Radiology data-mining and analytics software developer Montage Healthcare Solutions is featuring a new quality control (QC) module added as part of the 3.0 release of its Search and Analytics software.
The Follow-Up QC module is designed to allow radiology departments to monitor, analyze, and optimize follow-up recommendations made by radiologists, according to the firm. It automatically detects follow-up recommendations using natural language processing technology, and then identifies and highlights overdue recommendations, Montage said.
Montage has also incorporated several new user interface enhancements, new analytic tools, and additional QC and search features in Search and Analytics 3.0. For example, natural language processing improvements and new algorithms have been added to Montage QC to identify critical results, Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) opportunities, and mismatched reports, according to the company. Users can also employ QC Analytics to analyze, filter, and explore data produced by Montage QC.
The vendor has also introduced a sequential search feature that allows for complex queries across multiple imaging encounters. Lastly, Montage has added heft to its longtime Search Analyze analytics application; new capabilities allow users to drill down rapidly into data to gain additional insights, the company said.
