Everything spoken into the program is automatically encrypted and remains that way throughout the dictation process and resulting transfer into the EHR. As such, the software responded accurately to spoken medical terms such as “acetylsalicylic acid,” “pulmonary edema,” “cardiomyopathy,” and many other words not commonly used in everyday speech (and ones that are not part of other Dragon programs).ĭue to strict privacy laws, including HIPAA, that protect patient data and assign stiff penalties for breaches, Dragon has ensured that data collected by the software is secure. The version tested here is optimized for healthcare and boasts 90 specific medical vocabulary sets. Like with other versions of the dictation software, it allows users to speak instead of typing out notes, forms and other reports. The Dragon Medical Practice Edition, part of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition software, can help users streamline workflows within an EHR. Initially seen as a way to digitize patient charts and records, EHRs have also vastly increased the amount of information collected - a challenge and an opportunity for busy clinicians. One of the most profound changes in the healthcare field is the introduction of electronic health record systems.
