For everyone who is considering buying Dragon Premium 13 or Dragon Professional 13, it is important to note that version 13 does not support Microsoft Office 2016. It does, however, support the Windows 10 operating system.

If you are using Dragon Medical Practice edition 2 and you need to bring your profile over to a new computer, the task may seem daunting at first. What about your commands? What about your hotkeys? How will you bring over the trained vocab you have done over the years?
Worry not, for it is incredibly simple. All you need is a USB stick and a few minutes.
First, go to the computer where you currently have Dragon installed. Go to profile, “Manage User Profiles”, click your profile to highlight it, then click the “Advanced” button. Choose “Export” and then send it to your USB stick.
Take the USB stick, pop it in the new computer. You then follow the same steps. Go to profile, “Manage User Profiles”, click your profile to highlight it, then click the “Advanced” button. This time choose “Import”. Select the file from the location on the USB and let Dragon do the rest.

Got this call regarding Dragon MEdical Practice Edition 2, and the physician couldn’t work his power mic II for some odd reason.
Ok, so this is just a quick reminder to check your current dictation source if you think your microphone might be malfunctioning. By clicking “profile”, “manage user profile”, you will see the microphone type under “source”. If yours is not there, select your profile, then hit “source”, “new”, and then add the microphone of your choosing.

Dragon Medical works with most windows-based EHRs such as Epic®, Cerner®, GE®, McKesson® and many more listed below which self-report compatibility to EHRscope.com. Note that EHRscope.com is not a Nuance-sponsored site, and therefore Nuance has not validated claims made by vendors regarding compatibility with Dragon Medical.

Just a heads up….
October 1, 2014 will bring drastic changes to your practice with the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10. The increase in coding will jump from 16,000 to 68,000 alone! All “covered entities” – as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) – are required to adopt ICD-10 codes for use in all HIPAA transactions with dates of service on or after the October 1, 2014, compliance date.
To avoid disruptions in your patient care and reimbursement, you must be ready. A successful transition from ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes will require significant planning. At minimum, your organization should consider the following:

There are various views regarding President Obama’s ability to ensure that all medical records in the United States are converted into the electronic format by 2014 but there is no denying the fact that an increased adoption of EMR or electronic medical records by physicians, healthcare organizations and their related business associates is now a gradually-progressing certainty.
A rather recent legislation further underlines the initiative for moving onto the electronic platform of storing patient medical records—called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act or the ARRA. This legislation is aimed at creating more funding and a network of incentives that can be directly resourced towards healthcare professionals or physicians who are ready to adopt EMR and abide by the concept of “meaningful use” of Electronic Medical Records by 2014.
The year 2014 is also significant from the perspective that from 2015 onwards, penalties are likely to be levied on entities dealing with patient healthcare data unable to upgrade themselves to electronic record technologies. Legislations like the ARRA and the entire campaign promoting EMR is based on the principle that electronic records provide the combined benefit of securing patient information and cutting down healthcare costs—two irrefutable advantages.
It should be noted that the proposed penalty in 2015 is of 1% and this is likely to increase incrementally, up to 5% in the forthcoming years. Most of the penalties will be levied in the form of reduced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. To engage appropriate funding, all entities applying for the EMR healthcare funding should understand and prove “meaningful use” of patient medical records and the use of “certified EHR” technologies. This essentially means that the EMR vendor chosen by a healthcare provider/clinic or its business associates should comply with regulations that have been put forth in this niche, such as the standards set by the Security Rule of HIPPA.
The government is very serious in terms of ensuring that the conversion rate to EMR technologies is appreciable and that is why along with grants and federal funding, more college-level programs aimed at creating more Health Information Management professionals are likely to be introduced as 2014 draws near. This will ensure that the impending explosion in electronic records numbers is addressed with the availability of qualified professionals—further helping to reduce the overall costs for employing healthcare computer technologies and easing the entire process.

This is a direct Q&A session from a chat session on our website. Here you will see many of the most commonly asked questions about the software and our company. Enjoy–and feel free to come chat with us about Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2! (M-F 8:30-5 Central time)
Kyle: Hello, would you like to talk about our products?
Client: yes, what makes the 2nd edition better?
Kyle: lots of things, I’ll explain…first off you have a revamped speech engine, the terminology has been expanded, and the recognition feature has been tweaked to better understand accents and regional dialects
then you have the speed of transcription it transcribes 33% faster (while remaining 99.99 percent accurate) directly into parts of the EMR, It has adopted usage for EHR point and click systems, etc.Client: wow
Kyle: there is way more–the auto cap is better, it can recognize homophones
Client: so is dragon medical 2nd ed. the best out there right now ?
Kyle: you can use your cell phone/ipad.andrioid device as a wirless mic that will still transfer your voice to text in an EMR or word doc
Kyle: by far, it is the best out on the market. It’s made by nuance (we are premier partners with them)
Client
i was looking into the philips SM Air, is a powerful mic like that needed?Kyle: not at all, it comes with a standard headset that works fine—but you can also use a hand held power mic, bluetooth headset, digital recorder, etc.
Client: can i trade the headset for a stick?
Kyle: you can purchase the power mic II combo, which includes a license with a power mic II. I can take off a chunk of the MSRP to make up for the cost
Client: whats the price on that ?
Kyle: It is currently listed at 1899.99, but I can do it for (CALL, EMAIL OR CHAT FOR QUOTE) Absolute lowest price. Unless you manage to find it advertised for cheaper elsewhere, in which case I may even price match.
Client: not a bad deal. how many computers can i put it on?
Kyle: 4 computers initially, but if you need more I can add some for you at no additional cost.
Client: do all the computers pick up on the training, i mean if i use one more than the others
Kyle: no, each install requires an install training for set uo. But you can import saved voice profiles to a different computer as needed. So like, if you use one computer sometimes, and another one less often–both would work fine. Its already 99.99 percent accurate (medical terms included) but certain things like recently added names might not be correct on the less used computer until you manually change them or import the saved voice profile from the other machine
Client: i heard a really good mic makes a big difference
Kyle: its where you do the initial training that makes the difference!!! for example, if you work in a loud and busy environment, it doesn’t make sense to do the vocal recognition training in a quiet room you’d want to do it where there is background noise, so that the software filters it out from the get-go! but a nice mic like the power mic II helps with speed because you can program certain functions, and it has some things built in that help streamline the note taking process
Client: shipping?
Kyle: Free UPS ground for you
Client: is there like a 2 week trial download i could use to see how it goes
Kyle: No, but I can give you 30 day money back guarantee. If you call in, I can lock the price for (CALL EMAIL OR CHAT FOR QUOTE), that way you don’t have to pay MSRP online.
Kyle: I’ve got the lowest prices around cause we are premier partners with the manufacturer and have a few remaining licenses from our previous quarter, and the other places don’t give you free training /implementation and unlimited technical support.
Client: ok, give me your direct line and i’ll call in to order
Kyle: 1-800-433-6326 ext. 3060
