HI-IQ and Nuance have worked together to save interventional radiologists time and effort capturing, communicating and analyzing critical procedural and results data. New capabilities will pre-populate reports and complete encounters using a bi-directional HI-IQ – PowerScribe 360 interface. |
In a combined development effort aimed at reducing the time it takes radiologists to fulfill their required case documentation, HI-IQ has leveraged Nuance’s specifications to create bi-directional interface that cross-populates quality data between HI-IQ and PowerScribe® 360. The companies began working together as an outgrowth of the SIR’s and SIR Foundation’s recent initiative to develop and publish structured reports. Recognizing overlaps and synergies between the data captured in the radiology report and data documented for Quality Assurance within HI-IQ, SIR introduced the two companies and they quickly began working together to develop a solution.
Through the interface, data captured in HI-IQ will pre-populate auto-text fields in the report. During the dictation process in PowerScribe 360, the radiologist completes any missing information and makes corrections and updates to the pre-populated data. The final report is then sent to HI-IQ, updating and completing the HI-IQ record. “Data entry fatigue is a real issue in healthcare and seamless integration between critical systems eliminates duplicate entry, saving time and reducing the possibility of errors and discrepancies,” states Kevin Lauzon R.T.(R)(CT), CIIP, HI-IQ’s Clinical Software Design Director.
