Whats Clinicians Say

Magnolia Regional Health Center

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.

94% usage rate

I actually do most of my dictation while the patient is present in the exam room with me. There's a kind of 'wow factor' as they see the words populate the screen. But more importantly, patients are listening to exactly what's going into their charts. If I say, 'left foot' instead of 'right foot,' they correct me right away, and can add more clarity and details as appropriate.

No throughput impact drives adoption

My partners see that my patient volume is not affected by my use of Dragon Medical One, so they're incentivized to begin using it themselves.

Real-time charting

I am a nurse practitioner, and when I entered my role, I found charting very overwhelming. When I came to Dr. Dey's office, I was introduced to Dragon Medical One, which has been a complete lifesaver. It allows me to chart in real time, so there's no more taking charts home at the end of the day.
