January 7, 2021 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (Burlington, MA) announced that Rush University Medical Center has expanded its use of the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX) ambient clinical intelligence (ACI) solution to 14 clinical specialties to help relieve the burden of clinical documentation.
The 14 clinical specialties, including otolaryngology, plastic surgery, urology, and orthopedics, were selected based on the specialty’s workflow and clinical documentation needs.
Nuance DAX extends the power of Nuance Dragon Medical with the latest AI-powered advancements to create a fully voice-enabled and ambient exam room environment. The system securely captures, contextualizes, and automatically creates detailed clinical notes from multi-party conversations during on-site and virtual encounters with patient consent.
It enables physicians to stay fully engaged with patients without the need to look away to type or dictate. It also improves clinical documentation quality and physician satisfaction by ensuring that the complete patient story is captured while reducing the time needed to update clinical documentation, the company says.
