I have been piloting Dragon Medical Voice Recognition from G2 Speech for the past 2 months for both my surgery and Camden CCG, as a non-typist and use of remote electronic dictation, Dragon has been a great success.
I can use Dragon to type into almost every field on the computer, emails, EMIS Web consultations and all forms to be filled in during the consultation and of course referral letters and reports. My efficiency has improved tremendously in that turnaround times of letters has fallen as I do not have to check my dictation, report production is much easier as I can view all the text that I was not able to when dictating.
I have set up several templates that I can voice dictate into and generating letters with the patient in front of me is not only efficient but of great benefit to the patient in that letters can be done instantly and of course accurately as they are contemporaneous.
Dictating consultation notes has great benefits in that the patient actually hears you construct your consultation notes and you can also face the patient and not have your head buried in your keyboard.
We asked saving secretarial time, with improved accuracy of letters and forms all of which are also being produced more efficiently.
We now installing Dragon throughout the surgery and my colleagues are very enthusiastic as regards its use. I am happy to share my experience with anyone who wishes to contact me.

Dragon-Voice to text has saved us approximately 30 minutes plus per day. It has increased practice efficiency plus patient access; the GP can dictate and code directly into the consultation and also into Word saving both time and administration costs.

We have recently changed boundaries and the help desk advisor guided the engineer and transferred the services effortlessly (the most impressive factor being that this was without prior arrangement).

We are so pleased with this digital dictation appliance that we are more than happy to showcase for the company to anyone who is interested.
