Photality and Voice Recognition Transcription
The dictation read, "likely a manifestation of osteoporosis though the extreme "photality" also raises the possibility such as prior injury or radiation..."
The "word" in question was "focality."
Transcriptionists, do you always type what they dictate and what would voice recognition software do with this?

Nuance Communications, Inc. Introduces Dragon Medical 10
Healthcare Speech Recognition Software Enables Highly-Accurate, Real-Time Clinical Documentation with Numerous Medical-Specific Advanced Features
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), today unveiled its Dragon® Medical 10 software, the fastest, most accurate, real-time medical speech recognition software released to date. The new Dragon Medical 10 software recognizes dictation nearly twice as fast as its previous release and yields an accuracy improvement of more than 20 percent over the previous release. Dragon Medical 10 offers new medical vocabularies, improved integration with electronic medical record (EMR) systems, enhanced regional accent support, and customizable commands, like Voice Shortcuts and DragonTemplates.
Dragon Medical 10 is a part of the world’s best-selling speech recognition software family, Dragon NaturallySpeaking®, and is one of many offerings in Nuance’s healthcare portfolio of proven, speech-enabled clinical documentation and communication solutions.
Dragon Medical is used by more than 70,000 caregivers today in hospitals and physician practices across private, public and government settings. Dragon Medical 10 lets physicians create medical documents and emails, search the Web, control their PC and EMR entirely by voice, saving time and boosting productivity as compared to typing and mouse navigation alone. By enabling clinicians to rapidly and completely document patient encounters via their voice, Dragon Medical reduces transcription costs, improves clinician productivity, enhances patient care and increases insurer reimbursement.
More on Dragon Medical 10:
Real-time Speech Recognition Makes EMRs Use Faster and Easier – Dragon Medical 10 is the only Dragon NaturallySpeaking edition that enables clinicians to dictate directly into an EMR system, and rapidly edit and sign medical reports, speeding data input, reducing clicking and typing and, in turn, accelerating EMR utilization. Dragon Medical is available for integration with any Windows®- or Citrix®-based EMR system, including, but not limited to, those from Allscripts™, Epic, Misys®, GE® Healthcare, NextGen®, Siemens, eClinicalWorks®, Meditech, McKesson®, Cerner and Eclipsys®.
Real-time, Clinical Documentation Reduces Operating Costs – By using Dragon Medical’s highly-accurate, real-time speech recognition capabilities, clinicians are able to provide detailed clinical notes than typing or EMR point-and-click templates alone, without the costs or delays associated with manual transcription.
More Detailed Documentation Drives Better Patient Care – According to physicians, the narrative is the most important part of a patient note. A medical record that combines point-and-click EMR templates with dictated physician narrative promotes ongoing higher quality care via complete and patient specific information that clearly articulates the unique story of every patient encounter. By using Dragon Medical, critical patient documentation is available immediately for other care providers to access electronically.
Less Typing Makes Clinicians Up to 25 Percent More Efficient – Eliminating reliance on typing allows clinicians to spend more time practicing medicine and up to 25 percent less time documenting care, when compared to using a non voice-enabled EMR. With Dragon Medical 10’s new macro capability, clinicians can create customized voice shortcuts for common phrases or larger blocks of text that can include embedded fields. Abbreviated voice commands such as “patient history,” speeds up documentation and associated desktop, EMR or Web search and navigation tasks.
More Complete Documentation Helps Increase and Speed Reimbursement – By dictating the narrative component of the patient visit versus just typing or relying on point-and-click EMR templates, Dragon Medical enables physicians to document the encounter in a more complete manner resulting in higher and more appropriate reimbursement. In addition, by completing clinical documentation in real-time, healthcare providers can improve their entire reimbursement cycle.
Clinical Dictation Requires Robust and Highly-Tuned Medical Speech Recognition Vocabularies – Dragon Medical 10 supports more than 75 medical disciplines, from family medicine and internal medicine to orthopedics and cardiology with proprietary medical speech recognition vocabularies. With these specialized vocabularies, Dragon Medical has proven to be up to 38 percent more accurate than non-medical speech recognition software in clinical settings.
Accent Recognition Knows What You’re Saying, No Matter Where You’re From – As 30 percent of U.S. physicians are born foreign, Dragon Medical 10 now calibrates to regional accents through an initial voice screening process. The software automatically adapts to a variety of U.S., Southeast Asian, Indian and Hispanic accents.
Nearly Twice as Fast as Previous Versions – With Dragon Medical 10, clinicians will see their dictated text appear almost instantaneously, noticing a dramatic reduction in the time it takes for the software to recognize what is being dictated, significantly improving user experience.
Rapid Deployment with No Custom IT Integration Required – As a result of Dragon Medical’s ability to enable direct dictation into EMRs and other clinical information systems, healthcare provider organizations can rapidly deploy the software without any customized IT integration or interface development efforts. With the proper provider training and associated deployment services, clinicians can be up and running within a matter of days.
Supports HIPAA Regulations – Dragon Medical 10 supports patient confidentiality and helps healthcare provider organizations comply with HIPAA regulations.
Dragon Medical is one of many offerings in Nuance’s healthcare portfolio of proven, speech-enabled clinical documentation and communication solutions including the eScription on-demand platform for computer aided medical transcription, the Dictaphone Enterprise Express on-premise platform for integrated transcription workflow and speech recognition, and radiology solutions including PowerScribe®, RadWhere™, RadPort™, RadCube™, and Veriphy™ critical test results management. All of these solutions enable healthcare provider organizations to reduce operating costs, increase reimbursement, and enhance patient care and safety. No matter the specific requirements of a healthcare provider organization, Nuance has solutions to meet its needs. For more information on all of Nuance’s Healthcare solutions please visit: http://www.nuance.com/dictaphone/
Bob Wise, President, Nuance Healthcare Division – “With healthcare provider organizations under increasing pressure to reduce operating costs, enhance patient care and maximize reimbursement, speech-driven clinical documentation solutions such as Dragon Medical are a proven strategy to transform the medical record creation process, reducing costs, and reallocating physician time away from reporting and toward patient care. As these pressures will only increase across the healthcare industry, we expect the adoption rate of speech-enabled clinical documentation solutions to accelerate as they continue to show demonstrable value in providing more detailed clinical notes at lower costs, while simultaneously improving the clinician experience.”

Quotes from Industry Leaders
Wes Rishel, Healthcare Industry Analyst, Gartner – “EMRs cannot make a dent in improving healthcare without dramatically increased physician adoption. Physicians must not only adopt the products, but begin to use them as more than electronic file-drawers and billing systems. Voice input, well-recognized and well integrated with EMR software is critical to closing the gap to meaningful adoption.”
Dr. Loren Leidheiser, Chairman and Director of Emergency Medicine, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Emergency Department - “I’ve used Dragon Medical speech recognition for about eight years. We use Dragon Medical in our busy emergency department with the Allscripts electronic medical record. Dragon Medical speech recognition has greatly increased the value of our medical records by including detailed narratives that point-and-click templates simply can’t capture; accuracy is near perfect, even in a hectic emergency department environment. Based on my testing and use of Dragon Medical 10, the software seems more intuitive and the recognition has yet again improved from previous versions. Beyond the documentation efficiency gains for our providers, Dragon Medical lets our team tell our patient’s complete story and that raises our quality of care.”
Dr. Betty Rabinowitz, Primary Care Internist, University of Rochester Medical Clinic – “We were most interested in the ROI associated with implementing a speech-enabled technology. We were spending close to $1.2 million on transcription costs in our primary care network and with the implementation of Dragon Medical to complement our Allscripts EMR, our projected cost for transcription has been brought to zero.”
Dr. Jon W. Wahrenberger, Cardiology, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center – “For just over two months I’ve had early access to Dragon Medical 10, which I’ve found to be extremely fine-tuned for the needs of medical users and clinical workflow. It is faster, more accurate and integrates beautifully with our homegrown electronic health record system. I’m excited to share the latest version of Dragon Medical with my colleagues and showcase its ability to improve physician productivity by facilitating the creation of highly detailed and accurate medical records. When compared to the cost of transcription, I’d estimate that the institution [Dartmouth Hitchcock] has saved around $150,000 over the last five years by Dragon Medical working successfully for me alone. The cost of the software purchase can be recouped in a few weeks, not months.”
Glen Tullman, CEO, Allscripts – “With the option to speech enable their EHR system with Dragon Medical, our clients are empowered to create high-quality, real-time patient documentation without solely relying on templates. Speech is raising the bar in healthcare IT, and voice command is an essential component of our comprehensive electronic health record solution.”
