1. DMHT - Off Page - Upgrading The Technology Of Small Medical Practices

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The HITECH Act is not the most popular piece of legislation to come from the Obama
administration, simply because it's forcing many healthcare professionals to break with
the status quo and implement technology that, in reality, they should have implemented at
least a decade ago in many cases. Fortunately the Obama administration was wise enough
to financially incentivize the implementation of electronic health record systems (EHR)
for the tens of thousands of medical practices which will now have to use them. By
eliminating the financial barriers which most healthcare professionals might use to resist
the implementation of EHR the Obama administration has made it possible for
meaningful use of EHR to become part of daily medical practice by the year 2016.
So from the point of view of any medical practice owner EHR is simply something which
is going to happen, and the easiest way to simplify the introduction and use of an EHR
system is to use medical voice recognition software, with Dragon® Medical Practice
Edition 2 being a perfect example of a voice processing solution which is fully
compatible with the vast majority of EHR and EMR systems. Another fringe benefit of
using Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2 is that it can save the average medical practice
roughly $15,000 per year in transcription fees and/or freeing up your staff to work on
other more important practice-specific tasks.
If you're worried about any aspect of the implementation of an EHR, voice recognition
software or the meaningful use of these in conjunction with each other, we would be
happy to discuss how we can help you with this. The team at DragonMedicalHITECH.co,
a branch of HTH Engineering, are leaders in the field of working with digital dictation
systems and speech-to-text systems for the healthcare profession.
We look forward to working with you and assisting you in making full use of the funds
which become available to you as part of the HITECH reimbursement program.
