Northern Health provides access to Dragon Medical One (DMO) voice recognition solution to all medical staff working with Northern Health. DMO is a cloud based software that provides clinical speech recognition for acute, community and primary care services, instantly transcribing voice recorded notes into clinical documents.
DMO can be used to complete dictated clinical documentation in electronic medical records (EMRs). This includes, but is not limited to, Cerner electronic medical record (EMR), Community MOIS (CMOIS) and private medical office information systems.
Benefits of using Northern Health’s DMO include:
- Improved patient care: Dictation and editing in one step, eliminating the need to wait for transcription. Documentation is immediately available for patient care.
- Improved workflow for community-based dictations: Direct entry into CMOIS or other community applications eliminates the need to copy/paste transcribed documents, greatly improving document turnaround time and reducing manual workload for community support staff.
- Portable convenience: Having a cloud-based, single voice profile that can be used across EMRs, taking your personalized vocabularies and templates with you wherever you document in Northern Health.
- Short training time: DMO achieves high accuracy from the start, with a cloud-based profile that is auto-established at first use.
- Built in productivity tools can decrease documentation time: Use commands to insert auto-texts for frequently used text, insert templates, access speciality dictionaries, favourites, and functional processes such as turning the microphone on and off.
- Cost savings: DMO is available to physicians at no charge for hospital and community-based care, as well as private office dictations.
