Nuance Communications and The National Decision Support Company are jointly launching a new suite of clinical decision support and collaboration capabilities based on the American College of Radiology's Imaging 3.0 tools.
Nuance and NDSC are combining clinical decision support with radiology reporting and image sharing technology. ACR Imaging 3.0 tools are designed to offer radiologists support for compliance with value-based payment models.
"Because it's documented, a value can be placed on the consultation process. In fact, this kind of guided, peer-to-peer subspecialty consultation model represents a clinically oriented, less intrusive and less expensive alternative to traditional Radiology Benefit Management (RBM) prior authorization, and enables radiologists to take on stewardship a role of the imaging care decision," said Mike Mardini, CEO of NDSC.
