Patient Signatures

ICANotes supports the use of a Topaz signature pad for capturing patient signatures on clinical documents. This is achieved using a special model of Topaz signature pad that is compatible with our software and server environment:  Model Number T-LBK462-BSB-R. It must be this model number as a serial port emulator is required.

The pads can be purchased online for about $350. One potential source is Provantage.com.
