Allina Health

Reduce burnout with voice navigation

“

We wanted to address provider burnout—a major influence on providers. We also wanted to create an EHR experience where providers could complete their documentation faster than typing and use voice commands to simplify navigating the EHR.

Chris DuFresne

Director of Information Systems and Transcription Services

Tanner Health System

Seamless go-live, consistent profiles

“

The fact that we could keep our user profiles and give the doctors a consistent experience they've been used to has made our lives much easier at the go-live, and the providers absolutely loved it.

Dr. Bonnie Boles

Chief Medical Information Officer

Forsyth Foot & Ankle Associates

3-4 hours saved weekly

“

Dragon Medical One has stopped me from having to complete notes in the evenings and on weekends—it's definitely improved my quality of life.

Dr. Michael C. McGlamry

D.P.M., FACFAS

Why Switch from Transcription to Dragon Medical One?

Predictable Fixed Costs

$79/month per provider vs variable per-minute transcription costs that can fluctuate wildly.

Instant Turnaround

Complete documentation in real-time vs waiting 24-48 hours for transcription delivery.

Superior Accuracy

99%+ accuracy with medical vocabulary vs human transcriptionist errors and inconsistencies.

Complete Control

No dependency on third-party transcription services. You control your documentation workflow.

Enhanced Security

HITRUST certified cloud security vs sending PHI to external transcription vendors.

Better Work-Life Balance

Finish documentation during visits. Eliminate "pajama time" spent catching up on charts.

More Success Stories

Charleston GI

Improved satisfaction with lower spend

“

With real-time speech recognition, we’re still able to provide exceptional, patient-focused care and create documentation that thoroughly depicts the patient condition, but our documentation spend and provider satisfaction have vastly improved.

Tommy Punteney

Chief Operating Officer

Coeur d'Alene Pediatrics

48-hour turnaround reduction

“

I'm definitely more satisfied using Dragon Medical One. I find I'm creating more detailed records since I can easily add little bits of information into the templates. It saves time.

Dr. Mary Jo Shaw

Pediatrician

Allina Health

Demonstrated efficiency wins

“

We want our providers to be able to detail their thoughts and words in the EHR in the most expedient way. If we can demonstrate the efficiency of speech recognition, we all win.

Mary Lambert

Information Services Director
