Provider Signatures

Each provider can save a signature once and reuse it on notes, instead of drawing it every time. A saved signature can be stamped into a note and is added to the bottom of the note when it is signed off.

Adopt your signature

  1. Go to Settings → Profile.
  2. In the Signature section, choose Adopt signature.
  3. Pick one of two ways to create it:
    • Draw — sign with your mouse, finger, or trackpad.
    • Type — type your name and choose a handwriting style.
  4. Choose Save signature. Your signature now shows in your profile.
Use Change signature to replace it or Remove to clear it at any time. Staff who manage users can also set or change a signature for another provider from Settings → Users by opening that person and editing their Signature.

Add a signature field to a note template

  1. Go to Settings → Note Templates and open a template.
  2. From Add Fields, choose Provider signature.
  3. Optionally add instructions that show above the signature picker.
  4. Save the template.

Stamp a signature on a note

When you fill out a note that has a provider-signature field, it starts on your own name and shows your saved signature. You can pick a different provider from the list. If the provider you pick has not saved a signature yet, the note shows a reminder to add one in Settings → Profile.

Signing off

When a note is signed off, the signing provider’s signature is added to the bottom of the note. If the signer has not saved a signature, Decoda warns them first, and the note shows their name with a “no signature on file” note instead of an image. Saved signatures also appear when the note is printed or exported.
