Melanie,
Also look at an inexpensive program called Shortkeys (www.shortkeys.com). There could be standard shortkeys that all the docs could learn. It really helps to cut down on the tying and, when combined with AC templates, makes charting a breeze. It will also work with Dragon. For instance, just say "dhi space" and before your eyes will appears a phrase like "I discussed general health issues with the patient such as exercise, diet, safety, wearing of seat belts, protection from sun-exposure, and routine health maintenance for their age and gender."

"It's a good thing for a doctor to have prematurely grey hair and itching piles. It makes him appear to know more than he does and gives him an expression of concern which the patient interprets as being on his behalf. "
