2019-Oct-11 Sign Button
Whenever a user is doing something, such as adding a new allergy to the chart, or placing a medication order, or writing a note, they have several options on what they can do
They can delete what they are working on.
They can move what they are working on to a drafts folder to complete later
They can sign off and complete what they are working on.
Current: preferred example

Some Thoughts
Close
we need a button that is obvious on how to get out of this part of the EHR. Hence: Close
Move to drafts
I wanted to avoid the word 'save'. Some people may assume save is the final step.
Move to drafts, suggests it will be stored in the drafts area to come back to later
I also didn't want a button that said 'save' on screen beside a button that read 'sign'. People may misinterpret the save button as something they have to click along the way..when in fact they only have to click it when they want to move this to drafts
Sign & add allergy
not sure what the right terms here are
In medicine, one speaks of 'signing their orders' or 'signing a document'. Sign is the right word.
the second word after sign is based on the document being created.
What is the other best word to suggest things are done: submit? complete? Ideally we can find a word that works across orders, actions, documents, etc. Submit I think is used generally across online sites to suggest something is complete and being sent to the server.
