BURLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuance
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that
CyncHealth, a Great Plains Health Data Utility, has selected Nuance
PowerShare™ to give providers and patients seamless, secure
access to diagnostic imaging and clinical data at the
point-of-care. Timely access to imaging studies helps expedite
important clinical decisions, reduce redundant exams, and ensure
care continuity for patients transferred between facilities, or
those who received imaging exams out of state.
Nuance's PowerShare Image Aware offering enables CyncHealth to
authorize clinicians and patients in Nebraska and participating healthcare
facilities in Iowa to access and
share diagnostic images and reports securely, quickly, and easily
without the added costs and delays of creating and shipping CDs.
CyncHealth will also use PowerShare to alert emergency department
(ED) clinicians of prior imaging studies and reports that exist on
the Health Data Utility, and to automatically fetch relevant prior
images for patients registered in the ED.
"Diagnostic imaging plays a vital role in virtually every
medical specialty, so image-enabling our Health Data Utility is an
essential part of our mission to make health information access and
exchange better and safer, expand access to quality care, and
improve patient and financial outcomes," said Melanie Surber, CyncHealth Vice President,
Clinical Informatics. "The proven performance, reliability,
usability and nationwide reach of Nuance PowerShare were the
determining factors in selecting it as our image exchange
solution."
Used by 70% of acute care hospitals in Nebraska and 60% in Iowa, the Nuance PowerShare solution connects
more than 10,000 U.S. healthcare facilities sharing 2 billion
images each year without the need for costly added infrastructure
or VPNs. The PowerShare Image Aware network will also enable
radiologists to integrate a patient's prior imaging into radiology
reporting tools such as Nuance PowerScribe, the radiology reporting
cloud platform used by 80% of radiologists in the U.S.
"We know from multiple accounts of PowerShare users across the
country that rapid and secure exchange of radiology data not only
improves patient outcomes and helps lower costs in everyday
clinical practice, it also saves lives when time to treatment is
critical," said Karen Holzberger,
senior vice president and general manager of diagnostic solutions,
Nuance. "It's especially gratifying when healthcare innovators and
leaders such as CyncHealth choose Nuance as their solutions
provider for the secure and seamless exchange of vital healthcare
information. It empowers the patients and providers using
CyncHealth services to improve healthcare costs, experiences, and
outcomes."
