David Hirschorn, MD, Director of Radiology Informatics at Staten Island University Hospital, part of the North Shore LIJ Health System, anticipates the significant benefits will come from analyzing reports from over 12 inpatient and several outpatient imaging facilities in the NSLIJ health system. "Our consolidation of historical and current radiology reports onto a single Nuance PS360|Reporting solution will enable us to use Montage Search and Analytics to leverage this vast wealth of information for the benefit of our patients. We plan to use it for clinical quality measures, medical research, and business analytics purposes. Those benefits that Montage helps us attain are amplified as we encompass data from the entire NSLIJ health system."
Montage Search and Analytics incorporates the intelligence, flexibility and simplicity of search and natural language processing to speed access to the rich clinical and operational understanding encased in the radiologist reports. Radiology leaders need to quickly obtain detailed, actionable insights, and eliminate the tedious process of scouring paper files or waiting for customized reports. Academic organizations also appreciate how Montage Search and Analytics™ speeds identification of research populations and eliminates the need for dedicated teaching files.
Michael Ryan R.T.(R.), CIIP, Informatics Coordinator, VISN23 Imaging Service Line is looking forward to helping his organization understand the factors impacting productivity across all six organizations in VISN23. "The search-driven interface really impressed us as an easy to use yet very powerful means to analyze the vast amount of information managed by our VistA systems."
"We know the radiology community is facing numerous challenges, and must adopt tools that facilitate clinical quality and business performance improvements. Healthcare payers' increasing focus on clinical quality, and efforts by radiology to be more consultative, are driving adoption of our solution," says William Boonn, MD, President, Montage Healthcare Solutions. "As radiologists get comfortable acknowledging the benefits of clinical decision support, and access to historical clinical results at the point of care, integrating findings from other clinical domains will further enhance the value Radiology can offer the enterprise."
