The progression

Every deck is graded 1 to 3: level 1 is the reflex core, the top level is where the specialists live. One move from each, so you can see how far it goes.

  1. Level 14 moves

    Trigger a SmartPhrase by typing a period plus an abbreviation

    .abbrev

    the whole SmartTool system starts with a period — the fastest way to fill a note

    …and 3 more at this level

  2. Level 26 moves

    Enter a date relative to today by day offset

    t+1

    tomorrow, last week, three days out — arithmetic beats picking a calendar

    …and 5 more at this level

  3. Level 33 moves

    Insert the patient's current medication list

    .cmed

    medication reconciliation in one token — the note writes itself

    …and 2 more at this level

How graduation works. Drill until every move in the deck holds at ≥95% first-try, under 800ms median, across two separate days. Then the deck is done — and you get a certificate stating exactly that, plus a LinkedIn credential in one click.
