Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical Practice Edition Version 11
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).
The rush towards computerized patient records is on. For medical practices, federal stimulus funds are now available to cover the cost of buying and deploying EHRs…and then some. But when physicians start using their EHRs, they’ll discover the truth: EHRs slow physicians down.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition helps clinicians – including physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, therapists, and other care providers – efficiently navigate and dictate medical decision-making and treatment plans directly into a patient’s electronic record. Designed for small practices with 24 physicians or less, Dragon Medical Practice Edition helps practices:
- Improve documentation
