Vienna-based Philips Speech Recognition Systems and Health Language (HLI) of Leeds, U.K., are partnering to advance system interoperability in healthcare with the help of speech recognition.
The companies seek to automate the conversion of free text into consistent medical terminology for the benefit of direct storage in an electronic medical record (EMR).
Interop 6.1 extracts findings, diagnoses, drugs, allergies, and other relevant information from dictated reports. The information then is formatted for upload to the EMR. Interop 6.1 also identifies medical terms from the history of present illnesses to be indexed in the EMR.
A prototype is on display at this week's annual meeting of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) in New Orleans.
