The data is then delivered with 99% accuracy into the system onto documents, transforming the voice remarks into written words. This technology has improved the record keeping abilities of the health industry tremendously.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition is formatted for doctor offices containing 24 physicians or fewer. The software"s vocabulary brain consists of nearly 60 medical specialties and subspecialties. It gives medical professionals the ability to use a hands-free method to record medical data for later review. All of the following data can be dictated and stored away:

Practitioners and caregivers also save valuable time by utilizing the Dragon system's customized macros and the Dragon Medical Template Library. Text that normally has to be dictated can be accessed with a single voice command. The library consists of more than two dozen macros that include standard notes and a huge listing of medical norms by body type which dramatically speed up note creation. The bottom line is that the Dragon software reduces the time spent by medical staff recording data up to 30 minutes or more a day, according to most studies.
