Cerner (Kansas City) and Nuance (Burlington, Mass.), announced they are integrating Cerner’s mobile EHR solutions with Nuance’s cloud-based medical voice recognition service. According to the companies, this expands their existing relationship and will allow providers to complete patient notes and navigate applications by the use of their voice.
