The eScription Platform from Nuance Reduces Transcription Cost, Improves Report Turnaround, and Transforms Dictation into EMR-Ready Data, All Without Forcing Physicians to Change
The May 2008 acquisition of eScription by Nuance Communications brought two formidable companies together, both with a strong healthcare presence. The eScription platform, named Best in KLAS in December 2008 for the fifth year in a row, provides computer aided medical transcription using background speech recognition. Nuance is the world’s leading speech solution vendor. The eScription solution turns clinician dictations into formatted draft documents, requiring only a quick transcriptionist review and edit. The product has been proven to work in large enterprise deployments, reducing transcription costs, turning dictation into EMR-ready data, and improving report turnaround time to ensure efficient patient management. We spoke with John Shagoury, co-president of Nuance’s healthcare division.
MED3OOO’s Acquisition of InteGreat and its Browser-Based, Easy-to-Learn EHR Expands Its Portfolio of Physician Practice Technology and Operational Offerings that Improve Revenue, Efficiency, and Patient Care
MED3OOO’s June 2007 acquisition of InteGreat brought together the Pittsburgh-based performance-oriented management and technology company and Scottsdale, AZ-based InteGreat, which offers what it calls healthcare’s easiest to use EHR. The acquisition gives MED3OOO the advantage of being able to offer a state-of-the-art EHR package managed under its own development and implementation agenda. That’s another way the company can help its customers gain competitive advantage and improve their performance. We spoke to Steve Ura, chief technology officer and senior vice president of MED3OOO.
