Introducing…Dragon Medical Practice Edition! The latest
member of the Dragon Medical family, it’s designed and
priced especially for smaller practices, to help clinicians
accelerate adoption of their chosen EHR. Using Dragon
Medical Practice Edition ensures clinicians document care
more completely and “in their own words”. Clinicians using
Dragon Medical solutions have experienced substantially
greater satisfaction than clinicians who use the EHR without
Dragon Medical.

Available only for practices of 24 physicians or less, Dragon
Medical Practice Edition is 99% accurate “out of the box”
and includes a complete range of medical vocabularies.
The software allows clinicians to dictate in their own words,
generating “once and done” documentation, which they can
then review.

Dragon Medical Practice Edition lets clinicians use a
narrative format to dictate the elements of a patient encounter
where clinicians need to document care in their own
words, including the History of Present Illness, Review of
Systems, Physical Examination, and Assessment and Plan.
Speech-enable the Practice’s EHR for Faster, More Efficient,
and Profitable Clinical Documentation
Dragon Medical Practice Edition

Dragon Medical Practice Edition supports HIPAA patient
confidentiality guidelines, a critical requirement for any practice
concerned with patient confidentiality.
Clinicians also save additional time by using customized macros
to enter frequently-dictated text with a single voice command.
Additionally, the Dragon Medical Template Library—a library
of more than two dozen macros for standard notes and an
extensive list of “medical normals” by body system—facilitates
rapid note creation. Overall, Dragon Medical solutions dramatically
reduce the time clinicians spend documenting care—30 minutes
or more a day, according to a number of studies.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition lets clinicians navigate many
Windows®-based EHR systems using voice commands—three
times faster than most people can type or click with a mouse.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition runs on a variety of hardware,
from netbooks to high-powered desktops. The software
automatically detects hardware resources and sets up the
recommended configuration. Its state-of-the-art technology
takes advantage of advances in hardware and runs in multiple
threads automatically when multi-core hardware is detected
to achieve better recognition performance.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition
Makes Clinicians More Efficient
Dragon Medical Practice Edition lets clinicians dictate faster
and more accurately than ever before. Dragon Medical Practice
Edition is 15% more accurate before enrollment than Dragon
Medical Version 10—meaning that clinicians will save time
documenting care in an EHR. Dragon Medical Practice Edition
offers virtually instant response time, saving clinicians valuable
minutes in their day—no more waiting for transcribed reports or
needing to type into their EHR.
Dictate anywhere in the EHR. Dragon Medical Practice Edition
allows clinicians to dictate anywhere in an EHR system, such
as while reviewing Lab Results, Patient History, or Current
Medications. Clinicians no longer have to click back and forth
between information they’re reviewing and the EHR’s dictation
window. They dictate while reviewing information in Hidden
Mode, which allows the clinician to place the dictation directly
where he or she wishes.
With Dragon Medical Practice Edition,
Practices Can Deliver Higher Quality Care
Clinicians receive a host of key advantages with Dragon Medical
Practice Edition compared to Dragon Medical 10 or Dragon
NaturallySpeaking non-medical solutions:
Spend more time with patients. Increased accuracy means
fewer errors to correct, which lets clinicians spend more time with
patients, improving both quality of care and patient satisfaction.
Dictate in their own words. Dragon Medical’s free-text
dictation capability supports more detailed History of
Present Illness, more flexible Review of Symptoms, and
more descriptive Assessment and Plan—the “medical
decision-making” aspects of the note—which gives referring
physicians and ancillary providers a clearer and more detailed
patient assessment and prognosis.
Medical information at their finger tips. Dragon Medical
Practice Edition offers multiple voice shortcuts for searching
medical information on the web. Clinicians can now search
medical data via a single command on WebMD®, UpToDate®,
PubMed®, and ICD-9. These commands can be said at any
time without even having an Internet browser open. These
commands combine multiple clicks into one fast command
for the busy clinician. Simply say, “Search UpToDate for

patient security and confidentiality.
Improve physician satisfaction. Physicians who use
Dragon Medical solutions report that it significantly improves
their enjoyment of practicing medicine. Dragon Medical helps
them use their time more effectively and get home in time for
dinner, thus improving physician quality of life.
Dragon Medical Yields Cost Savings
and Profitability
Clinicians enjoy significant cost reductions and productivity boosts
when they move from typing, handwriting, or transcription—or
when they upgrade to Dragon Medical Practice Edition from
previous medical versions or non-medical solutions:
Reduce the cost of documentation. Eliminate transcription
by speech-enabling the EHR system, freeing up resources to
focus more on patients to help increase practice efficiency.
Healthcare organizations that are using Dragon Medical today
are significantly lowering their transcription costs by hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually.
Support higher quality and more complete documentation.
Using Dragon Medical results in higher levels of reimbursement
than notes built by point-and-click EHR templates alone.
Reduce denials. More complete, accurate documentation
improves coding effectiveness and provides richer detail per
patient, giving clinicians greater confidence to code at higher
levels than with an EHR system alone.
Increase practice volume. Faster, more accurate response
reduces time spent on documentation, allowing clinicians to see
more patients and increase practice revenue and profitability.
