Signing Treatment Plans on an iPad
If you need a patient to sign a treatment plan, you can make it paperless with YAPI! Using YAPI Writer - our easy to install digital printer - you can transfer any treatment plans you create in Dentrix, Open Dental or Eaglesoft to the iPad for a patient to sign. You can even prepare treatment plans in advance and have them ready for when the patient arrives. Follow the instructions below to transfer prepared treatment plans to YAPI so they can review and sign them or watch our video Signing a Treatment Plan on an iPad (Video).
STOP! Do you have YAPI Writer installed on your workstation? If not (or if you're not sure), follow the instructions in our article Installing & Testing YAPI Writer before proceeding.
