Q.  I tried Dragon before, and it did not work! How is Medical Dictate or Dragon Medical different?

Answer

A.  All of our Team of salespersons, technical support and training personnel, and administrative staff are users of speech-recognition software, specifically Dragon Medical.  Therefore, we possess the training, knowledge, and expertise to address any issues or questions regarding the software.

Also, we have been serving the healthcare profession for over 15 years and know the unique needs and services of most healthcare professionals.

Our philosophy is simple: We build relationships with our clients and not simply sell software.  So, we offer 24/7 technical training and support, including nights, weekends, and holidays, if necessary.  Service is the key component of our relationship building philosophy.

Additionally, with the advancement of computer technology, both computers and the voice-recognition software, especially Nuance's "Dragon Medical," have dramatically improved in the past several years providing much greater accuracy and speed to the end-user.  Thus, the end-user realizes an immediate benefit and increased efficiency.

Q.  Will the software recognize my accent/dialect?

Answer

A.  Yes, the software is equipped with built-in accent support to recognize a wide variety of foreign accents/dialects including, but not limited to, Spanish, Asian, Indian, British, Australian, and Southern U.S.

The software learns the way you speak and adapts to your speaking patterns.

By using our healthcare training module, the end-user will be approximately 98% accurate.

Q. What is the cost of the newest version of Dragon Medical Practice Edition 4?

Answer

A.  Simply, a one-time investment without any monthly or yearly licensing renewal or subscription.

The end-user will realize a return on investment within approximately 30 days.

Each Package is customized and designed for the physician's practice, and cost is dependent on the number of licensed users; however, we customize all Medical Dictate Packages for your budgetary considerations and offer third-party financing or payment plan, if necessary.

ALL Medical Dictate Packages include unlimited remote training and support for 12 months, live & weekly one-on-one training sessions via Web, and advanced training videos with a lifetime warranty on headsets.  If you prefer hourly on-site training for you or your entire practice, we will accommodate your busy practice schedule to reduce loss of patient time and will provide training and optimization on weekends and/or holidays if necessary.

Q.  Does the software work with my current EMR/EHR system?

Answer

A.  Dragon Medical works with any EMR/EHR system, including web-based or cloud-based versions, allowing the physician to dictate directly into the system rather than typing.  And, depending on your clinical workflow, you may be a better candidate for the new Dragon Medical One - the cloud-based version of Dragon Medical,
