Since the introduction of EMRs, there has been a constant — and completely justified — push from physicians and other healthcare providers to increase the compatibility of the technology with other frequently used vendor systems.
As talks of interoperability goals have become more prominent over the past few years, this has further prompted EMR users to expect more from their vendors in terms of compatibility.
While there may be workarounds that can be used to connect certain vendor applications with EMRs, the process can be complex and cost-prohibitive, especially for small- and mid-sized physician practices who have fewer resources available.
Frustrated Dragon Medical Users
Dragon Medical's speech recognition platform has been a prominent contender in the healthcare marketplace for years. And for good reasons. While the software is compatible with a number of EMR systems and vendor applications though, we've started to hear rumblings that the overall compatibility may not meet user expectations.

And because we recognize the demand for increased compatibility, SayIt is designed to seamlessly integrate with any clinical documentation system on the market today, whether those systems operate in the cloud or on the desktop. It is well-suited to use with the most popular systems, including Allscripts, athenahealth, CareCloud, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Greenway, Kareo, Meditech, NextGen, and Practice Fusion — just to name a few.
