Did you know you can converse with contacts about a specific image set on the PowerShare images tab?

PowerShare offers a convenient in-line commenting feature, which allows physicians and facility administrators to leave notes directly linked to a specific image set.

  • Every comment starts with the identity of the person or facility who posted the comment, followed by the message, and finally the date/time the comment was posted. Comments are sorted in chronological order.
  • Users who have access to a study, either within their own account or in the shared images section, can leave comments. When a comment is added, everyone with access to the study is notified by email (if the notification preference someone added a comment to an image set is selected).
  • Comments are only retained within the system for as long as the study is stored. If studies are archived, their comments are archived as well.
note

NOTE: In-line comments are not visible to patients with shared access to studies.

Did you know the Messages tab contains alerts regarding different action taken?

The PowerShare Messages tab contains alerts regarding different actions taken by you and your contacts on PowerShare. Inbound - Invitation requests, upload notifications, and more can be found in your inbox. Whereas, your outgoing requests and messages sent to contacts can be viewed in your Sent Messages.

note

NOTE: It is recommended to keep the number of unread messages in your inbox to a minimum - as a high number of unread messages may cause delays when logging into the website. Users can use the Mark As Read option to mark saved messages as read or the Purge option to remove older, unneeded messages.

Did you know that you can share reports as well as images on PowerShare?

PowerShare offers integration options for facilities who wish to upload their PowerScribe 360 reports with their images to PowerShare. Nuance makes the integration process very simple by allowing reports to be sent directly from the local PowerScribe 360 server to the same Accelerator Gateway (AGW) workstation used to upload images (no VRNs required!).
