AAI offers dictation integration with major PACS systems and the Recorder⁺Pro PC-based dictation application in order to streamline the dictation process for radiologists, improve report turnaround time and advance patient care. Recorder⁺Pro uses a Philips handmike and integrates with the PACS workstation to create an XML auto-transfer of patient and order data as each new image appears on the PACS monitor. XML technology delivers rapid response time between PACS and Recorder⁺Pro dictation. With our two-way integration, radiologist efficiencies include:

• Each new study in PACS initiates Recorder+Pro and the automatic XML transfer of data
• Radiologists eliminate manually dialing into a traditional dictation system
• Radiologists eliminate verbal entry of patient data in response to system prompts
• Radiologists eliminate bar code scanning or manual entry of order number
• Patient and study data that is typically populated in Recorder+Pro includes:
  • Patient Name
  • Date of Birth
  • Work Type
  • Order (Accession) Number
  • Exam Date
  • Order Description
• Radiologists control dictation using handmike features for:
  • Rewind, Fast Forward, Pause, Stop, Play, Insert, Overwrite and Suspend
• Recorder+Pro system links up to 10 additional orders for panel studies
• Errors are substantially reduced due to automatic patient and order selection
• Likelihood of duplicate dictations on the same image is reduced
• TA+ Powered by SpeechMagic Speech Recognition (ASR) is an option with Recorder+Pro PACS integration in either a back-end or front-end mode
• Two-way integration includes real-time notification to PACS that dictation is completed
• Transcribed reports can be uploaded via HL7 to PACS or RIS repositories including:
• Amicas, Agfa, Fuji, GE Centricity, McKesson HMI, Philips, Siemens and Stentor
