Nuance and Intelerad Partner to Bring Voice-Enabled Radiology Reporting to Community Hospitals and Imaging Centers


(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 14 November 2012 Release date- 13112012 - BURLINGTON, Mass., and DENVER, CO - Today, Nuance Communications, Inc. and Intelerad Medical Systems announced a reseller agreement by which Intelerad will now offer the benefits of Nuance's proven voice-enabled radiology offering, Powerscribe 360 | Reporting, alongside their medical imaging solutions.



According to recent findings, incorporating speech recognition into a radiologists' workflow is a new service benchmark that can significantly decrease report turnaround times and improve services to referring physicians.

Community hospitals and imaging centers face the same pressures as large hospitals for fast, efficient and accurate reporting of patient results, but with more limited IT resources. Nuance's voice-enabled radiology reporting helps address these industry challenges by creating higher-quality documentation and exam interpretations, while improving report turnaround times. This reseller partnership will enable Intelerad's more than 1,000 imaging center and community hospital customer sites to deploy speech recognition in an effort to establish best practices for reading and reporting patient imaging results.


'Nuance is the market leader in voice-enabled radiology reporting,' said Randall Oka, chief executive officer, Intelerad. 'This partnership will benefit imaging centers and community hospitals by identifying ways to streamline workflow and improve productivity. We're excited about the competitive advantage this partnership presents for our customers.' Through this partnership, Intelerad customers can now take advantage of the same speech technology that is already used to create nearly half of all radiology exams in the U.S. By leveraging Nuance's PowerScribe 360 platform together with Intelerad's solutions, radiologists can take a smarter, faster approach to reporting. Intelerad's solutions include the #1 ranked ambulatory PACS by KLAS five years in a row - IntelePACS, InteleRIS, InteleOne and the recently launched Flow Enterprise Diagnostics Solution.

'Today, radiologists face unprecedented scrutiny and competition so technology is often times a factor that differentiates practices,' said Janet Dillione, executive vice president and general manager, Nuance Healthcare. 'We are excited to partner with Intelerad because of the important role it plays in the medical imaging market. Together, we'll build upon our shared commitment to arm radiologists with the tools they need to adjust to changing workplace dynamics.'
