Dictaphone PowerScribe Workstation for Radiology from Nuance is a speech recognition system that was built from the ground up for radiology. The software lets doctors dictate, self-complete recognized text, and electronically sign reports from any Internet-connected PC, giving radiologists "once-and-done" control over the report creation process. Due to its strong radiology language model, PowerScribe Workstation offers high recognition accuracy for a broad range of users. The software is order-centric with a variety of specialized features for the demanding radiology environment. PowerScribe Workstation is optimized for doctor self-editing, offering the greatest transcription cost savings, while also accommodating more traditional report editing if desired.

Full RIS And PACS Integrations

To ensure that PowerScribe Workstation fits into your IT environment and leverages your prior investments, Dictaphone had developed a number of HL7 interfaces to leading Radiology Information Systems. In this environment all appropriate order information is delivered to the PowerScribe Workstation system for presentation to the dictating radiologist, and completed reports are uploaded back to the RIS.

Through its PACS/RIS Extension Partner (PREP) program, Nuance has integrated PowerScribe Workstation with a wide range of leading RIS and PACS, including among many others, integrations to IDX, MediTech (including HCA), GE Medical Systems, FUJIFILM Medical Systems, Cerner, Shared Medical Systems (SMS), HBOC Star & Series, and VISTA.

These relationships focus on PowerScribe Workstation PACS/RIS integration with the following goals:

  • To allow the radiologist direct access to the PowerScribe Workstation system from within the PACS software, while consolidating workstations in the reading room.
  • To share patient and report information between the PACS and the speech recognition applications.
  • To eliminate error-prone manual input of accession/work order numbers.
  • To ensure a dramatic reduction in report turn-around time while maintaining user productivity.
