Best practices for Dragon Medical One Auto-texts

Here are some best practices to help you speed up your documentation using Dragon Medical One Auto-texts.

  • Name your Auto-text something that will be easy to remember and use while you are dictating your notes.

  • Pause briefly after dictating and before saying the Auto-text command so Dragon Medical One knows to treat it as a command rather than as part of your text.

  • Use a trigger word. Depending on the best practices of your organization, you may want to use a trigger word preceding the name of your command, such as insert SOAP note vs. SOAP note).

  • Create Auto-texts as you document. Select text and use the command create Auto-text to quickly and efficiently create Auto-texts from within a document or report.

  • Use square brackets to insert variable fields into a block of standard text.

  • Use voice commands to manage your Auto-texts. Use accept defaults to clear any remaining brackets from variable fields once you are finished updating a note.

    • Remember, the default value will remain.
