HIMSS 2009, CHICAGO, IL — April 6, 2009 — Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), a leading supplier of speech solutions, will preview version 8 of its Enterprise Workstation at booth 1448 at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2009 annual conference, held at McCormick Place in Chicago this week. The latest version of Enterprise Workstation is offered as a documentation workflow add-on for the Dictaphone Enterprise Speech System, allowing physicians the option to dictate, self-correct, and electronically sign medical reports in a single step without the need for transcription.

Building on the latest Dragon Medical-based speech recognition technology that powers Nuance’s successful Dictaphone Enterprise Speech System, an on-premise computer aided medical transcription (CAMT) solution; Enterprise Workstation v8 introduces significantly-improved front-end speech recognition as a physician alternative to the background-speech-assisted clinical documentation process.

“With Enterprise Workstation, physicians can eliminate the time lag associated with traditional medical transcription and healthcare organizations can reduce the costs of these services. By allowing physicians to create and sign medical reports in one sitting, Nuance solutions make the whole documentation process more efficient,” said Peter Durlach, senior vice president of marketing and product strategy, Nuance Healthcare. “Our solution provides a single enterprise-wide, on-premise platform with the latest medical speech recognition technology, delivering both front-end, real-time speech capabilities and background-speech-assisted transcription. These dual workflow options make it easy for healthcare facilities to manage physician documentation preferences and reduce transcription costs.”

With Enterprise Workstation, physicians can choose to eliminate the traditional clinical documentation process of sending dictations to transcription. Rather, clinicians can easily use Enterprise Workstation from their desktop or notebook computer to automatically recognize their dictation for real-time documentation, edit and electronic sign-off. Physicians can edit using a keyboard, mouse, and standard word processing tools, or with voice editing capabilities can utilize voice commands and microphone controls to navigate the document. Physicians also have the option of hands-free dictation, via a USB headset and foot pedal.

The latest version of Enterprise Workstation supports all physician dictation styles, offers multiple medical language models, multi-user voice editing, sophisticated shortcuts and templates, along with other enhanced features. Enterprise Workstation also provides remote connectivity from multiple locations or home for dictation, review and sign-off. Physicians simply open a browser and connect to a web server to access their profile and speech files.

In addition to the Dictaphone Enterprise Speech System on-premise CAMT solution, Nuance also offers the eScription on-demand, enterprise-wide CAMT platform. For more information on which CAMT solution is best for your organization, visit http://www.nuance.com/healthcare/ or call 1 800 350-4836.
