Atlanta-based Piedmont Healthcare deployed Nuance Communications' Dragon Medical One, PowerMic Mobile and Dragon Medical Advisor.
The Dragon Medical One is a cloud-based and artificial intelligence-powered speech recognition platform; PowerMic Mobile is a microphone app that can be used for dictation; and Dragon Medical Advisor is an AI-powered computer-assisted physician documentation solution. The health system hopes to use these products to enhance care coordination and clinician documentation in its hospitals.
Piedmont Healthcare comprises 11 hospitals, 24 urgent care centers, 28 QuickCare locations and 555 physician practice locations. The health system serves nearly 2 million patients across Georgia.
"We chose Nuance for both their products as well as their service and support capabilities. Nuance provides a vital set of tools to our physicians with innovations and resources to boost their efficiency and quality of work," said Robert Budman, MD, chief medical information officer at Piedmont Healthcare.
