Nuance PowerScribe gets installed in 10 Tennessee facilities

Nuance Communications’ PowerScribe for Radiology has been rolled out at 10 of the 15 hospital facilities that form the Baptist Memorial Health Care (BMHC) network.

BMHC’s five remaining sites plan to rollout PowerScribe for Radiology in the coming months. For BMHC in Memphis, Tenn., the goal for adoption of PowerScribe for Radiology was to implement a real-time speech recognition solution with self-editing capabilities, according to Burlington, Mass.-based company.

In addition to PowerScribe for Radiology’s speech recognition with self-editing capabilities, Nuance said that PowerScribe also supports speech recognition with delegated editing, in which radiologists do not edit their own reports; instead, their speech-recognized draft report is forwarded to a transcriptionist/editor for correcting and formatting.
