Dragon Medical for VA Hospitals

Spiraling costs, insurance regulations, government mandates and higher patient expectations: Today’s VA hospitals and clinics are in a serious bind. Constituents from within and outside the system—patients, clinicians, administrators—demand accurate information instantly to ensure the highest quality care, while fulfilling ever-expanding regulatory, privacy and national security requirements. Dragon Medical, a speech recognition solution from Nuance Healthcare, is being used by more than 5,000 providers in over 65 VA medical facilities to dictate progress notes, prescribe medication and access test results directly in CPRS.
