2021-05-17 23:45

Athenahealth and Nuance Communications announced an expansion of their strategic collaboration to include the integration of Nuance's cloud-based Dragon Medical, bringing speech and virtual assistant technology into the athenaOne EHR and Mobile App.

The collaboration between Nuance and athenahealth is driven by advances in speech technology and the demonstrated ability to transform clinical documentation and improve productivity through an intuitive voice-driven workflow.

"At athenahealth, our collaboration efforts with Nuance are directly pointed at supporting ambulatory care practices and healthcare systems, their providers, and their patients," said Paul Brient, chief product officer, athenahealth.

"Amid the continued strain that the pandemic puts on healthcare workers and the growing need for more efficient, positive experiences in healthcare, Nuance was the ideal partner to help bring a solution to life. With the integration of Nuance's industry-leading technology with our athenaOne EHR, physicians can spend less time on administrative work and more time focusing on patient care."

"Patients want to be fully engaged in their health and care. When we reduce documentation burden with conversational AI technology, clinicians can give more time, empathy, context, and personalized care to their patients," said Peter Durlach, chief strategy officer at Nuance Communications.
