Transform the way your pathology department works with Dragon Medical
Today's pathologists need to rise to the challenges of a worldwide shortage of pathology specialists and growing demand for their services. Applying innovative technology solutions, including speech recognition embedded into your pathology workflow, will improve the quality of reporting, increase throughput and help you regain work‑life balance.
Efficiency and quality without compromise
Reasons why busy pathologists love Dragon Medical
Nuance speech recognition program embedded into your pathology workflow helps improve the quality of reporting, increase throughput and support you in regaining your work-life balance.
Accuracy
"Nuance Dragon Medical speech recognition software just doesn’t make mistakes. Once you've said a regular phrase a couple of times the software will never get it wrong". A dictionary of medical words, terms and body system normals from over 60 specialties and sub specialties ensures complex medical terms are always accurately and completely captured.
Simplicity
A single voice command cuts out the need to use the keyboard and the multiple clicks and keystrokes required to move between screens, the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and the pathology system. Standard and customised voice commands are built into the speech recognition solution.
Speed
"Speech Recognition is so good it is faster even than canned reports. I dictate whilst I am viewing a specimen. I’ve found that for me this method is even faster than calling up a standard template. Once you’ve set up your individual voice profile the speech recognition software will learn the way you speak and adapt to your accent and dictation style."
Quality
The combined effect of faster, easier capture of the notes combined with greater accuracy enables the pathologist to focus on reporting the sample or specimen rather than the paperwork. Removing the dictation process ensures minimised report turnaround.
Features
Accurate and concurrent documentation starts here
Speak freely
Dictate, edit, and voice‑navigate your desktop and update the patient record, navigate the web or write emails—all just speaking freely! No complicated software to use—capture the patient story directly in the EPR with your own words. Speak like you would to another clinician confident in a high level of speech-recognition accuracy.
Ease of use
Moving from paper to digital involves changing habits and adapting workflows. Nuance's solutions are easy to use, and come with intuitive 'smart configuration' features. Clinicians can capture voice narratives from within existing software applications, with support for multiple applications, email clients and input devices—at your workstation or on the move.

Dragon Medical comes with a wealth of productivity features and personalised commands. Create macros activated by a single voice command to speed you through and between your pathology and other systems to take out the grind and irritation and speed you through your work—or even better, engage your local Nuance certified reseller to work on the best workflow for you!
High quality reporting
The combined effect of faster, easier capture of the data, a focus on fully reporting the sample or specimen rather than the administration of it ensures more complete, accurate and contemporaneous notes.
