Dragon Medical is Compatible with Most EMR Systems Today

Customers call just about every day to see if Dragon Medical will work with the EMR purchase they are considering.  That's pretty amazing.  

Our experience has shown that medical providers want to ensure Dragon Medical will work before buying an EMR.   This information is crucial, because doctors that have tried the latest Dragon Medical or spoken to other practices that have, know one thing to be true.

Speech-to-text; is the fastest way to capture the narrative sections within EMR systems.

Voice Automated has been working with Dragon Medical since the day it was first released.  Our sales staff, trainers and integrators, know how to best utilize Dragon Medical with your EMR.

Could the Groundhog have predicted the Success of Dragon Medical?

Happy Groundhogs Day!  Tuesday, February 2nd.

For those of you that don’t know, Groundhogs day is when the men of the Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club in Punxsutawney, PA, pull Phil, "The Groundhog" out of his stump to predict whether there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

See more here about the Groundhog - www.groundhog.org

I wonder if this amazing prognosticating groundhog could have predicted the success of Dragon Medical as the most widely used medical speech recognition product ever?

While we'll never know Punxsutawney Phil's take on the matter, we certainly know that 1000's of doctors and medical providers have saved time and money by using Dragon Medical.

Voice Automated, works with physicians to integrate Dragon Medical to their EMR systems or create medical transcription reduction and elimination systems using Dragon Medical, digital recorders and other professional transcription software.

When it’s time for your speech recognition solution, we believe that the Groundhog will predict Dragon Medical and Voice Automated in your future.

Call us today, the best prices, the best service and the most experience with Dragon Medical. 800-597-6600.

Dragon Medical 11 has arrived.... or has it?

Nuance recently announced that Dragon Medical 11 was available.

Unfortunately for us in North America, the product is only available in the United Kingdom for now.

Nuance states that the new Dragon Medical 11 product is targeted to the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa)  markets only.

It should be noted that the feature sets and functionality of Dragon Medical in the EMEA are very different than here in North America.

This is because of different government requirements and different software products Dragon must integrate in the EMEA as compared with the United States.
  

Currently there is no launch date for the next version of Dragon Medical in North America, but come back to the dragonmedicalblog here at http://www.voiceautomated.com to find when  the  next version will be available and how to upgrade.

Nuance, as always, is working diligently with end user customers, selected VARs, EHR partners and others to fully understand the market requirements for the next version of Dragon Medical. 

Dragon Medical 10 is the best product available to solve the problem of dictating to EMR systems and eliminating/reducing transcription costs. 

Call Voice Automated today for your Dragon Medical Solution - 800-597-6600. Or visit our store and learn more about Dragon Medical here - http://store.voiceautomated.com/index.php/dragon-medical.html

Dragon Medical Drives Use of EMR's

EMR's or Electronic Medical Record systems are being adopted by physicians around the country.  These EMR systems were supposed to make things better.  The problem is most EMR vendors built systems to meet stringent CCHIT standards without much attention on the usability of the software.

When physicians do not adopt EMR systems their investment is lost.  Now by giving clinicians the power to dictate while reviewing the full medical record, they readily embrace their EMR system, dramatically accelerating EMR adoption.

The key Benefits of using Dragon Medical with an EMR are:

• Dictate anywhere in the EMR in clinician’s own words
• Accelerate clinician adoption of EMR systems
• Dictate faster and more accurately than ever before
• Spend more time with patients
• Eliminate transcription costs
• Support higher level of reimbursement and reduce denials
• Improve clinician satisfaction

Key Features

More Accurate Than Ever. 20% more accurate than Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical 9 – and over 38% more accurate than Dragon Professional 10 when used in clinical settings.

EMR Support. Navigate and dictate inside EMR software; History of Present Illness, Review of Systems, Assessment & Plan.

Medical Vocabularies. Covers nearly 80 medical specialties and subspecialties. Dictate using your specialty’s vocabulary.

Regional Accent Support. Accented speakers get higher “out-of-the-box” recognition with advanced adaptation techniques and accent-specific acoustic models.

Supports HIPAA Regulations. Protect patient confidentiality by securely storing speech files.

Hidden Mode. Dictate anywhere in the EMR, eliminating navigation between EMR screens and the notes window.

DragonTemplates with Voice Fields. Automate form filling applications by adding fields in dictation templates.

Medical Formatting Rules. Expands abbreviations and follows capitalization rules. “HPI” can appear as either “History of Present Illness”, “history of present illness”, or “HPI”.

PowerMic™ Ready. Program buttons to run any function or user voice command.

Voice Automated has implemented Dragon Medical with many EMR systems in the past 10 years. Let us help you with your EMR - Dragon Medical Solution.

Dragon Medical - iPhone and Smart Phone Apps Free Doctors to Dictate Anywhere

At Voice Automated, we had a focus group a few years back on creating the ultimate medical dictation and electronic record application.

After some time brain storming on the white board, we came up with a light weight device the floats around the doctor’s head and when they talk, the device instantly translates their speech into usable patient information. Oh yea and I forgot, it’s free!

Well we are not there yet but with the latest announcement about an advanced suite of Dragon Medical Mobile technologies and solutions from Nuance we are one step closer to our white board dream detailed above.

I had a chance to view this technology on a recent trip to Boston and it looks promising.

To get an idea of how the technology will work, be sure to try the General English version of Dragon Dictation (available for the iPhone) to dictate short emails or text messages. A few friends of mine, that know I sell Dragon Medical Solutions, asked me about that application at a restaurant. I downloaded the application onto a friend’s iPhone in a busy restaurant and dictated an email at 98% accuracy. I then handed the iPhone back to my friend and he dictated another email with the same result. Absolutely amazing!

More about the advanced suite of Dragon Medical Mobile technologies and solutions:

Nuance states, "Building upon the recent success of its Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search consumer apps for the iPhone, which are powered by world-renowned Dragon NaturallySpeaking software, Nuance will extend its mobile speech technologies to the healthcare industry.

By applying its award-winning speech recognition and capture capabilities to smartphones, Nuance can help physicians, nurses and other healthcare workers, such as therapists, efficiently access clinical information and document patient encounters using their mobile devices.

Availability of the Dragon Medical Mobile technologies and solutions is expected throughout this year, beginning in the spring of 2010.

Dragon Medical Mobile Dictation

Nuance recently demonstrated a healthcare version of its popular and first-of-its-kind Dragon Dictation app, which is based on Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition technology at this year’s HIMSS Show.

The app allows clinicians to dictate patient notes, emails and text messages instead of typing them on a mobile device. With Dragon Medical Mobile Dictation clinicians can dictate and capture information via a smartphone in real-time without having to return to the desktop, or rely on the keyboard or touch screen. And because Dragon Medical Mobile Dictation is a server-based app, all of the speech recognition is performed in the cloud using advanced real-time streaming capabilities.

Dragon Medical Mobile Search

Nuance recently demonstrated a healthcare version of its Dragon Search app, providing an intuitive voice-powered solution that gives clinicians a smarter way to search for medical information. Utilizing the same server-based speech recognition technology as the Dragon Medical Mobile Dictation app, the Search app will allow clinicians to simply speak a request to conduct fast and easy searches on various medical websites. A unique display carousel will show search results simultaneously from a variety of popular websites, such as MedScape, MedLine, Epocrates and Google. The app will also help identify correct coding information to ensure that clinical services are appropriately billed and accurately documented. Dragon Medical Mobile Search will be the first Dragon Medical Mobile App made available by April 30th.

Dragon Medical Mobile Recorder

Nuance recently demonstrated a voice-capture app that will allow clinicians to conduct on-the-go dictation on a smartphone. Once recorded, the clinicians’ voice file is forwarded through Nuance’s background speech recognition technology and onto transcription where a high-quality draft document is created and then sent back to the clinician for review and sign-off. The Dragon Medical Recorder app is designed for healthcare organizations that leverage either of Nuance’s enterprise-wide speech-enabled dictation and transcription solutions, eScription or the Dictaphone Enterprise Speech System.

Dragon Medical Mobile SDK

Nuance recently demonstrated its Dragon Medical Mobile SDK (software developer kit) that will be offered to third-party healthcare information technology companies and partners. This SDK will allow developers, including EHR vendors, to build solutions that can incorporate Nuance’s Dragon Medical Mobile capabilities.

Voice Automated is a Dragon Medical Partner and provides Dragon Medical, Professional Services, EMR integration consulting and medical transcription services.

Dragon Medical Feature Comparison

Many interested doctors and office managers ask which edition of Dragon Medical is right for them.

There are 3 versions of Dragon Medical:
1. Dragon Medical - Small Practice Edition
2. Dragon Medical
3. Dragon Medical Enterprise

Why 3 editions you may ask? Nuance understands that not all medical organizations have the same medical transcription needs.To download a complete comparison matrix of all versions click here. Or for an overview, please read below:

All Dragon Medical Editions are categorized by speech recognition accuracy, dictation features, dictation modes, transcription support, microphone support, commands and macros, operating system support, application support and admin and network support.

Possibly the best way to understand each edition is to know what is not in a particular edition.

Dragon Medical Enterprise: This edition has it all, nothing missing here.

Dragon Medical Edition: This edition does not have DragonConnect Compatability
DragonConnect™ Feature. This feature allows voice and text files to be sent to back-end transcription for final editing (optional). Physicians can have their voice-dictated files routed to a transcriptionist who can review the physician’s voice file and the Dragon-transcribed file and make corrections prior to returning it to the physician for review and signature.

Voice Automated's transcription service can be connected directly to DragonConnect for seemless transcription workflow solutions.

Dragon Medical Small Practice Edition: This edition of Dragon Medical does not have:

1. Radiology or Pathology Vocabularies: Generally only used in a hospital setting.

If you are in private practice and need one of these vocabularies - Dragon Medical Small Practice is not for you.

2. Hidden Mode: This feature allows users of EMR/Practice Management/RIS and other medical softwares to dictate while reviewing lab or radiology test results and save when finished anywhere in their medical software.
3. Correction only profile: This feature allows the creation of a correction only profile which can be used by a correctionist/transcriptionist to make corrections to text transcribed by Dragon Medical.

4. Dragon Connect Feature: Not provided in Dragon Medical Small Practice - see feature description above.

5. Dragon Templates with Voice Fields: This feature preloads a set of voice templates and macros with predefined normals. i.e. normal eyes, normal system exam, normal physical exam etc. - If you already have this information then don't worry and stay with Dragon Medical Small Practice Edition.

6. MyCommands Window: Show the user commands only in command browser window.
7. Encrypt macros for distribution: This features allows commands to be locked down to ensure all users are using the same commands.
8. Citrix metaframe presentation server 4.0 or 4.5

Application Support: - In general, Nuance left these out of the Small Practice Edition because they would most likely never be used in a private pratice setting.
9. Improved enterprise security features (encrypt macros for distribution)
10. Native MSI installer
11. IT administers guide
12. Network tools for centralized vocabulary management
13. Expanded roaming user -- (HTTP: roaming)
14. Section 508 compliant
