PACSGEAR Introduces ModLink at HIMSS 2013

Software Integrates Structured Report Values Into Voice Recognition Reports

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PACSGEAR, the leading provider of imaging connectivity for electronic health records, today announced ModLink™, a software solution that transfers structured report measurements directly into PowerScribe 360 | Reporting from Nuance. Using DICOM Structured Report (SR), HL7, or XML measurement data from modalities such as ultrasound, DEXA, or CT, ModLink auto-populates the report with these values, saving valuable Radiologist dictation time and reducing potential human error. ModLink supports multiple modalities, vendors, and reports, as well as advanced data types such as CT dose/contrast and injector system measurements.

“By using ModLink to integrate ultrasound measurements into PowerScribe 360 | Reporting structured report templates, I have found a significant improvement in reporting efficiency and accuracy. I look forward to integrating ModLink throughout our entire practice”

“To include measurement data in reports, radiologists look at one screen and dictate values into another. Since some reports contain more than 20 measurements, we had to find a better way,” said Eli Rapaich, PACSGEAR’s CEO. “ModLink automatically populates report templates, allowing radiologists to avoid time-consuming dictation and costly reporting errors,” Rapaich said.

“By using ModLink to integrate ultrasound measurements into PowerScribe 360 | Reporting structured report templates, I have found a significant improvement in reporting efficiency and accuracy. I look forward to integrating ModLink throughout our entire practice,” stated David Miller, MD, Radiologist at South Jersey Radiology Associates.

ModLink will be featured in PACSGEAR’s booth #2262 at the HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition (HIMSS 2013) in New Orleans from March 4 – 6, 2013.
