Nuance Introduces Diagnostic Imaging IT Innovations at RSNA 2015 Aimed at Driving Higher Quality Radiology ReportsNuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced several new innovations for its diagnostic imaging solutions designed to help radiologists enhance patient care. These include multimedia reports, advanced lung cancer screening registry reporting and enhanced quality guidance content for radiologists at the point of interpretation. Nuance (News - Alert) will demonstrate PowerScribe 360 version 3.5 along with these new quality based innovations in booth #4729 at RSNA 2015 November 29 - December 4 in Chicago.
Multimedia Reporting "In radiology, a picture really is worth a thousand words," says Dr. Christopher J. Roth, assistant professor of radiology, vice chair of information technology and clinical informatics, and director of imaging informatics strategy at Duke University Hospital. "Being able to show an actual image to referring physicians and their patients, and walk through what that study is telling us is a huge win for patient care. Having the right information is critical to making the most informed decisions."
Automated Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) Reporting & Registry Submission This one-of-a-kind lung cancer screening reporting tool uses the combined power of the PowerScribe 360 reporting platform with Nuance's PowerShare™ Network to ease the creation and ongoing management of lung cancer screening programs. This will make it easier for physicians and hospitals to screen and follow high risk patients and gain reimbursement for these services. "This lung cancer screening registry reporting is a revolutionary capability that will facilitate sites taking part in this program because much of the information from the initial order to data integration can be pulled out of PowerScribe 360 and shared through the ACR portal. It would be extraordinarily difficult for personnel to manually enter all the information required for 300,000 to 1 million exams a year without this technology," said Dr. Lincoln Berland, chair of the Body Imaging Commission for the ACR. "Now, institutions can enter the CMS program without having to hire an unknown number of people to achieve the reporting requirements, ultimately saving lives."
