Additional Detail for Dragon Medical
Dragon Medical provides clinicians and information technology departments
the following benefits:
Dragon Medical Provides More Efficient Care
Dictate faster and more accurately than ever:
Dragon Medical 10 is up to 20% more accurate "out-of-the-box" than
Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical 9 —saving valuable minutes. Additionally,
Dragon Medical 10 has virtually instant response time, saving clinicians
valuable minutes in their day.
Dictate anywhere in your EMR:
Dragon Medical allows clinicians to dictate anywhere in an EMR system:
while reviewing Lab Tests, Patient History, or Current Medications.
Clinicians no longer have to click back and forth between information
they're reviewing and the dictation window, but dictate while reviewing
information and the Hidden Mode feature allows the doctor to paste
the dictation directly where he or she wants to place it.
Clinicians Up to 25 Percent More Efficient with EMRs:
Eliminating reliance on typing allows clinicians to spend more time
practicing medicine and up to 25 percent less time documenting care,
when compared to using a non voice-enabled EMR. With Dragon Medical's
new macro capability, clinicians can create customized voice shortcuts
for common phrases or larger blocks of text with embedded fields,
and via abbreviated voice commands such as "patient history," speed
up documentation and associated desktop, EMR or Web search and navigation
tasks.
Dragon Medical Provides More Effective Care
Clinicians receive the following advantages from Dragon Medical 10
over version 9 or non-Medical 10 products:
Spend more time with patients. Increased accuracy and fewer
errors to correct means clinicians can spend more time with patients,
improving patient satisfaction.
Dictate in your own words. Dragon Medical's superior free
text dictation capability supports more detailed History of Present
Illness, more flexible Review of Systems, and more descriptive Assessment
and Plan – the "medical decision-making" aspects of the note – which
give referring clinicians a more detailed patient assessment and
prognosis.
Secure patient information. Only Dragon Medical supports
HIPAA compliance guidelines to protect patient security and confidentiality.
Improve physician satisfaction. Physicians who use Dragon
Medical use their time more effectively, and by getting home in
time for dinner, physicians' overall quality of life is improved.
Dragon Medical Provides More Profitable Care
Support higher level of reimbursement. Dragon Medical lets
clinicians create more detailed notes than notes built only by "point
and click", templated-only EMR menus.
Reduce denials. Better documentation improves coding effectiveness
and provides richer detail per patient, which means fewer denials.
Reduce the cost of documentation. Eliminate transcription
by speech-enabling your EMR, freeing up resources to focus more
on patients and invest in methods to help practice efficiency. Medical
centers that use Dragon Medical today are eliminating transcription
costs and saving $500-1000 a month per physician.
Increase practice volume. Faster, more accurate response
reduces clinician time spent on dictation, allowing physicians can
see more patients and increase practice revenue and profitability.

Faster Than Ever. (Enhanced) Compared to Version
9, Dragon Medical 10 delivers significant improvement in response
time. Fast speakers will observe more than 50% reduction in the

pause in their dictation to watch the results, having words appear
on the screen sooner facilitates a more seamless dictation experience.

EMR application software.

gives the Auto-Transcribe Agent the option of creating a synchronized
audio (.DRA) file along with the transcript file, making it possible
to later get the benefit of Playback and Correction—just like users
dictating in word processors can save the .DRA file along with their
dictated document, which enables a third party to correct errors,
refining the speaker's profile.
Correction Only Profile. (New) Dragon Medical
10 lets "correctionists" open dictation files to make corrections
by keyboard, which contributes to the optimization of the speaker's
profile over time. (Not available in Dragon Medical Small Practice)
