Cross-Department Commands and Lists
You should add a short organizational ID for all lists within the intended organization,
including ‘global’ commands and commands that are for applications and windows that are
available for multiple (or all) departments\groups.
For example:
mgh_referral_source
In this case, ‘mgh’ is the organization id and ‘referral_source’ is the root name of the list.
Department-specific commands and lists
For command set lists that are unique to specific departments or groups within the
organization, you should add an additional ID to minimize conflicts between the groups.
For example:
mgh_rad_position
In this case, ‘rad’ is the department and ‘position’ is the root name of the list.
Application-specific commands and lists
For lists that are intended for specific applications, you should add an ID for that application to
minimize conflicts between applications.
For example:
mgh_rad_ehr_function
In this case ‘ehr’ (i.e. - ‘electronic health record’) could be the prefix for a specific EHR system
used at the organization and ‘function’ is a list of specific functions to access in that EHR.
Update existing Command Sets instead of creating new ones
Before you create a new Command Set, consider adding the new commands to an existing
Command Set.
This is especially recommended if:
n you need to add new commands for users
n the commands are logically related.
n the commands use the same lists.
This can help minimize the occurrence of list conflicts. The lists in different Command Sets
should hopefully have different names and contents.
How conflicts between commands are identified and
displayed
Conflict Checking in the Dragon client when loading Command Sets
The commands can conflict by having the same name and availability or by using a conflicting
list name. The contents of a command (For example, steps or text) do not have to be the
same to cause a conflict. Commands that are identical to Command Set commands (name,
