Dictaphone PowerScribe Workstation
Modern speech recognition software has served many benefits for those in the healthcare industry, as it allows physicians to dictate into an automated patient record creation system that is HIPAA compliant. The healthcare industry also employs the use of electronic medical record (EMR) software, which helps healthcare professionals efficiently process medical information.
Therefore, being able to speech-enable the creation of electronic medical records offers the healthcare industry the best of both worlds. This is where Dictaphone PowerScribe Workstation comes into play.

Features include:
Information at a Glance
PowerScribe presents physicians with a work list of reports which need dictation. Once the report is selected, the patient information appears on-screen, which eliminates the need for manual or verbal entry of demographic data.
Handheld Dictation Microphone
Dictaphone PowerMic is an ergonomic, noise-cancelling microphone with buttons for familiar dictation control (play, rewind, record, etc.) and navigation through the software. USB capability allows the microphone to be plug-and-play ready, while also eliminating the need for a sound card. An optional, integrated, high-quality bar-code scanner may also be used.
Radiology Language Models
Radiology Language Models provide recognition accuracy of up to 95 percent for more users.
Speaker Training
Acoustic profiles are created when users read reports for less than 15 minutes.
Continuous Adaptation
PowerScribe continues to learn and adapt to users after enrollment in order to improve the acoustic profile.
Full RIS and PACS Integrations
Dictaphone PowerScribe Workstation for Radiology fits into any IT environment and leverages any company's prior investments by including a number of HL7 interfaces to leading radiology information systems. This environment enables all order information to be delivered to the PowerScribe Workstation system for presentation to the dictating radiologist. Completed orders are uploaded back to the RIS.
Through its PAC/RIS Extension Partner (PREP) program, Nuance has integrated PowerScribe Workstation with a wide range of leading RIS and PACS (including many others) integrations to IDX, MediTech (including HCA), GE Medical Systems, FUJIFILM Medical Systems, Cerner, Shared Medical Systems (SMS), HBOC Star & Series and VISTA. The relationship between PowerScribe Workstation and PACS/RIS Integration focuses on the following goals:
To allow the radiologist to gain direct access to the PowerScribe Workstation from within PACS software, while also consolidating workstations in the reading room.
To share patient and report information between the PACS and the speech recognition applications.
To eliminate error-prone manual input of accession/work order numbers.
To ensure a dramatic reduction in report turn-around time while maintaining user productivity.
Dictaphone PowerScribe Workstation for Pathology
Dictaphone PowerScribe Workstation for Pathology brings easy-to-use speech recognition to pathology departments seeking to enhance physician productivity and develop significant cost savings.
Dictaphone PowerScribe Workstation for Pathology uses Nuance's highly accurate pathology language model, which was developed by analyzing hundreds of thousands of pathology reports. Ergonomically designed, hands-free dictation tools allow physicians to use a USB-based headset and foot pedal when dictating. Voice commands control the dictation session and reduce the need to touch the keyboard and mouse. The software also incorporates voice commands and controls, thereby making the combined system a great tool of user flexibility when recording and playing back dictated voice files.
Dictaphone PowerScribe Workstation for Pathology's comprehensive features includes:
Multi-sectioned reports
Reports can be configured to support any number of pathology report sections and can seamlessly upload sections individually to an organization's laboratory information system/anatomic pathology system.
Multiple authors per report
Multiple authors can dictate their sections of the report and have those sections uploaded to the LIS/AP system.
Preliminary uploads of individual report sections
Individual report sections can be uploaded, if needed, so that referring physicians have the information they need on a timely basis.
Resident/Attending workflow support
Reports can automatically be routed from residents to their assigned, attending physician for final review and sign-off, thereby streamlining the workflow for the attending physician.
Physician Self
Delegated editing capabilities allow physicians to self-edit their own speech-recognized reports, on a report-to-report basis, or forward them for transcription editing.
To ensure that PowerScribe Workstation for Pathology fits into any IT environment, Nuance offers an HL7 interface with the facility's information systems. Appropriate visit information and patient demographics are delivered to PowerScribe Workstation for presentation to the physician when dictating, and completed reports are uploaded back to the central system.
