Focusing on quality of care
Dragon Medical solutions can increase the accuracy of medical records and help your team to deliver significant quality improvements in healthcare documentation. Despite an estimated 50%(pdf) or more of a doctor’s time spent on healthcare documentation, studies have found that 27% of medical records had missing information or insufficient detail. With advanced speech-to-text capabilities that can be integrated directly into EPR and other healthcare documentation, Dragon Medical solutions facilitate the capture of richer and more accurate patient narratives at the point of care.

A 2016 survey(pdf) revealed that 99% of doctors and practice managers believe that the creation of patient documentation and the document management challenges it creates are a burden to their healthcare team. 33% said better technology would improve their documentation workload. By allowing clinicians to simply speak directly into the medical record, many hours of documentation time can be saved.
Dragon Medical solutions features artificial intelligence (AI) and uses sound and language learning programs to recognise your voice, replacing traditional healthcare documentation recording, such as keyboard and mouse. This smart software has voice recognition capabilities specifically to your voice, adapting to you and your environment.

Where patient notes and letters are manually typed up from dictated audio or hand-written notes by secretarial staff, errors and delays can occur. Speech‑to‑text directly into the EPR and other healthcare documentation eliminates errors and delays caused by indecipherable hand‑writing or poor‑quality audio‑recordings.
