Premier Health – Dayton, Ohio
Our Experience
We chose the Epic EHR
Epic has great “SmartTools” for documentation
Some areas need robust narrative!
We integrated Dragon Medical Voice with Epic

Electronic Health Records
Frustrations with the EHR
“Point and Click” Templates
Limited set of templates – difficult to say what really
happened
Clicking Fatigue – “Clicking Kills!”
Difficult to document narrative sections like HPI and MDM
Still need to type – “Type?”
Decreased productivity – (30-90 minutes/day)
Excluded details can become a problem downstream

Simplifies the workflow – Integrated
Notes available immediately – no transcription delay
Better documentation with more robust narrative sections
Less pointing, clicking, and scrolling
Improves productivity and physician satisfaction
Benefits of Speech Recognition
![Page 6: Costs and Benefits of Speech Recognition and Benefits of Speech Recognition Brian Zimmerman, MD Epic Physician Champion Premier Health Dayton, Ohio](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa59fd57f8b9ac8748d64d1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Software - $1600/provider
• Microphone - $250/device (don’t need one per provider)
• Training (1:1) - $300/provider (group training can cost)
• Go-live Support - $150/provider
• Maintenance/Support - $320/year
• Total Cost/provider - ~$2700 (first year)
Costs of Speech Recognition
![Page 7: Costs and Benefits of Speech Recognition and Benefits of Speech Recognition Brian Zimmerman, MD Epic Physician Champion Premier Health Dayton, Ohio](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa59fd57f8b9ac8748d64d1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Revenue Implications @ Premier Health
$1.4 million saved in Miami Valley Hospital ED in the first
year
Yearly transcription savings are many times more than the
cost of the software and training
ROI – Breakeven point was only a couple of months

Drawbacks of Speech Recognition
Cost
Accuracy
Ambient noise
Microphone selection
Errors (Dragonisms)
Correction Time
![Page 9: Costs and Benefits of Speech Recognition and Benefits of Speech Recognition Brian Zimmerman, MD Epic Physician Champion Premier Health Dayton, Ohio](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa59fd57f8b9ac8748d64d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Most studies focused on error rates
• Many of them showed significant error rates in notes
dictated with speech recognition technology.
• Not many recent studies in this area.
• Pre & post speech recognition deployment time/efficiency
studies would be helpful
Literature Review of Speech Recognition
![Page 10: Costs and Benefits of Speech Recognition and Benefits of Speech Recognition Brian Zimmerman, MD Epic Physician Champion Premier Health Dayton, Ohio](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa59fd57f8b9ac8748d64d1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Literature Review of Speech Recognition
Annunciation Errors
were common
17.5% were
deemed “critical”
Conclusion: Speech
Recognition may
not meet the
rigorous standards
of healthcare.
Questions –
microphone type,
system config,
version of software

Pretty amazing functionality
Brings efficiency by using speech to automate repetitive functions
Saving one or two clicks per patient adds up
Voice activate entire multi-step processes
