Te Whatu Ora Whanganui runs a busy Emergency Department (ED) and a 110-bed hospital. Entirely focused on providing quality patient care, the ED trialed Nuance’s Dragon Medical One to save time creating medical notes.
According to Dr Eric Siedenburg, Senior Medical Adviser for Digital Services and Emergency Consultant at the hospital, some of the doctors in the ED were already familiar with Nuance’s Dragon Medical One as they had used Microsoft’s advanced speech-to-text software while working overseas.
The pace at which doctors create their medical notes can be further augmented by capabilities that are inherent to Dragon Medical One. Autotext lets doctors assign a block of text to a simple voice command. When the voice command is spoken the text instantly appears and can be left as is or edited. The software also allows doctors to create medical templates for various correspondence, reports and documents which are then easily populated using voice.
Te Whatu Ora Whanganui, with the help of Nuance reseller, Sound Business Systems, is now exploring rolling-out more Dragon Medical One solutions to empower additional senior doctors and registrars.
“When you are working in an ED that sees about 80 patients per day, that can add up to a considerable amount of time saved that can then be directed towards more and better patient care.”
