A Signature deficiency indicates that the document requires a physician's signature.

Note:

If a document needs to be rotated, rotate it and save the rotation before creating a deficiency. If a document is rotated after a deficiency is created, then the deficiency's orientation on the document changes.

To create a Signature deficiency:

  1. Select a document in the Analysis window.
  2. Use the Specialty and Responsible Physician fields to search for and select a physician to assign the deficiency.
    1. If you want to narrow the search by a particular specialization (such as cardiology), select a specialty from the Specialty field.
    2. Click the Responsible Physician field.
    3. Enter all or part of a physician's name or ID.
    4. Select the physician from the list that appears below the text field.
  3. Click Signature.
  4. In the Document Viewer, click the location on the document where the physician's signature is required.

    A placeholder image is added to the document for the signature text and date signed, similar to the one shown below.

    Once the signature is placed, the Signature deficiency is created and submitted to the responsible physician. Depending on your system's settings, the physician's signature text may include the physician number.

    Note:

    Deficiencies placed on the right edge of a document are automatically rotated 90 degrees.
