Real-Time Computer-Assisted Physician
Documentation to Drive Better Insight into Patient Care with
Capture of Appropriate Hierarchical Condition Categories
(HCC)
AHIMA--Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today
announced general availability of Dragon® Medical Advisor, its
latest Computer-Assisted Physician Documentation (CAPD) solution
that fits naturally into existing Dragon Medical and physician
workflows, to help healthcare organizations improve the
completeness and accuracy of medical records. Dragon Medical
Advisor provides real-time, automated advice to physicians at the
time of care using expanded content with essential ICD-10 diagnosis
codes and CMS Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCC) that better
define patients’ true medical conditions. This helps providers
capture appropriate reimbursement for the disease burden of
patients and avoid penalties for ICD-10 noncompliance in effect
after the grace period ended October 1, 2016.
Nuance will demonstrate the new Dragon Medical Advisor solution,
available today, in booth #622 at AHIMA16, October 15-19 in
Baltimore, MD.
Reduce Documentation Inquiries with Real-Time CAPD
“Hospitals and health systems desperately need technology that
makes it easier for physicians to paint a more complete and
accurate picture of the patient’s condition through documentation
without adding to the myriad of administrative tasks that burden
physicians today,” reports Patrick Gardner, general manager of
Clintegrity, Nuance Communications. “With Dragon Medical Advisor,
we’ve enabled any physician, using any EHR, to actually increase
the completeness of their patient notes while simultaneously
reducing the time required for clinical documentation.”
Nuance is the first provider to address ICD-10, quality and risk
adjustment metrics at the earliest point in the process — as
physician notes are being created. By providing CAPD technology and
services for clinical documentation improvement (CDI), physician
notes more accurately reflect patient health risks and physicians
are three times more likely to document specificity. Nuance
naturally amplifies human intelligence through clinical
documentation solutions that improve clinical and financial
outcomes.
“There are plenty of solutions that can help take something
physicians don’t like to do and allow them to get it done faster.
But we took a look at the bigger picture of voice recognition
technologies and discovered how evidence-based guidelines and new
therapies are exploding in this space, and we found that only
Nuance is on the leading edge of this trend toward higher-order
voice recognition solutions,” said Brian Lancaster, executive
director of information management, Nebraska Medicine. “We not only
wanted to positively impact our physicians’ satisfaction with the
electronic medical record, but we also wanted to guide them to
achieve an even higher quality of care. These technologies work
together toward those goals."
Surge for Simpler Tools for Physicians
Nuance has seen a three-fold increase in the last quarter alone
in the number of healthcare organizations choosing Dragon Medical
Advisor to support a streamlined physician documentation process to
ease administrative burdens while delivering enhanced quality and
financial outcomes. In the last three months, leading medical
centers including Presbyterian Healthcare Services in NM, St.
Bernard’s Medical Center in AR, St Marks Medical Center in TX,

Regional Hospital in MS and children’s hospitals in Florida and

Advisor.
