The administrative burden for clinicians is alleviated by Dragon Medical One through the automation of repetitive tasks and the easing of information access.
And by reducing time spent on documentation, clinicians can spend more time with patients, potentially increase patient throughput and boost revenue.
Automate tasks such as EMR navigation, orders, and signing notes. Go beyond clinical workflows to draft personal emails, navigate Microsoft Office documents, and search the web - all using simple voice commands.

Dragon Medical One’s specialized medical focus, EMR integration, security compliance, productivity tools, and high accuracy make it a superior choice over conventional generative AI tools for surgeons seeking efficient and reliable clinical documentation.

I don’t want to dampen the excitement for AI Scribes, but be sure to evaluate any tool carefully before using it in clinical settings.
Our team at Sound Business has done a thorough evaluation of several medical AI scribe tools, comparing and analyzing features and functionalities.
Not all of these tools are created equal: Eg some comply with NZ and AUS privacy laws, and others do not. Some store data, some don't. Most require copying and pasting notes into the PMS, and all require patient consent.
And the AI does make mistakes.
It remains to be seen whether the time required for reviewing, correcting, and adding to AI-generated text might outweigh any initial time savings.

While AI tools are advancing at an impressive rate, Microsoft's tried and tested Dragon Medical One is still the documentation tool we recommend in most cases.
At it's essence it's an advanced dictation and productivity tool. It doesn't write on your behalf.
While Dragon may not be the hottest or newest option, it has consistently proven to save clinicians up to 60% of their documentation time.
