Send a report for review

After dictating the report, send it to the assigned Attending or Section for review.

  1. Select Send for Review on the Home tab or use the voice command Send for Review. The report is sent to the selected Attending or Section.

    • The Attending’s Pending Signature queue,
    • The Section queue, if a Section was selected,
  3. If configured, confirm the action when prompted.
