Does eClinicalWorks have voice recognition?
Yes, eCw does support VR, but it requires an additional license for extra software (Dragon). Although VRot is very effective to save money and time to replace dictation when EHR is not implemented. Once EHR is in place, most doctors prefer to use templates and can generate progress notes with a few key strokes. For those who want to use VR, there are two choices. Most if not all tabletPCs with MS OS should have a generic built-in VR, which is unfortunately not designed for medical purpose. Dragon Natural is far more sophisticated and supported by eCW. It does come with a choice of different specialties. eCW offers a discount for eCW users who choose to use Dragon. We recommend a high end microphone, but have also heard doctors use the built-in mic. It is important to have a noise cancelling feature. Lastly, your tablet should have at least 1GB memory to make VR more comfortably.
