Instructions

1.  To begin lets access this page by navigating to Incident Documentation > EMS Setup > Signature Setup.

2. Select on the Form Language tab located at the top of the page.

3. To create a new form to use in your ePCRs select on the Add button or you can edit any existing form by selecting on the pencil icon in the Actions column.

4. Now from the dropdowns select the Reason for Signing, what Language to use, then complete the body using the From Builder. Remember to select Add or Save when completed.

5. Users can create multiple Form Languages for the same form using different languages to appear in the Reasons for Signing within an ePCR.

In this example I have created a Refusal of Care in English and French.

6. To create a duplicate Reason for Signing form follow the same process in step 4 but select  another Language to appear.

7. Now when obtaining signatures within an ePCR, from the Reasons for Signature dropdown you are able to select both languages to appear.
