Nuance Improves the Clinician Experience and Drives More Complete and Accurate Patient Records through a Natural Approach to DocumentationNuance Communications, Inc. today outlined its strategy to improve the clinician experience by focusing on the complete and accurate patient record - the heart of better quality patient care, compliance and financial outcomes. By delivering the technologies and services that allow physicians and care teams - and even patients - to naturally and efficiently create and share timely information, Nuance (News - Alert) is helping eliminate insufficient clinical narratives that take time away from caring for patients. More than 300 million patient stories each year are communicated by clinicians using Nuance clinical documentation solutions. As our healthcare system shifts to increased transparency of patient records and mandates more data collection and reporting, much of that burden is falling on clinicians. The more time spent interacting with documentation and trying to fill gaps in a patient's story means less time spent interacting with patients, with widespread ramifications:
Nuance Clinical Documentation Solutions Save Time and Improve
Documentation Accuracy "Nuance gives a half million physicians a more natural and efficient way to communicate a patient's clinical story within their workflow using speech recognition and transcription services, medical image sharing via the cloud and even intelligent assistants," said Satish Maripuri, executive vice president and general manager of the Healthcare Division, Nuance. "From our innovative Dragon Medical One unified and secure cloud-based platform to the new Nuance Velocity mobile ambulatory documentation tool, we are focusing on freeing physicians to have more time to deliver higher-quality patient care."
