Whats Clinicians Say

ProActive Pain and Neurology

$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.

Faster notes with AutoTexts

Creating AutoTexts is very straightforward. For example, I've set it up for common injections, so instead of dictating a paragraph, I can say three keywords and it pops up. All I have to do is put in the laterality, and the specific toe if it's for a digital procedure.

Immediate gains during MEDITECH adoption

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.

Easy transition for a small team

I went into this so nervous and none of my fears came to fruition. Transitioning to new technologies can be so intimidating especially for a small team, but this added nothing to our burdens—quite the opposite. It worked out better than I could have imagined.
