In their own words: What customers are saying

"From the start, without any voice profile training, the clinicians felt the accuracy of speech recognition was very high, well into the high 90% range. They were amazed, in fact. We have one provider who speaks very quickly and another who mumbles, and the accuracy is still very high for each of them."

"The future of healthcare is value-based. The capabilities we are leveraging with PowerScribe 360 certainly are enhancing this transition."

"We saw our physicians increase their documentation efficiency with speech recognition. It made sense to offer our nurses the solution as well, with the idea it would empower them to tackle pressing documentation responsibilities."

“ We expect major system transitions to be cumbersome and complicated. It’s usually a short-term pain, long-term gain scenario in a quest to increase productivity and reduce costs. However, including Dragon Medical shifted the equation and allowed us to realize immediate gains while setting us up for further enhancements. It was the highlight of the MEDITECH EHR adoption project—a win for both the organization and our physicians. ”

“Dragon has literally made me a better father. The amount of free time I now have on the weekends to spend time with my children is priceless. Before Dragon, I would spend anywhere from three to six hours on a Sunday, reviewing, editing, and signing numerous charts that took away family time. Dragon changed that for me, and I am grateful.”
