NoteSwift Releases Version 3.0
NoteSwift has released the 3.0 version of NoteSwift, which enables healthcare providers using Allscripts Professional EHR with Dragon Medical speech recognition to enter patient notes 40 percent faster than with Allscripts Professional alone.
With NoteSwift, providers use just their voices to place both structured data and narrative text into patient notes, reducing 100 mouse clicks and keystrokes to less than five. In addition, NoteSwift links the narrative details with the structured data.
This latest version of NoteSwift includes features for the most intensively used sections of the patient note, including the following
- Reason for Visit: Just say the symptom and NoteSwift automatically searches for it. Multiple findings can be entered in a single voice stream without the need to repeat "Next finding." Entries are made via natural dictation, so that "Week: 2" becomes "two weeks ago."
- Assessment & Plan: When updating current medications, simply speak the patient's past and current medications into the note instead of manual keyboard entry.
- Prescribe: NoteSwift's new Med-Alias file immediately recognizes the top 100 prescribed drugs. Simply say the drug name, strength, dosage, days, quantity, and refills. In less than 5 seconds the e-prescription is ready to be sent to the patient's local or mail-order pharmacy.
- History: Meet meaningful use requirements by automatically entering family and social history as structured data.
Other enhancements include context-sensitive help based on each section of the note and the ability to use a single profile for local and remote access.
"Physicians are complaining loudly about the time they spend, both in the office and at home, on electronic health records. NoteSwift users tell us that by reducing the time they spend on patient documentation, they can see at least two more patients per day and get home earlier," said Wayne Crandall, president and CEO of NoteSwift, in a statement.
