"Leveraging the feedback provided by ACR Select, together with consultation features enabled through this integrated solution creates an invaluable communication channel between healthcare providers to improve the quality of service when it is needed most," said Mike Mardini, CEO of NDSC. "Because it's documented, a value can be placed on the consultation process. In fact, this kind of guided, peer-to-peer sub-specialty consultation model represents a clinically oriented, less intrusive and less expensive alternative to traditional Radiology Benefit Management (RBM) prior authorization, and enables radiologists to take on stewardship a role of the imaging care decision."
Eliminating duplicate imaging exams using Nuance PowerShare Network
To help alleviate the problem of unnecessary imaging exams, Nuance and NDSC have integrated ACR Select with Nuance PowerShare Image Sharing to enable providers and payers to access a much richer longitudinal imaging record for the patient at the time of order. This alerts ordering physicians to similar imaging procedures recently performed and allows them to review these patient medical images, thereby improving the quality of care while simultaneously reducing duplicate exams and unnecessary patient radiation exposure.

Clinical decision support for the highest quality diagnostic interpretation
PowerScribe 360 has also been extended with ACR Assist, a collection of structured information, taxonomies and clinical content, bringing evidence-based guidelines directly to radiologists working within PowerScribe 360 during the interpretation process. This helps structure radiology reports, improving the consistency and completeness of these diagnostic interpretations. This structure is the foundation to creating important outcomes data when linked with order appropriateness data generated by ACR Select.
"By integrating the ACR clinical content with PowerScribe 360, the most trusted solution for radiology reporting, and PowerShare, the nation's largest network for medical image sharing, Nuance and NDSC are tightly connecting the ordering provider and radiologist during the ordering and diagnostic interpretation process, fundamentally enabling new ways for radiology to deliver value-based imaging services as alternative payment models accelerate," said Peter Durlach, senior vice president of healthcare marketing and strategy, Nuance Communications.
