Electronic Health Records Manufacturers Find New Opportunities with Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

Speech Recognition in the Healthcare Industry
Numerous studies have been conducted on the benefits of using speech recognition software in the healthcare industry. Today thousands of physicians use speech recognition software to create patient charts, referral correspondence, and e-mail within their existing applications such as Microsoft Word. Many physicians are now moving toward using a speech-enabled Electronic Medical Records (EMR) or Electronic Hospital Records (EHR) system. The integration of speech recognition and EMR/EHR applications can be very beneficial to the healthcare provider by enhancing the way healthcare is delivered through lower operating costs, providing a competitive advantage, and improving patient care, all within a management system that is HIPAA compliant.
