Performing Dictation

You can perform dictation before finalizing a patient visit on the Finalize Visit template.

You can use the Dictate button and No Dictation check box on the Finalize Visit template for performing dictation. The Dictate button and No Dictation check box appear only if the dictation feature is configured in the Dictation panel on the Practice Configuration template.

Dictation on the Finalize Visit template

If you dictate using a method that delivers dictation directly to the NextGen® Enterprise EHR (for example, NextGen® Mobile or Nuance® Dragon), you need not configure dictation so that the use of dictation does not require additional steps before the office note can be generated.
