San Diego Heart & Vascular Associates Case StudyVoice Automated
Caring for patients since 1987, San Diego Heart & Vascular Associates implemented Dragon Medical Practice Edition with their Allscripts Enterprise EHR to improve documentation quality, reduce costs, and speed up turnaround time. By coupling speech recognition software with their EHR, physicians can create comprehensive patient notes in real-time instead of using transcription. This eliminated $20,000 in annual costs while improving communication with patients and other providers. Physicians reported that documentation quality and accuracy improved compared to using templates alone in the EHR.
Orthopedics Northwest implemented Dragon Medical Practice Edition speech recognition software along with their NextGen EHR to improve documentation workflows. This reduced annual transcription costs by $75,000 and increased revenue from more thorough notes. Physicians could generate notes 1% faster which improved cash flow. Administrative overhead was reduced from 46% to 43%. Referring physicians also responded positively to the more comprehensive notes created with Dragon Medical.

Navicor won work for Biogen Idec's cancer drug Lumiliximab and has worked extensively on Genentech's cancer drug Tarceva. While preserving its unique culture, Navicor also aims to take on more global projects and ensure patients receive the best possible treatments.
The University of Colorado Hospital implemented the Cisco Nurse Connect solution to improve patient care and boost nurse productivity. The previous wireless nurse call system had shortcomings like short battery life and inconsistent sound quality. Cisco Nurse Connect allows nurses to respond to patient requests faster without physically visiting each room. It has led to faster response times, a quieter environment for patients, and more efficient use of nursing staff time. Nurses can spend less time waiting for doctor callbacks and more time on direct patient care activities.
Feedback from early users of the pascal photocoagulatorSM2 Strategic
The Pascal photocoagulator allows retinal laser procedures like pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) to be completed much faster than conventional lasers. Interviews with early-adopting practices found that the Pascal reduces PRP treatment time from 2-3 sessions totaling 37.5 minutes to a single session of 6-10 minutes. This time savings provides benefits like increased efficiency, improved patient experience with less pain and fewer return visits, and increased revenue and faster return on investment for practices.

Publicness The Power Of Control by Chris Rovers, Nicola Knop (17 Apr 2009)Jasper Moelker
This document summarizes a presentation on public spaces in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It discusses criteria that determine degrees of publicness, such as infrastructure, functions, scale, power and control, and physical characteristics. It analyzes different types and qualities of public spaces, from metropolitan to community levels. It presents a "public web" scheme showing the connections between public spaces. It provides an example of a "public knot" and examines three neighborhoods regarding publicness. It concludes that rapid city growth and efforts by authorities to control public spaces have led to a differentiated experience of publicness across districts. Alternative strategies are proposed to create more flexible, dynamic and inclusive public spaces.

The document discusses the challenges of documenting care in an electronic medical record (EMR) and presents the Dragon Medical solution as a way to speech enable EMRs. It notes that EMR adoption is rapidly increasing and documentation requirements are rising to maintain reimbursement levels. Template-based EMR notes lack narrative and decision making. The Dragon Medical solution allows physicians to dictate in their own words within the EMR, improving productivity and reimbursement while eliminating transcription costs. Case studies demonstrate increases in productivity, quality of care, and cost savings from implementing Dragon Medical with EMRs.
Medical Associates Clinic is a large multi-specialty practice in Iowa that was using inefficient paper-based processes. They implemented McKesson's Horizon Ambulatory Care EHR to improve communication and workflow. Initial results included a 40-80% reduction in transcription costs within 2 weeks for some specialties. Once fully implemented, the EHR is projected to save over $1.7 million annually through reduced paper/transcription costs and improved coding accuracy. Physicians can now document visits electronically, improving patient care.

The document discusses a mobile app called Mirror MD that aims to reduce hospital readmission rates and costs. Mirror MD allows patients to self-report data to psychiatrists between appointments through a web-based dashboard. It also enables psychiatrists and their staff to view patient data and respond before meetings. Experts in the field believe such an app that empowers proactive patients could improve care quality while lowering costs.
The document discusses the role of a patient coordinator in a dental practice. A patient coordinator can enhance patient communication and experience. They help exceed patient expectations by communicating treatment plans clearly, discussing financial options, and following up with patients after their initial consultation. Key responsibilities of a patient coordinator include communicating effectively with patients, delivering excellent customer service, discussing treatment and financial options, and helping patients decide on and commit to a treatment plan. Hiring a patient coordinator or training an existing staff member can improve practice communication, increase treatment uptake, and boost business outcomes.
The document discusses strategies for improving patient flow and reducing cycle times in medical practices. It describes how mapping patient flows, measuring cycle times, and identifying interruptions can help practices pinpoint bottlenecks. Practices have found that small tests of change focused on areas like visit planning, co-locating staff, efficient office design, exam room standardization, documentation shortcuts, and streamlined check-in/out processes can uncover hidden capacity and increase revenue. The key is developing a deep understanding of the current process from the patient's perspective before envisioning an ideal flow and implementing changes while monitoring for unintended consequences. Physician leadership and a team effort are essential to successfully redirecting patient flow.

The document discusses Dragon Medical Practice Edition's medical vocabularies, which cover nearly 60 medical specialties and subspecialties. It is important to select the correct specialized medical vocabulary that matches your practice to achieve the highest accuracy. The document lists many medical specialties and subspecialties that are covered, and provides guidance on selecting a vocabulary if your specialty is not explicitly mentioned.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition is a speech recognition software designed specifically for clinical settings. It provides over 60 specialty-specific vocabularies that have 33% higher accuracy than general purpose speech recognition like Dragon NaturallySpeaking. This increased accuracy saves physicians time by reducing transcription errors. Using a less accurate solution could cost a physician seeing 40 patients per day over 2 fewer patients per day in review and correction time. Dragon Medical Practice Edition was designed from the ground up for clinical workflow, supporting EHRs, templates, and other medical features not found in general purpose solutions. It maximizes clinician productivity, revenue, and satisfaction compared to alternatives.
