Michigan Cornea Consultants is a sub-specialist practice focused on treating corneal and external diseases involving the external eye, cornea, iris and lens. Most patients are referred by an ophthalmologist or optometrist, though on occasion patients may be seen at the request of internists, dermatologists or rheumatologists. Three full-time physicians serve patients at offices in Southfield, Warren, and Dearborn, Michigan.

The practice has deployed real-time speech recognition
to improve clinical workflow. Cost savings and
dramatically higher levels of service to patients and
responsiveness to referring physicians are among
the benefits Michigan Cornea Consultants have seen.
Recently, all three physicians in the practice upgraded to
Dragon® Medical Practice Edition.
Prior to implementing Dragon Medical, Michigan Cornea
Consultants used hand-held recorders and a transcription
service to complete letters to referring physicians.
This method of producing letters cost the practice more
than $35,000 each year in labor expense. The turnaround
time was also unacceptably slow. Physicians had to wait
one to two days to receive their notes back from the
transcription service before they could review and sign
off on them. Steven P. Dunn, MD recalled, “We needed
quicker turnaround time.”
