Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2 is the most widely used and successful speech recognition solution in medical practices around the country. Dragon Medical software has been selected by more than 180,000 clinicians worldwide to document care directly and accurately into their electronic health record (EHR).
Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2 is designed and priced especially for practices with 24 physicians or less to help clinicians accelerate adoption of their chosen EHR. Using Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2 ensures clinicians document care more completely and “in their own words.” Clinicians using this progressive software have experienced substantially greater satisfaction than clinicians who use the EHR without Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2.
Available only for practices of 24 physicians or less, Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2 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 2 lets clinicians navigate any Windows®-based EHR system using voice commands—three times faster than most people can type or click with a mouse.
