 Nuance in radiology: healthcare providers choose to speak
Nuance is the UK's leading provider of speech-activated clinical documentation solutions. The Royal Free Hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital and HCA International are among a number of prestigious healthcare providers who have advanced to speech recognition for medical reporting.
The feedback? "Speech recognition allows the department to ensure delivery of reports to referrers, in some instances within minutes of the completion of an exam," says Royal Free Hospital.
HCA has reduced average report creation times from 24 hours to two minutes and 40 seconds. Great Ormond Street confirms: "An improvement in quality, a reduction in turnaround time and an increase in patient safety as a consequence of the desktop integration." The Aberdeen Royal Infirmary was surprised by the lack of difficulties with the implementation and acceptance of their new SR system.
