ANNOUNCING DRAGON MEDICAL VERSION 10!
Nuance has announced the release of the latest version of Dragon Medical - version 10. One of the big changes is that Dragon Medical is now a separate product line from the other versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which allows for additional product development targeted directly at the Medical field.
What will Dragon Medical 10 do for you?
- Real-time Speech Recognition Makes EMRs Use Faster and Easier
Dragon Medical 10 is the only Dragon NaturallySpeaking edition that enables clinicians to dictate directly into an EMR system, and rapidly edit and sign medical reports, speeding data input, reducing clicking and typing and, in turn, accelerating EMR utilization. Dragon Medical is available for integration with any Windows®- or Citrix®-based EMR system, including, but not limited to, those from Allscripts™, Epic, Misys®, GE® Healthcare, NextGen®, Siemens, eClinicalWorks®, Meditech, McKesson®, Cerner and Eclipsys®.
- Real-time, Clinical Documentation Reduces Operating Costs
By using Dragon Medical’s highly-accurate, real-time speech recognition capabilities, clinicians are able to provide detailed clinical notes than typing or EMR point-and-click templates alone, without the costs or delays associated with manual transcription.
- More Detailed Documentation Drives Better Patient Care
According to physicians, the narrative is the most important part of a patient note. A medical record that combines point-and-click EMR templates with dictated physician narrative promotes ongoing higher quality care via complete and patient specific information that clearly articulates the unique story of every patient encounter. By using Dragon Medical, critical patient documentation is available immediately for other care providers to access electronically.
- Less Typing Makes Clinicians Up to 25 Percent More Efficient
Eliminating reliance on typing allows clinicians to spend more time practicing medicine and up to 25 percent less time documenting care, when compared to using a non voice-enabled EMR. With Dragon Medical 10’s new macro capability, clinicians can create customized voice shortcuts for common phrases or larger blocks of text that can include embedded fields. Abbreviated voice commands such as “patient history,” speeds up documentation and associated desktop, EMR or Web search and navigation tasks.
- More Complete Documentation Helps Increase and Speed Reimbursement
By dictating the narrative component of the patient visit versus just typing or relying on point-and-click EMR templates, Dragon Medical enables physicians to document the encounter in a more complete manner resulting in higher and more appropriate reimbursement. In addition, by completing clinical documentation in real-time, healthcare providers can improve their entire reimbursement cycle.
- Clinical Dictation Requires Robust and Highly-Tuned Medical Speech Recognition Vocabularies
Dragon Medical 10 supports more than 75 medical disciplines, from family medicine and internal medicine to orthopedics and cardiology with proprietary medical speech recognition vocabularies. With these specialized vocabularies, Dragon Medical has proven to be up to 38 percent more accurate than non-medical speech recognition software in clinical settings.
- Accent Recognition Knows What You’re Saying, No Matter Where You’re From
As 30 percent of U.S. physicians are born foreign, Dragon Medical 10 now calibrates to regional accents through an initial voice screening process. The software automatically adapts to a variety of U.S., Southeast Asian, Indian and Hispanic accents.
- Nearly Twice as Fast as Previous Versions
With Dragon Medical 10, clinicians will see their dictated text appear almost instantaneously, noticing a dramatic reduction in the time it takes for the software to recognize what is being dictated, significantly improving user experience.
- Rapid Deployment with No Custom IT Integration Required
As a result of Dragon Medical’s ability to enable direct dictation into EMRs and other clinical information systems, healthcare provider organizations can rapidly deploy the software without any customized IT integration or interface development efforts. With the proper provider training and associated deployment services, clinicians can be up and running within a matter of days.
- Supports HIPAA Regulations
Dragon Medical 10 supports patient confidentiality and helps healthcare provider organizations comply with HIPAA regulations.
Sure, I knew that, but ... what's new in 10?
As always, the technology requirements for new software have increased:
Version 10 requires:
- Pentium 4 (or equivalent) 1 GHz Processor (Zephyr-TEC recommends 2.4 GHZ or Dual Core)
- Windows 2000 (SP4+), Windows XP Pro/Home (32-bit only), Windows Vista (32-bit only)
- 1 GB RAM (Zephyr-TEC recommends 2 GB)
- 512 KB L2 Cache (Zephyr-TEC recommends 1 MB)
- 2 GB free disk space for installation

What People Are Saying:
"Dragon is a powerhouse program for individuals who need to communicate their thoughts to the computer quickly and effectively."
"I'm a pretty good typist, but using Dragon keeps both hands free to look through charts, texts, and other reference materials while continuing to dictate."
"Transcribed dictation is delayed and expensive. We solved our problem with Dragon."
"I can surf the Internet, send e-mails to friends and relatives, or shop online -- all by voice."

Deferred Correction TranscriptionAid®
Want to use speech recognition, but not deal with correcting any errors? A deferred correction workflow allows for someone else (secretary, transcriptionist, mother-in-law ...) to correct and proofread your documents AND have the corrections improve your future recognition. And Transcription Aid® is the best way forward!
Transcription Aid® allows the secretary (or transcriptionist) to easily correct the small number of mistakes (approximately 2% to 3%) by comparing the voice recording of the Author with the text automatically generated by the recognition, all speeded through with the use foot pedal.
Transcription Aid® will also allow to transcribe any voice recording generated with virtually any recording application or digital recording device out of the office (digital recorder, Pocket® PC, Palm® PDA, Sony Clié®, MP3 recorder). Most importantly, corrections introduced by the secretary in the transcription can be used to improve the author's voice profile for better accuracy in recognition.
