BURLINGTON, Mass. Sept. 13, 2019 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today launched a portfolio of pediatric-specialized solutions that simplify and streamline how pediatricians capture and communicate patient stories, access real-time clinical intelligence to improve care, and use metrics to assess and document care quality.
Pediatricians and their care teams need the right technology that helps them to take the best care of children. Very different from an adult-focused health system, the technology used in pediatric care settings must align with the pediatric models of governance and oversight and financial structure. “Facilities who take care of children have a different reimbursement methodology, case mix index, classification systems, and relative pain points that our pediatric solutions can efficiently and accurately address in a meaningful way,” said Michael Clark, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Provider Solutions, Nuance.
Included in the pediatric-specialized portfolio are:
• Dragon Medical One: allows physicians and care teams to dictate pediatric notes directly into the electronic health record.
• Dragon Medical Advisor with Pediatric Guidance: offers in-workflow advice to improve documentation accuracy and quality.
• Nuance Surgical CAPD: provides surgeons with pediatric documentation guidance to meet regulatory and billing requirements.
• CDE One: delivers CDI workflow management and pediatric strategies for documentation improvement.
• Nuance Performance Analytics: helps organizations accurately track and measure improved pediatric quality scores, including Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDI).
“Nuance understands diverse care settings and delivers solutions that help physicians, clinicians, and surgeons serve the unique needs of their patient populations,” said Dr. Baber Ghauri.
Sharon Cooper, Manager Clinical Documentation/Appeals, Owensboro Health said, “Nuance solutions help the CDS team to identify patient encounters with the greatest opportunity for clinical documentation improvement – increasing our productivity and delivering desired outcomes to achieve our goals.”
