BENEFITS

Dragon Medical 10 provides clinicians and information technology departments the following benefits:

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 10 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 10’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.


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 10’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 10 supports HIPAA compliance guidelines to protect patient security and confidentiality.


  • Improve physician satisfaction. Physicians who use Dragon Medical 10 use their time more effectively, and by getting home in time for dinner, physicians’ overall quality of life is improved.


More Profitable Care

  • Support higher level of reimbursement. Dragon Medical 10 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.
