What is Dragon Medical One?
Dragon Medical One is a cloud-based speech recognition platform developed by Nuance (Microsoft) specifically for healthcare documentation. Clinicians dictate directly into electronic health records, clinical notes, and patient documentation using their voice.
Unlike Dragon Professional, which is a general-purpose desktop product, Dragon Medical One includes built-in medical speciality vocabularies covering cardiology, radiology, pathology, oncology, emergency medicine, general practice, and many others.
It is a subscription service - there is no local installation required. Clinicians can dictate from a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device with an internet connection.
Who uses Dragon Medical One in Australia?
Dragon Medical One is used by general practitioners, specialists, radiologists, pathologists, and other clinicians who need to produce clinical documentation efficiently. It is particularly well suited to practices where doctors are responsible for their own documentation rather than using a transcription service.
For Australian pricing and purchasing, Voice Recognition Australia is the authorised Nuance/Microsoft reseller. Pricing is subscription-based per user per year - contact VRA directly for current rates.
