UC San Diego MC Taps Speech Recognition

University of California, San Diego Medical Center (UCSD Medical Center) has selected Dragon Medical from Nuance (Burlington, Mass.) for use at multiple facilities. The solution will be utilized to expand physicians’ options for documenting EHRs to include real-time speech recognition, says the company.

Physicians can document patient encounters with their voice for editing in real-time, without the need for medical transcription or reliance on typing and mouse navigation to complete an EHR, touts the company.
