What’s new for Dragon Medical One 2022.2
mportant information
Using Microsoft Edge WebView2 to display the content of the personalization and help window
Dragon Medical One now uses Microsoft Edge WebView2 to display richer content with improved usability in the Dragon Medical One personalization and help window. To support this improvement, you must deploy the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime component to machines that host Dragon Medical One. Failing to do so will not impact the core functionality of Dragon Medical One but will potentially impact end users interacting with content displayed in the Dragon Medical One personalization and help window. To deploy Microsoft Edge WebView2 to machines hosting Dragon Medical One, install the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Evergreen Standalone component; for more information, see Webview2 – Microsoft Edge Developer.
Microsoft Edge WebView2 deployment in Citrix environments
Currently, some Citrix environments exhibit issues that can cause the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime process to fail working as expected, leading to the Dragon Medical One personalization and help window not displaying properly, and to sometimes terminate with a message visible to end users. As a workaround, you can apply a configuration change to Citrix to disable the Citrix Special Folder Redirection feature (SfrHook) for the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime process. To do so, add the following registry keys to your Citrix environment configuration:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\CtxHook\AppInit_DLLs\SfrHook\msedgewebview2.exe] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\CtxHook\AppInit_DLLs\SfrHook\msedgewebview2.exe]
For Citrix documentation on the registry keys, see: How to Disable Citrix API Hooks on a Per-application Basis
Change of default settings for Citrix virtual channels
Starting with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2109, the ‘Virtual channel allow list’ policy setting will be enabled by default.
This means that Nuance custom virtual channels will no longer work with the default configuration. The policy setting for virtual channels must be disabled (preferred), to allow all virtual channels again, or configured to allow Nuance virtual channels. For more information, see the Nuance Citrix Extension Deployment and Configuration Guide delivered with the Nuance virtual extension package orcontact Nuance Technical Support.
Side-by-side deployment of Dragon Medical One
Running the MSI installer will create a new entry called ‘Dragon Medical One 2022’ in Apps & features, side-by-side to any older versions of Dragon Medical One. Automatically upgrading from an older version is currently not supported.
Philips Virtual Server extension deployment
Dragon Medical One no longer requires Philips Virtual Server device extensions to be deployed on the virtual server; deploying the virtual extensions to the end point is sufficient to enable support of Philips microphone device buttons in Dragon Medical One.What’s new
Support of browser-based EHRs in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge
Dictation at the cursor is now supported for the following EHRs when hosted in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge:athenahealth
Meditech Expanse
Allscripts TouchWorks
eClinicalWorks Web
McKesson
OncoEMR
To support dictation at the cursor in web-based EHRs, you must install the Dragon Medical One web extensions for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
Support of the Dragon Medical One Installer
End users can now deploy Dragon Medical One to their end point using the Dragon Medical One Installer.
Support of Microsoft Windows Server 2022
Administrators can now deploy Dragon Medical One to virtualized environments that are hosted on Microsoft Windows Server 2022.Improvements
Dragon Medical Virtual Assistant support with Nuance PowerMic Mobile
Dragon Medical Virtual Assistant use cases are now supported when using Nuance PowerMic Mobile as input device.
Rapid navigation
The ‘Optimize for rapid navigation’ setting is now correctly applied when documenting in the following applications:Microsoft Edge
Google Chrome
Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft Word
Hotkey configuration
Dragon Medical One now allows hotkeys to be entered one key at a time as an alternative to pressing the full sequence at once. For example, to configure Ctrl+F2, end users can now start editing the hotkey and do one of the following:Press and hold Ctrl and F2, then release both.
Press and release Ctrl, then press and release F2.
Support of WebView2 controls in Cerner Millennium
Improved logging
Log files generated when using Dragon Medical One with WebView2 controls in Cerner Millennium have been renamed from SoD.CommunicationHub_yyyymmdd.log and SoD.HubLauncher_yyyymmdd.log to SoD.CommunicationHubyyyymmdd.log and SoD.HubLauncheryyyymmdd.log. The default location of these log files is the same as for the SoD.log file. In a virtual desktop/application environment, we recommend configuring a user-specific folder as the log file location, for example:
%USERPROFILE%\\Documents\\SoD.CommunicationHubyyyymmdd.log
To configure the log file location of the hub launcher, go to SoD\CommunicationHub, open LauncherAppSettings.json and edit the ‘path’ key.
To configure the log file location of the communication hub, go to SoD\CommunicationHub, open appsettings.json and edit the ‘path’ key.
The default log level is Error. The following log levels are supported:Verbose Debug Information Warning Error Fatal

Vocabulary improvements
The centrally managed Dragon Medical vocabularies were recently updated with the latest words and language models. More than 250 individual improvements and additions were merged into the vocabularies.
These server-side enhancements are applicable to all supported DMO versions. Highlights include:Updated drug names
Troponin levels are now transcribed in Roman numerals
Improved hemoglobin word and number outputs recognition
Improved disambiguation between punctuation mark “.” and the word “period”
Improved capitalization in numbered lists under certain conditions
Added tele-health vocabulary
Auto-punctuation support as preview feature
Auto-Punctuation (Preview)
Auto-punctuation will automatically insert punctuation into your dictation. The speech recognition system will automatically analyze your dictation and through specially trained models add missing comma(,) and period(.) characters.
Remarks:Auto-Punctuation will only affect your dictation. It will not alter any pre-existing, typed, or template text.
You can still explicitly dictate any punctuation marks without any negative side effects.
Please note that the Examples windowpane at the bottom of the auto-punctuation configuration window might overlap with the description and Enable/Disable buttons. Just press “^ Examples” to collapse/minimize the Examples windowpane.
By default, auto-punctuation is disabled. Follow the instructions in the eLearning module linked below to enable auto-punctuation.
This is an early adopter feature and results might vary from person to person. Simply disable automatic punctuation if speech recognition seems less accurate.
Your feedback is welcome; if you find any problems or unexpected results, please let us know by saying “provide feedback”.
Please see the eLearning Module Auto-Punctuation in Dragon Medical One for further details and how to enable this feature.
