Whether it is working a keyboard on a personal computer, handling a mobile device, or using a pen and paper, writing is a process that is time-consuming and somewhat antiquated. Recent advancements in speech recognition are now making it possible to almost discard your trusted keyboard or pen and paper. Nuance (News - Alert) Communications, a globally recognized provider of speech, imaging and customer interaction solutions for businesses and consumers around the world, has a line of speech recognition applications for different industries. The Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2 is designed for the healthcare industry by implementing terms specific to this field.

The Nuance technology is recognized for its high rate of accuracy, with a precision rating of more than 99 percent out of the box. The system is designed to progressively learn by adapting to the way the user speaks. It is an intuitive application that is three times as fast as typing. With Dragon Medical, physicians will be able to make notations while making examinations of patients, increasing their level of efficiency and level of productivity.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition helps practices improve documentation, eliminate transcription costs, increase physician satisfaction, enhance efficiency and increase practice profitability. The software provides more than 90 specialty and subspecialty medical vocabularies that include over 30,000 medical terms.
Physicians are under pressure from regulators to implement the new computerized patient record guidelines with EHRs designed to make payout much simpler than ever before, but most EHRs are not as efficient, slowing the way physicians conduct their business. Using reliable speech recognition software allows doctors to integrate the EHR system together for a more efficient system. The software can be used by everyone in the practice including nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, therapists, and other care providers.
"We offer a variety of services to support the integration of Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2. Our main goal is to improve the process of clinical documentation for physicians by automating their EHRs with the most innovative software available," said the Administrator of Operations, Ramon Alustiza.
