EHR 'MEANINGFUL USE' COMPLIANCE

The US Government’s Department of Health and Human Services has been encouraging all health care providers for years to comply with using new technology and techniques to build a better national and worldwide health database. The government’s term ‘meaningful use’ is used to show that a health care company is doing its best to make its EHR more productive. Speech recognition helps to speedily and digitally collect data, thereby keeping facility costs lower and patient care standards higher. The increase in efficiency of adding reports and data into an EHR in a health facility or doctor’s office is one of the reasons that speech recognition software is so heavily relied upon now.

Time delays, expense and HIPAA compliance have made transcription challenging, not to mention complications with outsourcing. Now, with the release of Dragon Medical Practice Edition (DMPE) real-time charting into the EHRs is not only entirely possible, but, increasing at an exponential rate. Although Dragon Medical 10 has been great, Dragon Medical Practice Edition (DMPE) has been completely rewritten from the ground up and boasts a 99% accuracy rate along with being 15% faster than 10. Speed is further increased by the intelligent use of templates – something transcriptionists generally can't do. Please keep in mind, however, having the correct and applicable installation as well as initial training and follow-up training makes all the difference in the world.

Speech Recognition Templates

Simply put, the more automation that one can put into their practice, more accurate and quicker workflow becomes. Of course, greater accuracy leads to greater patient care. Greater patient care leads to improved coding which leads to greater reimbursements. Interested? The use of variable templates in Dragon Medical Practice Edition (DMPE) allows this to happen. Please contact us for the link to our recorded demos. Of course, we take great pride in our custom solutions and customer care.

Dragon Medical & Point of Care

Nothing happens in healthcare until a physician treats a patient and the note is “properly recorded” in the chart. The “life-blood” of this process is the physicians’ “spoken words”. The importance of this ranges from quality of care for the patient and family to payment for services rendered to the provider and clinic, thus insuring the longevity of both the patient and the practice. Dragon Medical Practice Addition is 99% accurate, 15% faster than earlier versions and saves ongoing transcription costs in addition to meeting the requirements of meaningful use II.

Speech Recognition… The Way to Go, Now

Speech recognition is an integral part of the future (and the “now”). Historically, best practices call for the medical provider dictating his/her notes, which are then transcribed into the chart. As the cost of transcription has escalated, this service has been outsourced, the results of which have been obvious. Thus, for speed, accuracy and cost saving we have had phenomenal success implementing our speech recognition software. Not only does it pay for itself in one month but also it has proven to increase speed, accuracy and versatility of the “charting provider”. Of course, our familiarity with innumerable EMRs and our onsite training has won us many happy clients.
