BURLINGTON, Mass. and
CHICAGO, Nov. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Radiological
Society of North America's (RSNA)
107th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, Nuance®
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today launched the Nuance
Precision Imaging Network™, an AI-powered cloud platform that
delivers patient-specific data and insights from diagnostic imaging
into existing clinical and administrative workflows across the
healthcare ecosystem. Leveraging the scale of Nuance's PowerScribe
and PowerShare diagnostic imaging solutions, the Nuance Precision
Imaging Network connects imaging stakeholders and facilitates the
use of AI to inform precision diagnostics and therapeutics,
increase physician efficiency, and lower overall healthcare
costs.
The importance of diagnostic imaging is reflected in a study
published by the Journal of the American Medical
Association, which found that more than 80 percent of all
hospital and health system visits included at least one imaging
study. As a result, hospitals and health systems today spend an
estimated $65 billion each year on
diagnostic imaging related to more than 23,000 different
conditions. By enabling the secure and efficient sharing of
AI-enhanced diagnostic imaging information, the Nuance Precision
Imaging Network augments clinical decision making, facilitates
earlier detection and treatment of diseases when the chance for
positive patient outcomes is greater, and enhances interpretation
and workflow efficiencies for a wide array of physicians.
"Radiology and other diagnostic imaging stakeholders are seeking
enterprise-wide platforms that enable us to bridge medical
information silos and expand cloud-based access to imaging data to
improve patient care, physician efficiency, and costs. The Nuance
Precision Imaging Network is a systematic platform that integrates
best-in-class AI-powered diagnostic models, task automation,
clinical decision support, and patient-centered care team
communication within familiar radiology and other clinical
workflows. Using Nuance's trusted cloud-based radiology solutions,
the network helps radiologists and other physicians manage growing
workloads while enabling them to apply the full potential of
diagnostic imaging in patient care," said Dr. Ryan Lee, Chair
of the Department of Radiology at Einstein Healthcare Network.
"Nuance recognizes that almost every patient story starts with a
diagnostic image. The Nuance Precision Imaging Network is the only
nationwide patient-centered diagnostic imaging platform that
seamlessly delivers AI-generated patient information into the full
array of clinical and administrative workflows across provider,
payer, and life science use cases," said Peter Durlach, Chief Strategy Officer, Nuance.
"By leveraging Nuance's unmatched scale in diagnostic imaging built
up over the past 25 years and a robust partner ecosystem, the
Nuance Precision Imaging Network establishes a common cloud-based
framework that enables all stakeholders to apply rapid advances in
imaging AI to improve clinical outcomes, financial performance, and
efficiency across the entire patient journey from screening through
follow-up."
The Nuance Precision Imaging Network maximizes the
effectiveness, efficiency, and value of diagnostic imaging by
delivering meaningful, AI-generated, patient-centered data and
insights to all key imaging stakeholders including:
- Radiologists, who can enhance radiology efficiency and
augment interpretation by automating repetitive and mundane tasks,
receiving AI-powered worklist prioritization, integrated clinical
decision support, and communications tools within existing
workflows through trusted and familiar solutions.
- Healthcare Provider Organizations, who can apply
additional AI-generated insights from diagnostic imaging to support
earlier diagnosis, inform treatment options and planning, and
augment clinical decision-making.
- Health Plans & Self-Insured Employers, who can
improve payer-provider collaboration to address quality and cost
and enhance care coordination using shared clinical data in support
of better patient outcomes.
- Life Science Companies, who can inform the use of
precision therapeutics and companion diagnostics by qualifying
patients eligible for life-enhancing treatment options and clinical
trials more quickly and efficiently across the entire nation.
The Nuance Precision Imaging Network leverages best-in class AI
models from an array of partners and seamlessly integrates with
existing Picture Archival Communication Systems (PACS), Vendor
Neutral Archives (VNA) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems
to maximize the value of existing healthcare IT infrastructure. It
is available for customers to preview at the RSNA 2021 Annual
Meeting November 28 – December 2, 2021. Those interested in learning
more about the Precision Imaging Network should visit booth #3300
