Manage value-driven payment models with mPower

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.
