Philips Moving into the mainstream

A few years ago radiology departments were among the early adopters of speech recognition. Today, the technology has moved into the mainstream. Healthcare organizations realize region-wide projects involving thousands of users. To cater to the complex requirements of the healthcare sector, industrial grade speech recognition is now also available in a Citrix environment: SpeechMagic is the only speech recognition-based document creation technology to receive the Citrix Ready status. But what’s next on the agenda? Philips is currently presenting a prototype combining speech recognition with medical codes and standardized terminology, thus improving accuracy and medical information consistency.

Crescendo Front-end or back-end speech recognition:
who said you had to choose?

Healthcare facilities: leave your document creation options open with MD Center-XL powered by SpeechMagic. Both back-end and front-end speech recognition modes are included with every license, allowing physicians to switch from one mode to the other at any time. In front-end mode, physicians can oversee the entire documentation process from dictation and correction to electronic signature and final report distribution. This newfound flexibility ensures real-time processing for urgent cases and allows you to compensate for transcription resource shortage (week-ends, night shifts) or periodic peaks of activity. Medical reporting has never been so fast and tailored to your unique work environment.

Voice Technologies Distributed document management balances workloads

Distributed document management provides real advantages, with workloads being shared across multiple hospital locations, resulting in better use of resources, and, particularly in the case of remote clinics, significantly reduced elapsed time between report recording and preparation.

Voice Technologies backed its innovative document management solutions with speech recognition, to make a real difference to people's lives: secretaries spend less time looking for files; clinicians wait less time for reports; and patients get results sooner. With strategic relationships built on multi-disciplinary knowledge sharing and outstanding support, the company demonstrated this to great effect in a number of Trusts.
