Nuance Announces General Availability of Cloud-Based Version of mPower Clinical Analytics Platform for Radiology at AHRA 2018...
July 22 2018 - 10:08AM
At the AHRA 2018 Annual Meeting and Exposition today, Nuance
Communications, Inc. announced the general availability of a
cloud-based version of its proven mPower™ Clinical Analytics
platform for radiology. mPower Clinical Analytics helps
radiologists develop performance improvement strategies through
industry benchmarks and best practices. The cloud-based platform
enables faster, easier access to actionable insights and provides
advanced features, including a new quantitative findings analysis
capability. This new feature helps radiologists reduce care delays,
evaluate MIPS measures and strengthen quality improvement efforts.
Also, at the meeting, Nuance will be demonstrating real-life
applications of its AI Marketplace for Diagnostic Imaging, an open
platform that is accelerating the development, deployment and
adoption of AI for medical imaging.
Nuance’s announcement comes as the healthcare industry enters an
era of value-based care in which radiologists spend a tremendous
amount of time on paperwork and routine processes due to growing
reporting requirements. In addition, locating, extracting and
interpreting appropriate patient information from reports can be
difficult and time-consuming. Nuance’s cloud-based, AI-powered
tools help overcome these challenges by enabling radiologists to
more quickly and accurately extract, aggregate, analyze and report
on patient data.
“Nuance understands the value-based challenges that radiologists
currently face and how to harness technology to address them. When
used to augment a radiologist’s work, Nuance’s mPower Clinical
Analytics platform can triple the positive impact of recommendation
tracking systems,” said Ben Wandtke, MD, MS, chief of diagnostic
imaging, FF Thompson Hospital. “Not only does this cloud-based
technology help optimize productivity and efficiency, it also
improves compliance and increases technical revenue for radiology
practices.”
Providing Data-Driven Insights to Drive Positive
Outcomes Leveraging robust data mining algorithms, mPower
Clinical Analytics transforms unstructured radiology reports and
more quickly provides radiologists access to detailed, actionable
information in Nuance’s PowerScribe 360 reports and other clinical
data sources. With mPower’s AI-based data mining, radiologists can
extract data and actionable insights from radiology reports while
driving change based on industry benchmarks and best practices. In
addition, mPower can help radiologists:
- Reduce length of stay – Modeling industry best
practices, mPower can decrease patient length of stay (LOS) up to
three days for patients needing interventional procedures by
tracking inpatient recommendations and facilitating care
coordination.
- Improve regulatory and billing compliance – By
facilitating MIPS and other regulatory reporting, radiologists can
optimize billing, reimbursement and outcomes documentation.
- Identify variability in follow-up
recommendations – The platform automatically extracts
follow-up recommendations from reports, creates detailed profiles
for consistency, and enables radiologists to appropriately target
and remediate recommendation variability while identifying overdue
examinations.
- Increase revenues – By comparing problems,
benchmarks and results across the industry, mPower helps practice
managers develop and run an operationally efficient organization
that profitably delivers effective clinical care.
- Reduce inappropriate imaging – mPower’s data
mining algorithms can help identify outliers, guide quality
improvement efforts and reduce unnecessary ordering of images.
- Provide enhanced security – the cloud-based
platform is hosted in Microsoft Azure, a HITRUST CSF certified
hosting infrastructure, enabling easier upgrades, minimizing
service disruptions and reducing total cost of ownership with
reduced maintenance costs.
“Facing mounting pressure to demonstrate value and quality,
radiologists must harness the intelligence hidden within their data
and those of the industry to garner clinical insights into their
biggest performance and quality challenges,” said Karen Holzberger,
vice president and general manager, Healthcare Diagnostics, Nuance.
“Through Nuance-developed algorithms, the cloud-based mPower
Clinical Analytics platform enables a more seamless and secure
approach to extracting actionable, clinical information more
efficiently. This data can then be used proactively and play a more
active role in improving patient care.”
Proving the Power of AI-Driven Radiology
Workflows AI empowers radiologists with improved
productivity, while reducing their burdensome, tedious tasks. In
addition to the mPower Clinical Analytics technology, Nuance will
showcase its portfolio of AI-powered diagnostic solutions at AHRA,
including real-life applications of its AI Marketplace for
Diagnostic Imaging, an open platform for a growing number of
developers, data scientists and radiologists to accelerate the
development, deployment and adoption of AI for medical imaging.
Attendees visiting Nuance’s booth will be able to experience an
example of an AI-driven clinical use case for reading and analyzing
CT chest images to detect lung nodules, in collaboration with
registered AI Marketplace developers, Aidence, and Client Outlook’s
eUnity image viewing platform. This demonstration will illustrate
one example of how AI can be developed and seamlessly integrated
into a Nuance-based radiology workflow, augmenting the role of
radiologists.
On Tuesday, July 24 from 4:15 – 5:45 PM ET, Woojin Kim, MD,
chief medical information officer at Nuance, will present a
breakout session titled “Analytics and AI in Radiology in the Era
of Value-Based Care.”
