Nuance to partner with FUJIFILM

Nuance and FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A. are teaming up to develop products that can efficiently assist radiologists in their task of creating reports, according to Nuance.

With this agreement, the companies are hoping to make it even easier for radiologists who use the FUJIFILM Synapse system - a medical imaging and information management system - to input data at faster speeds through dictation. The company explains that the collaboration can turn three steps - speech-enabled reporting, dictation, and data analysis - into one.

Not only will it make radiologists' job easier, patients can also benefit from a more organized approach to data delivery. "As a result of Fujifilm's relationship with Nuance, our customers can expect a more streamlined reporting process, expanded product capabilities, and the ability to enhance the patient care they deliver," explains Jim Morganm VP of Medical Informatics for FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A.

Integrating the Nuance system into healthcare organization systems can definitely increase the efficiency and quality in reporting patient data. In fact, Janet Dillione, Executive Vice President for Nuance Healthcare, adds that the Nuance software is now already being used by more than 33 percent of all radiologists in the country.
