71% Note Cloud-Based Clinical Voice Recognition Improves
Quality of Care, 50% Indicate It Saves More than 30 Minutes a
Day
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that
Nebraska Medicine, after a head-to-head competitive process, chose
and implemented Nuance Dragon® Medical One as the cloud-based
clinical speech recognition platform for its initiative to get
physicians more engaged and satisfied with documentation processes
in the electronic health record (EHR) system. Combining Epic’s
tools for structured information with Nuance technology allows
Nebraska Medicine’s physicians to use their voice to tell the
patient’s complete patient story. Physicians take advantage of a
single, consistent workflow rapidly completing high-quality
documentation wherever they are working — the hospital, the clinic
or somewhere in between.
After using Dragon Medical One, an organization-wide study of
approximately 350 physicians confirmed:
- 94% of Nebraska Medicine’s physicians
indicated that Nuance voice recognition helps them do their job
better when practicing medicine;
- 71% stated that the quality of their
documentation has improved significantly; and,
- 50% reported that Nuance helped them
save more than 30 minutes a day.
“We not only wanted to positively impact usability and physician
satisfaction, but we also wanted to give them the tools to provide
even higher levels of patient care,” said Brian Lancaster,
executive director of information management, Nebraska Medicine.
“The Nuance solutions represent a natural evolution of what we want
our documentation to become, moving away from simply recording what
happened with a patient to helping guide physicians on what should
happen next in terms of delivering patient care. The best time to
inform these thought processes is right at the time of
documentation, and these Nuance solutions help us achieve this
goal.”
The Nebraska Medicine Implementation
Nebraska Medicine focused on its clinical documentation strategy
and, as part of the commitment to quality patient care, chose
Nuance Dragon Medical One to be deployed across the academic
medical system. Dragon Medical One provides secure, accurate and
portable voice recognition that seamlessly integrates with Nebraska
Medicine’s Epic® EHR and efficiently supports a large number of
users on both Windows and Mac platforms through a virtualized
deployment.
As part of the rollout, Nebraska Medicine also deployed Nuance
PowerMic Mobile to allow physicians to dictate into Dragon Medical
using their standard smartphone – making it easier for them to
document on the go and into any type of desktop, thin client or
virtualized environment. This software-based microphone has been
very popular with Nebraska Medicine’s physicians because of the
convenience and built-in security.
Nebraska Medicine is also deploying Dragon Medical Advisor,
which analyzes physician notes in real time as they document,
automatically providing advice to improve compliance, quality and
completeness of clinical notes. Together, these solutions help
Nebraska Medicine clinicians deliver higher quality notes faster
and more effectively.
As a critical part of the successful deployment of the Dragon
Medical One cloud platform at Nebraska Medicine, Nuance used Dragon
Medical Analytics to enable the IT teams be more systematic in
gaining rapid physician adoption and driving improved documentation
performance. By providing real-time insights into individual
performance metrics, Nebraska Medicine has been able to proactively
support its physicians, building confidence with IT as trusted
advisors and leading to joint success.
“We are confident that our cloud-based clinical speech
recognition and computer-assisted physician documentation (CAPD)
solutions will continue to help Nebraska Medicine and many other
clients achieve their objectives of improving documentation quality
and physician satisfaction together,” said Peter Mahoney, senior
vice president and general manager of Dragon, Nuance
Communications. “Nuance technology has already been proven to
increase provider satisfaction, productivity and financial
outcomes, and we are now looking forward to helping Nebraska
Medicine focus on improving the quality of care.”
Nuance provides a more natural and insightful approach to
clinical documentation, freeing clinicians to spend more time
caring for patients. Nuance healthcare solutions capture and
communicate more than 300 million patient stories each year helping
