Notes on the scanned signature
- Accepted file formats: JPEG or PNG.

ℹ️ Additional information
Is my signature protected in your databases?
Transmitting your signature to us can raise many questions. Don't worry, our databases are fully protected and secure. We guarantee that your signature will be carefully preserved, just as your patients' clinical data is.
What happens if a colleague takes my mandate to print an order? Will my signature appear on the printout?
Please note that your signature is only available for your personal use. If a colleague works on your behalf in the EMR and goes to the prescriber, they will not be able to print the order with your scanned signature. This option is not available because it is reserved exclusively for you to ensure the integrity of your signature.
