Nuance’s Dragon Medical One Accelerates Adoption among Clinicians for Clinical Documentation
August 24 2017 - 8:00AM
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN) today announced that in
the past year, more than 600 healthcare organizations – from large
multi-site integrated delivery networks to community hospitals and
ambulatory clinics – have chosen Nuance’s Dragon® Medical One. In
addition, more than 25,000 new users have gone live with Dragon
Medical One in the past 90 days alone – the highest-ever quarterly
increase in active users for Dragon Medical One.
Dragon Medical One is a secure, cloud-based speech recognition
solution hosted on the Microsoft Azure HITRUST CSF certified
platform. Dragon Medical One’s adoption is driven by technological
advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning
techniques that increase physician efficiency and return on
investment.
Prospect Medical Holdings and University of Kansas Medical
Center are among the 600 healthcare organizations experiencing
productivity gains with their EHR, mobility and physician
satisfaction that Dragon Medical One provides. Comments from
leaders at these facilities include:
- “University of Kansas Medical Center needed technology that
would make it easier for physicians to document within the Epic EHR
and improve documentation quality. After a head-to-head competitive
evaluation period, Nuance was the clear choice due to technical
responsiveness and the overall experience,” said Dr. Greg Ator,
chief medical information officer, University of Kansas Medical
Center. “Since implementing Nuance Dragon Medical One, not only
have we achieved these two documentation goals but we have also
seen improvements in physician speed, mobility and satisfaction
across the organization. In fact, we achieved our three-year
deployment goal in just three months, and 95% of KUMC physicians
surveyed believe Dragon Medical One makes it easier to document
within the EHR.”Click here to read the University of Kansas Medical
Center case study.
- “The future of medicine is a fusion of clinical practice and
technology, and Nuance offered a vendor agnostic platform that
allowed us to unify documentation on an enterprise level,” said Dr.
Manuel Sacapano, national chief medical informatics officer,
Prospect Medical Holdings. “The primary reason we chose Nuance over
competing vendors was quality. Considering reliability, accuracy,
functionality, convenience, mobility and strong healthcare IT
partnerships — each time the nod went directly to Nuance. Its speed
and ability to increase efficiencies greatly helped with physician
willingness to adopt Dragon Medical One and supporting solutions,
like PowerMic Mobile.”Click here to watch a video interview with

Increased User Confidence Leads to Greater
AdoptionA recent year-over-year comparison reveals that
Dragon Medical One users are spending 37% less time editing their
notes, while also capturing up to 20% more relevant content for a
more complete patient story1. These benefits are drivers behind the
wave of hospitals that are choosing Nuance Computer-Assisted
Physician Documentation (CAPD) solutions to further improve
documentation quality.
“Nuance has invested heavily in AI and machine learning
innovations and solutions that enhance the experiences of patients,
employees and providers, and improve clinical and financial
outcomes,” said Satish Maripuri, executive vice president and
general manager, Healthcare division, Nuance Communications. “Our
clients are sharing in this commitment to innovation through their
adoption of Dragon Medical One, which helps reduce their
documentation burden and does not get in the way of their time with
patients.”
Dragon Medical One requires no voice profile training, provides
automatic microphone calibration, intelligently detects accents,
and allows seamless switching between devices and microphones –
both physical and virtual – without degrading speech recognition
accuracy or system performance like other competing solutions.
These advancements are so well received that 98% of clinicians say
they would recommend Nuance cloud-based speech solutions to a
friend or peer based on a survey of physicians using Dragon Medical
One.
