For those wanting a jump start in the process of using commands, the following command sets are offered for your importation and use within Dragon 10 Medical (or the professional or medical 9) . Please consider these a start and feel free to modify or change any of the commands within the set. These were created primarily for the author’s cardiology practice and may or may not be applicable to your patients and work-flow. Look them over and be sure you agree with their content before using them with your own documentation. The point to using them is to save time but not to misrepresent anything you observed or discussed during your patient encounter. These commands will not work in version 8 of Dragon. These can be viewed for downloading at: http://www.speechrecsolutions.com/Commands2/ or by clicking on the individual links below.
