Nuance Communications of Burlington, MA, continues to march on the acquisition warpath, signing an agreement to acquire critical test result management (CTRM) product developer Vocada of Dallas.
The deal allows Nuance to expand the capabilities of its Dictaphone Healthcare PowerScribe and Commissure radiology software with Vocada's Veriphy package, which helps hospital radiology departments streamline the communication process around test results. Nuance also expects the merger to extend its expertise within diagnostic specialties, such as radiology, laboratory, pathology, and cardiology.
Within Dictaphone's PowerScribe and Commissure radiology reporting solutions, radiologists can access Vocada's CTRM functionality in real-time as test results are identified. After recording the details of the findings into a secure voice mailbox, the Vocada system will deliver an alert to referring physicians via a predetermined, preferred method (e-mail, phone, fax, SMS messaging via cell phone or handheld page). Once the system confirms delivery, the radiologist is notified, closing the loop on the results communications chain, Nuance said.
