Templates
The use of templates in the transcription process can provide many benefits to both Physician and Transcriptionist. Benefits include:
| • | Standardized format for documents |
| • | Greater speed and efficiency in document production |
| • | Incorporation of Custom Letterhead and Graphics directly in the document |
| • | Auto fill "tags" can be used to pull patient information automatically into the document, reducing or eliminating demographic errors in documents (available when an Inbound Integration is present - see Inbound/Outbound Integrations Overview) |
| • | Potential for cost savings to the Physician practise (contact your Scribe representative for more information on reducing transcription costs through the use of templates). |
Creation of templates for new customers is often included in the customer setup. Once the new practise is "launched" Scribe can provide training for your practise's staff on creation of new templates.
Digital Signatures (also known as electronic signature)
The topics in this chapter describe how to create a digital signature file for use on the Scribe platform. Click on the links below to navigate to the individual Topics listed:

Digital Signature can increase work flow efficiency as well as creating a more attractive and professional finished document.
| • | Digital Signature is attractive and fully customizable, available as text only or as a combination text and Word graphic of the Physician's actual signature |
| • | Digital Signature is automatically applied when the Approve button is clicked (which also moves the document into Archive), which removes the step of printing, signing and storing paper copies. |
| • | Time/date "stamp" can be applied at time of signing (optional) |
| • | Digitally signed documents can be faxed, emailed or printed directly from the /scribe platform, saving Physician and Administrative time |
| • | Digital Signature is considered a legal signature by most institutions |
