Real Dragon Medical One Testimonials

Charleston GI

Shorter turnaround, lower documentation spend

“

We realized real-time speech recognition could deliver speed and accuracy to our providers, while we shortened documentation turnaround and reduced our documentation spend.

Tommy Punteney

Chief Operating Officer

Hancock Health

End-of-day zero backlog

“

Completing the majority of my documentation while in the room with the patient means all my notes are finished at the end of the day and ready for review. This workflow is a win for everyone. I get my work done in the office at the point of care—making patient records more complete and accurate and preserving my personal family time.

Leon Medical Centers

Proven Epic integration

“

It was extremely important that the solution worked with our Epic EHR. We felt like we could replicate our radiology colleagues' success and build a strong partnership with Nuance—and Dragon Medical One was proven in the industry.

Up to 2 hours/day saved

“

At the end of the day, I would spend up to two hours finishing my notes and getting them into billing so the bills could go out. If I had to run out or go to the OR, things would start to pile up, so I would sometimes be two or three days behind.

$30,000 annual savings

“

We chose Dragon Medical One for its ongoing improvements in speed, accuracy, and accent detection. It worked right away; there's no need to complete any training texts as you do for other solutions. I have a slight German accent, and I have colleagues with much stronger accents, and Dragon Medical One works perfectly. It has amazing speech recognition capabilities.

167% increase in documentation

“

Not only do I use Dragon Medical One to document patient visits, I use it daily with other applications—creating presentation slides, emails, word documents, and spreadsheets. The accuracy and speed of the speech recognition helps me work more efficiently.
