Microsoft Edge Extension for Dragon Medical One - 4x3

Up until now, if Dragon Medical One (DMO) users wanted full functionality within Microsoft Edge and any Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system used within Edge, a hack had to be employed to utilize Google Chrome’s DMO extension. In some positive news, Microsoft has released a version of Edge which provides a much easier method for adding Google Chrome’s DMO extension.

Why is this important? A number of Canadian EMRs have optimized, or are in process of optimizing, their web-based solutions for the Microsoft Edge web browser. The DMO web extension allows for full text control (the ability to edit and correct by voice as well as deploying auto-text with Dragon voice fields aka variables).
