Can an alert be shown only when trying to sign a document? I would like to have a message popup if an office visit is missing something to stop it from being signed.

Currently, what you are asking for is not possible. While MEL does execute one final cycle before the end update dialogue is presented, there are no mechanisms that prohibit it from being presented once called nor is there a mechanism to detect it has been called that could be used to fire a warning.
The best you can currently do is to warn or prevent the user from closing a form until required data is populated using page close handler functionality (see EMR Help\data symbols for details). It will be limited to the specific form and will depend on the user actually opening the form.
Best approach would be to include your requirements on a form that is most likely to be used last (ie. Assessment/Plan) in the form of a USEROK. If you force the data, be certain that it can be documented on the form that triggers it, otherwise the update will be caught in a loop that cannot be halted (unless you are OK with ctrl-alt-del exits).
