The Dictation module provides a fast way to create outgoing letters or reports using the day-list of patients, and also perform other administrative functions such as invoicing etc.

Most items that are typed via the Dictation module are held in a separate database and do not appear in the patients file until they have been 'processed'.  The exceptions are financial transactions.  Form letters (which are deemed to be administrative in nature and should not be used for clinical notes) will appear directly in the patient file once they have either been printed or emailed.
