does any one know how to add a signature
hey trying to add client signature lines on the treatment plans so therapist and client have reviewed and signed.

I don’t think there is a way on the treatment plan tab to do this. Possible workarounds might be to have another doc you send out in the assessments cat that the client electronically signs to start you’ve reviewed it together.
I can’t think of an easy way to get their specific treatment plan signed and in the file. Everything I can think of involves lots of steps. i.e. print Tx plan, have both you and client sign, scan or upload a photo of signed copy to file.

I really dislike having to take multiple steps to get one form signed. That's why I switched to an EHR system. I was hoping Simple Practice would have a solution for this. I put in a ticket today and hope they can resolve this, as it is necessary for us to have signatures in my state.

I would also like the option for treatment plans to to get an electronic signature from the client. My workaround is that I have created an assessment version of the treatment plan, where I have added fields for client signature and date. Then I download the document to my hard drive, then I upload it to the client's chart, then "share" it to the client portal. Then the client has to print it out, sign it with a pen, then upload it to the client portal. It's a ridiculous number of steps.

Deborah: SP refers to these as "consent documents" and you can learn more about them here: https://support.simplepractice.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007653252-Where-do-I-find-my-consent-documents-and-intake-forms-

I would like to add to this topic and state that most agencies will be looking for some way to share a treatment plan and then have a client sign it, stating they reviewed the document. SP suggests workarounds, such as creating a separate "I reviewed my treatment plan with my provider" consent forms, but a treatmnet plan client can sign should be a standard feature for an EHR.
