For nearly 80 years, South Jersey Radiology Associates (SJRA) has provided a multitude of imaging services to patients throughout the south Jersey and Philadelphia regions. Today, the organization includes 12 facilities and employs more than 50 radiologists whose daily mission is to deliver the highest quality of care possible to their patients. But that’s not all. Since 2011, SJRA has been able to extend its value even further by not only providing superior care, but also efficiently tracking and measuring its top-of-the-line service.

Up until five years ago, SJRA was forced to complete any
data mining and analytics research solely by manpower—
a process that was inefficient and ultimately not feasible
for the large volume of data that SJRA’s facilities received.
Seeing this manual process as a roadblock to its organizational
growth, SJRA became one of the first non-academic
institutions to implement Nuance PowerScribe 360 and
mPower Clinical Analytics in 2011.
“When we were in the process of implementing mPower
Clinical Analytics, we were really looking for one solution
that could provide us with the ability to access analytics
and mine large amounts of data accurately and efficiently,”
said Dr. William Muhr, diagnostic radiologist at SJRA.
“mPower Clinical Analytics was the only solution on the
market that offered all the functionality we needed in a
complete package. Unlike others, it didn’t require us to
piece together a custom solution. We liked that, saw its
potential and have been using it ever since.”
Due to the low learning curve required to use mPower
Clinical Analytics, SJRA and its radiologists were able to
instantly eliminate the need for manual data mining while
also using the technology to reduce the variability of reports.
For example, today SJRA utilizes mPower Clinical Analytics
to help streamline reports for thyroid nodule findings on
chest CTs, amongst other uses.
