Bert, I think that the thread was long ago hijacked.

Ah. Congress, being a problem; that I could see. But I always thought that the AMA stood up for doctors. And before everyone stands up to tell me otherwise, just let me say that I now remember, from the postings I've read on this forum, how many of you feel about the AMA.

I agree, but would point out that it took 10.3 seconds just now to dictate the note from scratch using Dragon, 14.5 seconds to fill out the checklist. Other than not forgetting things, it didn't do much. Checklists for not forgetting are very useful, but the way AC is marketed it is not to be thorough, but to be fast. Everyone wants the note to be done when they leave the room.

Interesting. I suppose there are trade-offs with all the different documenting tools.
