Which comes first?  The Chicken or the Egg?


You have chosen an EMR and you see the value that Dragon Medical Software will have for entering patient notes into the system.  Do you train on the EMR first or learn Dragon Speech Recognition Software first?  Age old question, the chicken or the egg?  Well, one thing is for sure, if you train on both at the same time, you could end up with scrambled eggs and be like chickens running around with their heads cut off!
