Radiology workflow is unique in healthcare with the added complexity of accession-based transcripts, PACS/RIS integration, speech recognition and addendum processing after electronic signature.  Arrendale understands each of these variables and its effects on typical workflow.  Our radiologist customers have quickly come to prefer TA’s Recorder⁺Pro handmike dictation over telephone or dictate stations because of the seamless integration with major PACS systems such as Agfa, Amicas, Fuji, GE, McKesson, Philips and Siemens.  As the PACS system sends our application all the relevant order and patient demographic data, the radiologist presses one function key and begins dictating, eliminating the dictation system prompts and scanning of the past.

For radiology groups researching electronic signature options, our signature module allows radiologists to listen to the voice file using the media player bar, sort transcripts several ways and to send a note back to transcription when major edits are needed.   TA⁺ Powered by SpeechMagic delivers further efficiencies and is available in a front-end, radiologist-driven or back-end, correctionist-edited mode.

Typical radiology installs include updates to the RIS system on status conditions.   Our HL7 team works with your interface specialists to configure message types and content, based on host systems already in place.  Rounding out our radiology offering is a robust set of management reports, detailing e-signature activity and turnaround time details.
