The
Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions division of Nuance has long been
committed to providing best-in-class solutions to the radiology
industry. In 2007 alone, the Company reached the following
milestones:
- Continued
market adoption for PowerScribe for Radiology with more than
1,100 speech recognition systems sold to date to
organizations ranging from single-physician private
practices to large-scale health delivery networks
- Secured new
customers including Columbia University Medical Center,
Massachusetts General Hospital and Lahey Clinic
- Estimated that
with PowerScribe for Radiology , Nuance is saving the
industry more than $200 million per year in transcription
costs
- Expanded the
Company’s PACS/RIS Extension Partner (PREPP) program to
encompass more than 50 unique partners
- Strengthened
the Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions radiology team and
product offerings via landmark innovations and the
acquisitions of Commissure and Vocada in October 2007
The addition of Commissure will help Dictaphone enhance patient
care, speed report turnaround time, reduce costs and improve
overall operational efficiency across the radiology industry.
Commissure provides solutions to improve the day-to-day tasks
associated with the interpretation and delivery of diagnostic
imaging exams for radiology departments of all sizes. Commissure
brings to Dictaphone a suite of robust software solutions that
focus on the way diagnostic exams are ordered, interpreted,
documented, shared and analyzed.
Vocada’s
Veriphy™ solution, delivered through a software-as-a-service (SaaS)
model, helps diagnostic departments in hospitals achieve greater
patient safety, better patient outcomes and higher staff
productivity by bringing efficiency and verification to the
communication process surrounding critical test results.
Vocada’s technology is a natural extension to PowerScribe for
Radiology , Dictaphone’s market leading radiology and pathology
reporting solution, and will help healthcare provider
organizations avoid risks associated with delays in
communicating critical patient findings. Currently, the process
for delivering and managing critical test results is manual,
disjointed, inefficient and prone to error.
“This year’s RSNA conference provides the first opportunity for
Dictaphone, Commissure and Vocada to greet the industry as a
newly united team,” said Peter Durlach, senior vice president,
marketing and product strategy, Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions
division of Nuance. “Together, we will continue to deliver
market-leading, speech-driven clinical documentation and
communication solutions that help healthcare provider
organizations reduce costs, improve patient care and safety, and
increase financial reimbursement.”
