be automatically signed once it is printed.
     

  4. Check the Confirm Signing Labs option if you want a confirmation dialog to appear when signing labs. If this option is unchecked a confirmation dialog will appear when signing labs.

    NOTE: The Confirm Signing Labs preference is a user-specific setting and will be based upon whichever user is currently logged onto the system when the change to the preference is made.
     

  5. Check the Allow Group Signing of Results option to the allow you the ability to sign multiple lab results for a patient when the results are from the same vendor and for same collection date. If this preference is unchecked, then lab results from the same vendor and collection date will have to be signed individually for a patient.
     

  6. In the Unsign Period, enter the Number of Days (between 3 and 9999) you want to for the period that unsigning a chart is allowed.
     

  7. Check the Leave note background unchanged when signed option is you want the background color will remain set to the default white color, thereby allowing you to easily view and read the note information, instead of turning dark gray.
