Instant Voice Recognition
Once an image study is performed by a technologist, the images are interpreted and “read” into the PowerScribe system by a radiologist. PowerScribe is a voice-to-text system that allows radiologists to immediately review, edit and sign their reports.
After they are signed, the reports are available in Meditech and auto-faxed to the referring physician within minutes. Since the system was implemented, turnaround time has dropped from 24 hours to an average of 1.5 hours.
Synapse PACS Viewing
Physicians can view the images either within the hospital viewing station or remotely from their offices or home at any desktop PC.
The remote portal allows physicians to have the images and report at their fingertips, which, in turn, helps them treat their patients quicker.
