May 6, 2008 - MedQuist Inc. recently released an enhanced integration capability between its SpeechQ for Radiology interactive speech recognition solution and various PACS, an integration allowing radiologists to move between the two applications reportedly to increase productivity.
With this integration, radiologists can quickly create a diagnostic report of their findings and provide this information to patients’ physicians and caregivers. Among the actions possible via the new SpeechQ-PACS integration are:
— Enhanced bidirectional ability, allowing PACS to control SpeechQ, and SpeechQ to control PACS
—Implementation of true bidirectional messaging from PACS to SpeechQ and SpeechQ to PACS
—Implementation of true bidirectional communication of status and state from PACS to SpeechQ and SpeechQ to PACS
—Streamlined login and logout for the radiologists, reportedly improving workflow and time efficiency
— Improved workflow for the radiologists for report creation, via
application synchronization features that reduce the number of “clicks” the physician must go through to perform work
