October 19, 2023 —NewVue, Inc., in seeking to address the medical imaging community’s growing radiologist shortage and high-stress culture, has announced the unveiling of EmpowerSuite. In a written statement detailing the launch, the radiology workflow technology company noted that its revolutionary PACS-integrated digital radiologist command center supports radiologists by enhancing workflow efficiencies and job satisfaction.
The cloud-native platform uses cutting-edge AI to summarize clinical data and balance radiologists’ reading preferences with workload demand, taking a uniquely radiologist-friendly and holistic approach to radiologist workload and recognition. In so doing, reports the company, the solution goes beyond traditional RVU tracking, recognizing all facets of a radiologist’s contributions, such as collaboration and peer learning.
NewVue’s EmpowerSuite utilizes AI to centralize and summarize patient data from disparate systems, including output from AI algorithms, and integrates essential clinical, administrative and regulatory workflows such as results follow-up, consultations and peer learning.
”Practicing radiologists face overwhelming workloads due to aging patients, production-line-style worklists and the growth of imaging volume,” explains Kyle Lawton, co-founder, NewVue, noting the surge in clinical data and tools can be overwhelming. He continued, "Radiologists have to root around the EHR and other systems to gain clinical context for each patient. The EmpowerSuite resolves this by delivering essential information summarized and tuned to the radiologist’s needs in an intuitive cockpit-like interface, reducing radiologists’ stress and empowering them to focus on what they do best.”
For each patient case, the EmpowerSuite’s unified command center presents radiologists with a simple AI-generated clinical summary and longitudinal timeline, which highlights relevant clinical encounters. Also displayed are AI-suggested clinical considerations, recommended follow-up and case references. Additionally, noted the written statement of its newly-launched technology, EmpowerSuite’s innovative worklist enables radiologists to set their preferred exam reading modes and then maps out coverage for the entire reading group. The system also enables intelligent balanced assignment of other high priority exams based on such criteria as criticality, SLA and site-specific workflow.
“Recognizing and rewarding radiologist achievements is paramount, especially because they often work in isolation from patients and peers,” says Mike Moore, co-founder, NewVue. “He further noted, "EmpowerSuite's innovative approach not only streamlines radiology workflow but also fosters motivation and peer recognition through personal performance metrics. The platform incorporates gamification elements to enhance job satisfaction, boost productivity and encourage collaboration.”
The platform also offers a full analytics suite that monitors radiologist availability in real time and adjusts accordingly. This enables unparalleled administrative visibility and the ability to manage both recognition for performance and staffing demands in a positive and proactive way.
Tampa, FL-based NewVue brings the expertise and innovation of the former peerVue radiology software team to the EmpowerSuite. Acquired by McKesson in 2012, peerVue reinvented radiology regulatory and quality workflows and is now trusted by thousands of radiology providers worldwide.
