Signature for Secure Messages in PNC Web

How to create or edit your signature for secure messages in PNC Web

Note: If you do not set up your signature for Secure Messages in PNC, your messages will not have a signature at all (the default for Signature Text is an empty field).

Go to your PNC Chart (1) > Provider (2) > Messages (3) > Options (4)

The Message Options box opens > Type your signature in the Signature Text (1) box > Click OK (2) to save > Click Close (3) to exit.

To have consistent signatures across the organization, the credentials should be displayed using the following guidelines:

  • Order: Use the following order to display credentials after your name in the Signature Text:

1.  Highest earned educational degree
2.  Licensure
3.  Certifications
              Ex. FirstName LastName, MSN, APRN, CNM

  • Style: Credentials should be comma-separated from the name and from each other, and they do not include punctuation.
