Nuance Introduces New PowerScribe One Radiology Reporting Platform Powered by AI and the Cloud
November 25 2018 - 8:00AM
At the Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) 104th
Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, Nuance Communications, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NUAN) today introduced PowerScribe One, the next
generation of the industry’s most widely used radiology reporting
platform. Harnessing Nuance’s advanced natural language
understanding capabilities and cloud technology, the PowerScribe
One platform integrates access to artificial intelligence-powered
(AI) diagnostic and decision-support tools to measurably improve
workflow efficiency and accuracy.
“We are committed to transforming the practice of diagnostic
imaging with products, such as PowerScribe One, that help
radiologists amplify their expertise and demonstrate their value
through their primary work product – the diagnostic report,” said
Karen Holzberger, vice president and general manager, Healthcare
Diagnostics, Nuance. “The new PowerScribe One is a game-changer –
harmonizing applications on the radiologists’ desktop;
automatically populating reports with structured data; and making
AI useful and usable within their workflow. Most of all,
PowerScribe One markedly improves efficiency and accuracy, giving
radiologists more time to focus on what matters most – the care
teams and patients they serve.”
Purpose-built to address inefficiencies, inconsistent
recommendations and failed follow-up, PowerScribe One benefits from
the latest advances in AI such as natural language understanding,
image characterization, speech recognition, intelligent exchange of
structured data and cloud technology, enabling radiologists to:
- Extract structured data continuously while dictating;
- Apply structured data to aid in creation of accurate,
clinically appropriate and consistent diagnostic reports;
- Share clinically relevant structured data between
systems—including EHRs, PACS and others—enabling care teams to
improve follow-up, monitoring and outcomes;
- Populate reports dynamically with content from integrated
systems to minimize redundancy and reduce errors;
- Integrate AI image characterization directly into the reporting
workflow to achieve unparalleled levels of efficiency and accuracy
via Nuance’s AI Marketplace;
- Make standardized reporting initiatives easier to launch,
administer, promote and adopt; and
- Harness the cloud to easily access and use evolving technology
and innovation.
“PowerScribe One transforms my dictations on-the-fly into
relevant, structured findings so that it’s not just my words, but
their meaning in the context of my patient’s clinical situation.
Then, by incorporating the data into the decision support workflow,
I can become both more effective and more efficient,” said Tarik
Alkasab, MD, PhD service chief for IT/Informatics and operations at
Massachusetts General Hospital. “PowerScribe One is more than a
voice-enabled text report creation tool, it’s becoming an
integration platform that empowers radiologists to capture, share,
and take action on important patient information more quickly and
easily.”
PowerScribe One leverages a cloud-powered, continuously
learning, and context-aware language understanding platform to
convert unstructured speech-to-text input into structured data.
PowerScribe One also integrates access to AI algorithms within the
radiologist’s normal workflow, giving radiologists powerful
solutions to improve efficiency and throughput, increase diagnostic
accuracy and specificity, and ensure consistent, evidence-based
follow-up recommendations. The integration of structured narrative
data, workflow-embedded AI, clinical guidance, assisted diagnosis,
quality-checking, and report automation tools elevates the
accuracy, completeness, and value of radiology reporting.
PowerScribe One also enables enhanced sharing of concrete and
actionable information with care teams and across the care pathway.
It puts essential follow-up, timeframe, and other information that
was previously stranded within unstructured narrative report text
directly into the hands of clinical users. Converting unstructured
text to structured data opens a path to expanded interoperability
and powers a new generation of data-driven applications. It
also complements standardization work on Common Data Elements by
the ACR, ASNR, RSNA, and other governing bodies to improve
information exchange and advance radiologic practice, research, and
performance measurement.
“Imaging AI cannot be deployed in a silo – integrating the
outputs of AI into the radiologist’s existing clinical workflow
enables it to effectively augment the capabilities of the
radiologist, while preserving as well as enhancing efficiency and
quality,” said Warren B. Gefter, MD, professor of radiology at the
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. “AI in radiology is
rapidly evolving; the challenge is to make it usable and
useful.”
Nuance will demonstrate the effectiveness of PowerScribe One at
the 2018 RSNA Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting at booth #2700
in South Hall A at McCormick Place, November 25 – 30, in Chicago,
IL. For more information about PowerScribe One, click here.
