CHRISTUS Health Replaces Prior Competitive
Systems with Suite of Nuance Documentation Solutions to Improve
Quality, Financial Performance and Enhance Physician Productivity
and Satisfaction
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced it
has been selected by CHRISTUS Health, one of the 10 largest
Catholic not-for-profit health systems in the U.S., for an
enterprise-wide physician documentation improvement initiative to
improve how physicians work with inpatient and ambulatory EHRs with
the additional benefit of improving financial performance. This
broad implementation replaces multiple competitive systems, adding
Nuance’s full suite of clinical documentation solutions including
Nuance’s back-end medical transcription, as well as Nuance
PowerScribe® 360, and Nuance Dragon® Medical for real-time
speech-enabled physician documentation. This multi-site deployment
will arm physicians practicing at CHRISTUS Health facilities across
care settings with a full array of clinical documentation solutions
to streamline the process of rapidly entering complete and
compliant patient information while using MEDITECH, athenahealth
and various radiology systems.
“We chose Nuance because of the superior performance of its
solutions, strong track record of innovation, and the company’s
willingness to create a business model of shared risks where the
company is rewarded based on our success with the technology.
Beyond speech recognition, Nuance’s advanced natural language
understanding and computer-assisted physician documentation
technologies, and unique integrations with IMO, MEDITECH and
athenahealth are critical to our physicians’ workflow efficiency
and were an important part of our rationale for selecting Nuance,”
says S. Luke Webster, MD, vice president and CMIO, CHRISTUS
Health.
“As we have seen in numerous other client sites where we have
displaced competitors’ systems, we’ve already observed dramatic
improvements in CHRISTUS’s key performance indicators, such as a
38% reduction in average report turnaround time across radiology
and all other clinical areas, as well as a significant reduction in
operating costs using our solutions,” said Peter Durlach, senior
vice president of marketing and product strategy, Nuance. “Clients
such as CHRISTUS Health have come to rely on our clinical
documentation improvement solutions to drive superior clinical and
financial outcomes for the organization while simultaneously
enabling their clinicians to improve their efficiency and
satisfaction – freeing them to focus on their true purpose: caring
for patients.”
While not part of the initial deployment, Nuance’s global client
base and success in Latin America was also important to CHRISTUS’
partner selection because the Catholic healthcare organization has
more than 60 hospitals and long-term care facilities across many
states with large multi-lingual populations, as well as sites in
Latin America.
