Last year healthcare organizations spent over $16 billion dollars creating electronic medical records. The traditional dictation/transcription model that most organizations use is slow and costly. Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions from Nuance is the world’s leading provider of integrated dictation and transcription technologies that help simplify the production and management of this electronic patient information. Proven speech recognition technology helps hospitals reduce documentation costs across the healthcare enterprise and within individual departments, while improving patient care through faster access to electronic patient information. Hospital transcription teams can use speech recognition to streamline the transcription workflow with productivity gains of 50% and more, while eliminating costly reliance on administrative outsourcing. Dictaphone Physician-friendly documentation tools give caregivers control of their own reporting, saving time and money, while typically delivering a technology payback in one year or less.
