IMPAX REPORTING
Reporting workflows supported
Different reporting workflows are supported by speech
technology in IMPAX. Speech recognition can be used in
either an online and offline mode:
•
With online recognition, the recognized text is displayed in
realtime on the radiologist’s desktop, allowing immediate
report review and sign-off.
•
In an offline recognition workflow, the dictation is sent to
a server-side process which converts it to text. In this case,
a separate correction step is required before the report
becomes available.
If no recognition is
used, the digitally-dicta-
ted texts will be sent to
a transcriptionist. This
is the digital alternative
to analog dictations.
Alternatively, a user
may always opt for
‘
typing’ as a means of creating a report. The workflows
are highly configurable, and can be adapted to the user’s
requirements.
Flexible, accurate reporting system can reduce
turnaround times and improve patient service
•
Seamless integration of speech processing in Agfa
HealthCare’s reporting application results in a highly
flexible, accurate and efficient reporting solution that
reduces turnaround times for dictating reports and letters.
•
Digital dictation fosters a smoother workflow, resulting in
more timely reports and better service for patients.
•
The proven system is particularly suited to the
radiologist’s needs.
•
Referring physicians benefit from improved service by
obtaining reports sooner, giving them the tools they need
to make diagnosis and to initiate treatment faster.
•
The easy-to-manage system eliminates typing workloads
and allows staff to focus on other tasks; the result may
be enhanced job satisfaction and better delivery of
patient care.
