What’s next.

At each of the past few RSNA annual meetings, Nuance has introduced important new capabilities and enhancements for our diagnostic solutions portfolio. That includes the Nuance® AI Marketplace, Nuance PowerScribe™ One, and for 2020, the integration of Common Data Elements standards into PowerScribe One. We’ve also increased investments in PowerScribe Follow-up Manager, mPower Clinical Analytics, […]

In Birmingham, Alabama, Grandview Medical Center has grown to become a progressive, flagship facility. But until 2019, the radiology department still relied one hundred percent on transcription for their radiology reports. According to radiologist Dr. Joel Mixon, the process was inefficient at best. As a resident, he trained on a voice recognition platform, so he […]

As the largest independent academic medical center in Philadelphia, Einstein Healthcare Network has one mission – to provide exceptionally intelligent, responsive healthcare and education for its patients. It’s a vision reflected in the radiology team’s careful attention to every aspect of the patient journey – from scheduling and image acquisition to reporting and follow-up. Not […]

PowerScribe One is the cloud-based centerpiece of our portfolio of diagnostic imaging solutions. Its structured data model, standards support, real-time communications, and AI-powered workflow and decision support tools help radiologists improve care and financial outcomes while enhancing productivity and reducing burnout. The PowerScribe One cloud platform also unites a wider collaborative community of innovators and […]

Prioritizing progress The Radiology Alliance team was among the more than ninety percent of radiology practices in the U.S. that experienced a major decline in the volume of procedures unrelated to COVID-19. “Instead of a standard deployment, we suddenly found ourselves upending everything we do—as well as how and where we do it—while simultaneously moving […]

Health systems and radiology departments continue to face the ongoing challenges of burnout and financial constraints, both of which have been exacerbated by a global pandemic. We know, for example, that the American College of Radiology has adopted CDC guidance to reschedule non-urgent outpatient screening, such as mammography, and interventional procedures. The economic effects are […]

The sudden and disruptive hard pivot that radiologists made as the COVID-19 pandemic struck early in the spring was more than just a series of necessary adaptations. It also signaled the acceleration of digital transformation initiatives that were underway in radiology and other areas of healthcare before the pandemic. Now, radiology practices are highly motivated […]

In late March, as New York City prepared for a surge in patients with COVID-19, officials from FEMA and the Army Corps of Engineers partnered to create thousands of additional patient care beds over just a couple of weeks. Supporting this plan meant dedicating space within the city’s iconic Javits Center to establish a temporary […]

As the COVID-19 pandemic engulfed hospitals across the country, radiology department leaders had to make a hard and immediate pivot to have their teams work safely from home within a matter of days. That entailed transforming established work routines built around multiple on-site systems to work effectively from multiple locations away from the normally bustling […]

Easy access to detailed analytics is something most of us take for granted. That’s true in nearly every aspect of our business and personal lives, from sales and P&L reports, to web and social media analytics, to home banking apps, and even our workout routines and favorite sports. That’s why it’s so ironic that physicians, […]

In my last blog entry, I shared how care facilities of all sizes have made the Nuance PowerShare Network the largest image-sharing network in America. The network has even grown since then and now serves more than 6,400 facilities spanning nearly 25,000 physicians and more than 26,000 patients exchanging almost 1.5 million studies each month. […]

We all recognize the value and importance of networking in our personal and professional lives because of the connections we can make to gain access to useful information and resources. While networking seems to come more easily or naturally to some, it actually takes purposeful, continuous effort to build and maintain a robust network. Those […]
