(Booth 7113) MedQuist of Mount Laurel, NJ, will introduce the integration of the RadWorkFlow product from Inland Imaging of Spokane, WA, with its own SpeechQ front-end speech recognition application.
The integration is a productivity move to help reduce multiple manual steps in the radiology study process and to shorten the time-to-report delivery.
RadWorkFlow is designed to accelerate and track radiology studies from time-of-order through interpretation, granting healthcare organizations consolidated access to critical operational data from disparate RIS/PACS worklists and across multiple sites. Essentially, it aggregates worklists from various different systems at different sites into a single enterprise-wide workflow plan.
RadWorkFlow accepts studies from multiple systems and logically queues those studies to the appropriate radiologist for interpretation based on site-defined rules, the company said. In addition, stat orders are sped through the queue, and "lost" studies are eliminated.
RadWorkFlow also covers critical/call report and peer review/quality assurance tracking, and it provides dashboards and business metrics reporting, in addition to facilitating technologist communication.
Integrated with SpeechQ, RadWorkFlow helps to reduce report turnaround time because the speech-recognized report is immediately reviewed and signed by the radiologist, then routed through RadWorkFlow back to the requesting organization and physician, according to the company.
Currently available only in the U.S. and Canada, RadWorkFlow is integrated with RIS, PACS, and speech recognition products.
