ACR Assist will be on display at RSNA 2015
The American College of Radiology (ACR)’s ACR Assist will be demonstrated by healthcare companies such as Cerner, Epic, and Nuance at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2015 Annual Meeting in Chicago.
ACR Assist is a clinical decision framework which helps radiologists create structured reports without disrupting their natural workflow. It was designed to be vendor-neutral, and includes computer-readable versions of various classification and reporting taxonomies.
“ACR Assist brings evidence-based guidelines for recommendations and actionable reporting into clinical practice, providing guidance during interpretation at the time this information is most useful to radiologists,” Keith Dreyer, PhD, chair of the ACR Commission on Informatics, said in a statement. “The technology was developed to meet practices’ changing needs while enhancing patient care quality by integrating key, structured data elements into variable, free-form narrative reports.”
RSNA 2015 runs from Nov. 29 to Dec. 4.
