This initiative is for the use of Nuance's Dragon Medical One (DMO) by Yukon Government, Department of Health and Social Services (HSS). DMO is a cloud-based speech recognition and dictation software that converts speech into text and is used by HSS to support client interactions in clinical settings.
Care Provider's dictation is immediately transcribed to text on their HSS workstation and sent directly into the user interface of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, allowing Care Providers to speak rather than manually type information about their clients. By using DMO in care settings, Care Providers can complete reports in real-time with self-editing capabilities and have access to finalized reports in HSS EMRs.
While the purpose of the PIA is to document the translation to text into client EMRs, the DMO product may also be used by HSS employees to translate to text for other purposes beyond client interactions.
