Whats Clinicians Say

Temple University Health System

297% adoption increase

Once you connect with someone and clearly show them the real-time benefits of Dragon Medical, they're sold instantly. What my colleagues needed was the support to use the solution effectively.

Dr. Ahmed Foda
Cardiologist and CMIO

Cardiovascular Institute of New England

Faster notes, more patient time

It quickly became clear how much Dragon Medical One helped our clinicians with documentation. It fits easily in their workflows, helps them create notes much faster, and frees up time to spend with patients.

Dr. Mazza

Universal Health Services

60–90% voluntary adoption

Our goal was to transition at least 30% of patient stories to Nuance's cloud-based technology in conjunction with our EHR. Within just a few weeks, we were pleasantly surprised to see voluntary adoption rates of 60% to 90% across our hospitals. You don't reach numbers like that unless you have a good tool.
