Nuance Healthcare Solutions
for the VA


Spiraling patient loads, looming physician shortages, threats to data security, and increasing mandates to demonstrate documentation quality have put U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals and clinics in a serious bind.

VA constituents from within and outside the system — patients, clinicians and administrators — all want accurate information instantly. Providing the high-quality care veterans deserve on a limited budget, while fulfilling regulatory, privacy, and national security requirements poses significant challenges for the VA.

Today, more than 7,500 providers in over 150 VA hospitals and clinics use Nuance Healthcare solutions, including Dragon Medical, PowerScribe, and Veriphy to tackle those challenges.
