Methods for Signing Uploaded Documents

• Method One: Adobe Reader's Built-in Tool

  Use the built-in tool of Adobe Reader to have the Physician create a signature, sign the documentation needed then have the file uploaded to BestNotes.
  • Pros: Free, works quickly and easily
  • Cons: Ties the doctor to a single computer unless they go through the process of setting up their signature on multiple computers.

• Method Two: Third-Party Tool (e.g., HelloSign)

  Use a third-party tool like www.hellosign.com to have the files uploaded and signed by the doctor.
  • Pros: Web-based so doctors can sign from anywhere
  • Cons: Cost can increase significantly based on number of documents that need a signature.

• Method Three: BestNotes Internal Template

  Upload the file in BestNotes. Have a designated template that is completed by the staff who uploaded the file. This template would give the name of the uploaded file(s), have a statement that the Dr. has reviewed these files, and then place the signature. This template would then require the signature of the doctor in the For Review.
  • Pros: Everything is done in BestNotes.
  • Cons: Dr must go to client's page and filter for uploaded files to find the names listed in the note. Dr is not signing the note directly only a proxy note saying that he has.
