A provider can sign off on many different items, but you can specify which items are required.
Note: Only the providers with an assignment and a relationship to a user are able to sign off on items.

Select the enterprise and practice to specify which practice the set up is for, which limits the number of items (at the practice level) that can be included for review within the PAQ.
