Powerful speech understanding technology opens new vistas in workflow and productivity. Precision Reporting with Advanced Speech Understanding propels your department to a completely new territory in Radiology workflow. Advanced Speech Understanding technology interprets dialect and natural speaking patterns. There s no need to adjust how you speak to accommodate the speech engine. Precision Reporting encodes data as needed, so you can be assured of patient privacy and record security. Precision Reporting readily transforms input from dictation into usable reports for clear communication to referring clinicians and anyone involved with the patient s clinical or administrative management. 4
GE Healthcare has partnered with M*Modal, an industry leader in speech understanding technology, to create one of the industry s most powerful solutions for Radiology reporting. M*Modal technology was originally developed to transcribe and understand human-to-human conversations spoken with varied accents, dialects, speed and phraseology. Reconfigured for Radiology reporting applications, M*Modal s revolutionary technology comprehends the meaning of naturally spoken phrases in the context of the entire exam, and converts this understanding into more accurate, more complete and actionable clinical reports appropriate for precise reporting and documentation. Advanced Speech Understanding revolutionizes your Radiology reporting. This Advanced Speech Understanding technology allows the Radiologist to describe findings in a natural, conversational manner, much like speaking to a colleague. The technology understands what physicians are communicating and then translates their words into a document. That means the technology adapts to the speaker; physicians don t have to change their speaking habits, slow down their speech, add punctuation or worry about dialects or accents. 5

Inside Precision Reporting Workflow drives the report. The report drives everything else. That s why we ve built Precision Reporting intuitively, for the Radiologist s workflow. It s streamlined, functional technology designed for new levels of accuracy and consistency in reporting. 1 Exam Worklist-Driven Workflow The Radiologist quickly accesses exams via the Centricity RIS-IC and Centricity PACS exam worklist and automatically launches Centricity Precision Reporting. Simply select an exam or start into the work queue. The sysrem contains prior reports and relevant medical and demographic data, placing the most important information at the Radiologist s fingertips. 2 Radiologist Prepares to Create a Report Based on exam type, the Radiologist quickly and easily selects the right report template; then Precision Reporting creates document models. This helps to ensure the report template is both consistent and based on data in the workflow module. The Radiologist can pull all relevant information into the report without dictating it. Precision Reporting delivers a true one-click normal report by creating standardized templates for many exam types. Advanced Speech Understanding 4 Advanced Speech Understanding Precision Reporting transforms the dictation recording to electronic text while at the same time identifying meanings based on extensive knowledge of medical terminology and phrases. The system adds metadata tags to the content, giving meaning to the information, not just turning voice into text. 5 Meaningful Clinical Document Precision Reporting presents the report to the Radiologist with words to be verified and the software s confidence level in their accuracy. The display puts the flagged content and the transcript side by side for faster, simpler report reviewing. 6 Continuous Learning Precision Reporting builds accuracy by continuously learning as it is used, gathering data from each different speaker. By taking into account any changes made to the report, the system continually improves its understanding of voice, language, intent and dictation habits. Simultaneous speech recognition and natural language understanding build structured and encoded content automatically.
