Dragon® Medical Practice Edition

Dragon Medical Practice Edition lets clinicians use a narrative format to dictate the elements of a patient encounter where clinicians need to document care in their own words, including the History of Present Illness, Review of Systems, Physical Examination, and Assessment and Plan. Dragon Medical Practice Edition supports HIPAA patient confidentiality guidelines, a critical requirement for any practice concerned with patient confidentiality.

Clinicians also save additional time by using customized macros to enter frequently-dictated text with a single voice command. Additionally, the Dragon Medical Template Library—a library of more than two dozen macros for standard notes and an extensive list of “medical normals” by body system—facilitates rapid note creation. Overall, Dragon Medical solutions dramatically reduce the time clinicians spend documenting care—saving 30 minutes or more a day, according to a number of studies.

Dragon Medical Practice Edition makes clinicians more efficient

Dragon Medical Practice Edition lets clinicians dictate faster and more accurately than ever before. Dragon Medical Practice Edition is 15% more accurate before enrollment than Dragon Medical Version 10— meaning that clinicians will save time documenting care in MicroMD EMR. Dragon Medical Practice Edition offers virtually instant response time, saving clinicians valuable minutes in their day—no more waiting for transcribed reports or needing to type into MicroMD EMR.

With Dragon Medical Practice Edition, practices can deliver higher quality care

Clinicians receive a host of key advantages with Dragon Medical Practice Edition compared to Dragon Medical 10 or Dragon NaturallySpeaking non-medical solutions:

• Spend more time with patients. Increased accuracy means fewer errors to correct, which lets clinicians spend more time with patients, improving both quality of care and patient satisfaction.
• Medical information at their finger tips. Dragon Medical Practice Edition offers multiple voice shortcuts for searching medical information on the web. Clinicians can now search medical data via a single command on WebMD®, UpToDate®, PubMed®, and ICD -9. These commands can be said at any time without even having an Internet browser open. These commands combine multiple clicks into one fast command for the busy clinician. Simply say, “Search UpToDate for Wellbutrin contraindications,” and Dragon Medical Practice Edition and UpToDate take you there.
• Dictate in their own words. Dragon Medical’s free-text dictation capability supports more detailed History of Present Illness, more flexible Review of Symptoms, and more descriptive Assessment and Plan—the “medical decision-making” aspects of the note—which gives referring physicians and ancillary providers a clearer and more detailed patient assessment and prognosis.
• Secure patient information. Dragon Medical Practice Edition supports HIPAA compliance guidelines to protect patient security and confidentiality.
• Improve physician satisfaction. Physicians who use Dragon Medical solutions report that it significantly improves their enjoyment of practicing medicine. Dragon Medical helps them use their time more effectively and get home in time for dinner, thus improving physician quality of life.

Dragon Medical yields cost savings and profitability

Clinicians enjoy significant cost reductions and productivity boosts when they move from typing, handwriting, or transcription—or when they upgrade to Dragon Medical Practice Edition from previous medical versions or non-medical solutions:

• Reduce the cost of documentation. Eliminate transcription by speech-enabling MicroMD EMR, freeing up resources to focus more on patients to help increase practice efficiency. Healthcare organizations that are using Dragon Medical today are significantly lowering their transcription costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
• Support higher quality and more complete documentation. Using Dragon Medical results in higher levels of reimbursement than notes built by point-and-click EMR templates alone.
• Reduce denials. More complete, accurate documentation improves coding effectiveness and provides richer detail per patient, giving clinicians greater confidence to code at higher levels than with an EMR system alone.
• Increase practice volume. Faster, more accurate response reduces time spent on documentation, allowing clinicians to see more patients and increase practice revenue and profitability.

Dragon Medical: A leading solution for practicing clinicians

The Dragon Medical solutions family is the leading speech recognition solution in healthcare today. Dragon Medical technology has been chosen by more than 180,000 physicians worldwide to document clinical records and dictate correspondence, making it the most widely used speech recognition solution for physicians.

Even rarely used medical terms appear in Dragon Medical Practice Edition the first time clinicians say them. Clinicians don’t need to add or train words with Dragon Medical Practice Edition.

Whether the clinician’s country of origin is India, China, Pakistan, England, the U.S., or Australia, Dragon Medical solutions recognize his or her speech patterns because it has heard them before.
