Note Content: This is a limited group of text commands related to simple portions of the office or admission note that you might want to enter in a simple manner if completely negative, such as lack of allergies, a negative family history, or a negative review of systems.
Note Template: if you don't already have structured note templates built into your EMR or documentation system, this is a command set that will spit out the bare bones of an admission note, simple office SOAP note, etc. These structured note templates come with navigation fields built in to facilitate quick navigation through a note using either "dragon templates" (saying "next field" or "previous field") or movement to a specific navigation site using the "navigation field" command in the category below.
Navigation commands: this is a short set of commands that extends the "dragon template" navigation functionality of Dragon 10 Medical by allowing you to navigate directly to a specific field, rather than navigating sequentially forward or backward in a document.
Outline and List Commands: This set of commands is intended to help any user create simple lists and outlines without having to go through the labor of saying "New line, numeral one period", etc.
