NOTE: Clinical Guidance is a purchasable feature. Contact your Nuance sales representative for more information. |
Clinical Guidance (an application enabled through the PowerShare license token) allows providers to access clinical guidelines that cover the finding, or findings, that they document in their report. This gives them the opportunity to review the guideline and to insert report text based upon established best practices, including Findings, Impression, and Recommendations.
Clinical Guidance guidelines are available for download from the Nuance PowerShare Network. To view and download the guidelines, click Setup > System > Clinical Guidance. (See example illustration below.)
The following Actions are available (when you click the Actions link) for each guidance item. Note that not all the clinical guidance guidelines will have all of these items:
Update: Allows you to download the guideline from the PowerShare Network.
Versions: Allows you to select a different version of the guidance guideline (if other versions are available).
Repair: Allows you to re-download a guideline that has become corrupted or unavailable.
Deactivate (Activate): Allows you to deactivate a guideline so that is no longer available to users, or to activate a new guideline.
More Info: Opens the corresponding white paper (in pdf format) from the ACR Incidental Findings Committee.
In addition, the View Guidance Details link (near the top of the dialog box) allows you to view the Release Notes, as well as the various ACR Incidental Findings Committee white papers for the guidelines by clicking View Rule Logic.
You must configure two URLs to allow Clinical Guidance to communicate between PowerScribe 360 | Reporting and PowerShare Network:
Select Setup > System > Configuration > Other Services and populate the PowerShare CG Service URL and the PowerShare CG Web URL. (See example below.)
Clinical guidance has one preference, located on the Report Editing tab in system preferences:
Enable clinical guidance alerts: This is an account-level preference that can be set for individual accounts. In addition, this can be turned on or off from within the client application by the provider. Default value is True.
