Canadian-Based Northern Health Adopts Nuance AI-powered Dragon Medical One to Revolutionize Care Delivery Across British Colu...
June 05 2019 - 8:00AM
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), an industry-leading
provider of AI-powered solutions, today announced Canadian-based
Northern Health has revolutionized its approach to care delivery
with Nuance’s cloud-based Dragon Medical One (DMO) and PowerMic
Mobile (PMM).
Northern Health’s leadership team selected Nuance’s innovative
technology solutions to support its 1,000 physicians who provide
care to more than 300,000 patients annually in northern British
Columbia. It was clear the Nuance technology streamlined the
documentation process, improved the quality, and provided immediate
real-time access to patient documentation.
DMO and PMM serve as an enterprise-wide, front-end speech
recognition solution for Northern Health, providing quick and easy
documentation within the electronic health record (EHR) to
standardize clinical documentation and spur adoption rates across
its organization.
“We needed a solution that would help us de-silo the Canadian
healthcare system, provide our workforce with an efficient way to
accurately capture a patient’s complete story at the point-of-care,
and provide an integrated approach across the care continuum—this
is where Dragon Medical One was magic,” said Lisa Gregoire,
Director of Health Information Management at Northern Health.
“Successful implementation across our organization has increased
physician confidence to adopt new technologies like speech
recognition and has increased our physicians’ ability to
effectively direct patient care.”
The Dragon Medical One cloud-based platform offers flexibility
and portability, enabling physicians at Northern Health to access
patient notes regardless of where they might be working on any
given day. Nuance brings the power of speech directly
to EHRs to drive Northern Health’s mission to redesign how primary
and community care is delivered.
“Because speech recognition is integrated directly into the
electronic health record, it’s easier for physicians to provide
richer documentation in a timely way,” said William Clifford, MD,
Chief Medical Information Officer at Northern Health. “There’s
no question, better, faster documentation supports better, safer
care.”
“Our solutions redesign the way physicians interact with
technology across the world,” said Michael Clark, General Manager
of Provider Solutions at Nuance. “We recognize Northern Health as a
leader in the industry, paving the road for other organizations in
Canada to adopt interoperable innovations to improve the daily
routines of physicians and care teams while enhancing the
continuity of patient care.”
