Dragon® Medical is the most widely used and successful speech recognition solution in medical practices around the country. Dragon Medical has been selected by more than 180,000 clinicians worldwide to document care directly in an electronic health record (EHR).
Dragon Medical Practice Edition, the latest member of the Dragon Medical family, is designed and priced especially for practices with less than 25 physicians, to help clinicians accelerate adoption of their chosen EHR. Using Dragon Medical Practice Edition ensures clinicians document care more completely and “in their own words.” Clinicians using Dragon Medical solutions have experienced substantially greater satisfaction than clinicians who use the EHR without Dragon Medical.
Available only for practices of 24 physicians or less, Dragon Medical Practice Edition is 99% accurate “out of the box” and includes a complete range of medical vocabularies. It allows clinicians to dictate in their own words, generating “once and done” documentation which they can then review.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition lets clinicians navigate any Windows®-based EHR system using voice commands—three times faster than most people can type or click with a mouse.
Nuance realizes that the needs and budgets of smaller practices are significantly different from those of large health systems or hospitals. Dragon Medical offers a family of products with prices and features designed to meet the needs of these different types of provider organizations. The chart below will help provider organizations determine which product is right for them.
