P r o d u c t F A CT S H E E TDragon Medical Practice Edition Product Fact SheetMarket Factors Driving EHR AdoptionEHRs offer the potential to dramatically improve the costand quality of healthcare. Despite this potential, EHR software is used by only 20% of clinicians in the U.S. today.In order to understand the potential benefits of DragonMedical, it is important to articulate the factors that aredriving U.S. healthcare toward EHR adoption, as well asthe factors that are inhibiting EHR adoption.Incentive payments to physicians have dramatically accelerated EHR software purchasing and implementation.Passed in 2009, the Health IT for Economic and ClinicalHealth Act (HITECH) will provide physicians up to 64,000each “for showing that they are meaningfully using healthinformation technology,” by purchasing and using CCHITcertified (www.cchit.org) EHRs. According to the 2010These healthcare providers will form “Accountable CareOrganizations” that will need to have patient informationreadily available. This “care team” approach and paymentphilosophy also puts a premium on ensuring that electronic patient documentation is complete and up-to-date andreflects clinicians’ thoughts and medical decision-making,thus ensuring better medical decisions.Clinicians repeatedly express concern that EHRs slowthem down and reduce the completeness of medicalrecords because clinicians are required to type and areforced to use an EHR’s structured templates, which do notallow clinicians to express patient assessments, diagnoses, and treatment plans in their own words.Factors Inhibiting EHR AdoptionCapSite Ambulatory EHR and PM Study, 42% of all physi-In the rush to computerize patient information, it iscian practices indicated they had purchased an EHR in theassumed that once EHRs are widely deployed, patientprevious two years—up from 37% a year earlier.records will be more complete and care will universallyPhysicians must also purchase EHRs in order to reportto the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)improve.Clinicians have the following concerns about EHR adoption:a number of Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs) as well asmaintain Problem Lists and Medication Lists.

The sole reliance onA Change in Reimbursement PhilosophyU.S. healthcare is evolving from “fee for service” to “payfor quality,” with pilots for a new payment methodologycalled Accountable Care. As part of this methodology, allcaregivers for an individual patient—including PCP, specialists, hospital, and post-acute care, as needed—sharereimbursement of a single payment by the federal government for an instance of care, such as hospitalization.2EHR’s point-and-click templates requires that a clinicianclick through required menus to provide all detail abouta patient case. Without a corresponding “patientnarrative”—a dictated, free-text description of theclinician’s findings, thoughts, assessment and plan, or“medical decision-making”—the patient note will beincomplete and satisfy neither the clinician providing carenor ancillary providers.

P r o d u c t F A CT S H E E TDragon Medical Practice Edition Product Fact SheetAccording to a survey conducted by Nuance Healthcareof over 1,000 physicians, two-thirds said that using themouse and keyboard to document care in an EHR represents a “major hurdle” in their practice of medicine. Moretellingly, 97% of physicians indicated that the structuredtemplates of an EHR prevent the physician from telling theCore Value PropositionToday, small to mid-sized practices face the challenge ofadopting an EHR in a busy practice, which could have asubstantial impact on the quality of patient documentationand clinician satisfaction.patient’s full story or accurately reflecting the physician’sWith Dragon Medical Practice Edition, these practices candecisions—vital in an integrated delivery network whererealize the following benefits:one-on-one conversations between primary care physician Accelerated EHR adoptionand specialist cannot economically or efficiently take place Clinician satisfactionabout each patient.
