MEDITECH Launches Expanse Virtual Assistant Through Nuance

MEDITECH and Nuance Communications Inc. (Nuance), today announced a collaboration to re-imagine the way physicians interact with their Expanse EHR by introducing intuitive voice-driven navigation. Built upon the leading Nuance Dragon Medical solution already used by more than 550,000 physicians, the companies have partnered to launch the MEDITECH Expanse Virtual Assistant. Nuance's deeply embedded virtual assistant technology and sophisticated conversational AI dialogue and skills will enable physicians to navigate their EHR hands-free and transform the way they practice and provide care. By simplifying routine tasks, physicians can save steps and time, freeing them up to focus on direct patient care. Expanse Virtual Assistant responds to simple verbal commands by retrieving the information you're looking for -- without you having to type, point, click, or even touch your device. Clinicians can experience new levels of efficiency and usability while keeping their focus squarely on patients, not their computer systems.
