BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuance®
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is using the Nuance Dragon®
Medical One speech recognition cloud platform and PowerMic Mobile
microphone app to help physicians document patient care. This was
made possible after an Authority to Operate (ATO) was granted by
both the VA and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management
Program (FedRAMP) Program Management Office. Nuance Dragon Medical
One is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as Authorized and is
ready for procurement, authorization, and deployment at additional
Federal agencies interested in a Software as a Service (SaaS)
medical speech recognition solution that complies with FedRAMP
Moderate certification requirements.
FedRAMP promotes the adoption of cloud services across the
federal government by providing a standardized approach to security
and risk assessment for cloud technologies. Gaining approval
demonstrates Nuance's commitment to ensuring that its AI-powered
cloud-based solutions follow the latest guidance from the federal
government around data security and privacy. This authorization
also paves the way for Nuance to accelerate the adoption of its
cloud computing solutions by other federal agencies. Nuance
cloud-based technology allows VA physicians to use their voices to
capture and document patient stories securely, accurately, and more
efficiently due to improved workflow and quality.
"Helping frontline VA clinicians save time and provide the
highest quality of care for patients has been our clear focus,"
said Diana Nole, executive vice
president and general manager of healthcare, Nuance. "The
combination of our cloud-based platforms, secure application
framework and deep experience working with the VA health system
made it possible for us to demonstrate our compliance with FedRAMP
to meet the needs of the U.S. Government. We are proving that
meeting security requirements and delivering the outcomes and
workflows that matter to clinicians don't have to be mutually
exclusive. While our strong sense of mission and purpose in serving
critical healthcare organizations and businesses already is very
clear, it becomes amplified knowing that our technology solutions
are playing a role in caring for our nation's veterans."
Nuance Dragon Medical One is the leading medical speech
recognition solution today used by over 550,000 physicians.
Compatible with VA Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) and
Cerner Millennium, it is a key productivity component in Electronic
Health Record (EHR) solutions throughout the federal government,
including Veterans Affairs and the Military Health System. VA first
standardized on Nuance Dragon Medical solutions system-wide in
2014, and physicians have been anticipating this upgrade to the
medical speech cloud offering to enjoy the added capabilities and
mobile flexibility of Nuance Dragon Medical One in their
workflow.
The Federal cloud service offering is distributed by Carahsoft
Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®,
which leveraged its NASA SEWP V contract to quickly provide the
needed software and services once Nuance Dragon Medical One
received its FedRAMP authorization.
"We are proud to support both Nuance and the VA as they roll out
this impactful cloud-based approach to documenting patient care,"
said Elizabeth Savage, Sales Manager
for the Nuance Team at Carahsoft. "Carahsoft's mission is to
empower Government agencies with the solutions to meet their goals
with the support of our reseller partners, and this collaboration
is a perfect example of how the right combination of software and
mission can lead to better outcomes for both the VA's employees and
our nation's veterans."
