Did you know you can prevent the PowerMic II from periodically going in and out of record mode?

When the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting user profile option, “Beep on command recognized” is enabled and the PowerMic II DICTATE button is set to “toggle dictation on off”, the microphone will go in and out of record when moving to an auto-text fill-in field that doesn’t include a default value. To prevent the microphone from going in and out of record, you can either add a default value to the auto-text fill-in fields or simply disable the “Beep on command recognized” option.

Perform the following to disable the "Beep on command recognized" option:

  1. Login to the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting dictation client.
  2. On the Menu bar, click Tools > Preferences and the Preferences dialog will appear.
  3. In the left pain, select Dictation.
  4. Preferences dialog box

  5. Disable the Beep on command recognized option by clicking the related box so it appears unchecked.
  6. Click the OK button to save changes and exit Preferences.

Did you know you can prevent the PowerMic II from periodically going out of record mode?

The PowerScribe 360 | Reporting dictation client has a user preference option, "Microphone off idle time", which allows a user to choose the maximum amount of idle time before the microphone will automatically go out of record. When a user has the PowerMic II DICTATE button set to “toggle dictation on off”, the microphone will go into record mode and allow for continuous recording of dictation without the need to maintain pressing the record button. When the system goes into record mode, the system begins counting idle time, i.e., dead air time or silence. Once the amount of idle time meets the value set in the "microphone off idle time" setting, the microphone will automatically exit record mode.

Important

IMPORTANT: The counting of idle time doesn't reset, or start over, when a user begins to dictate after an idle time period; it continues counting idle time for the entire time the microphone remains in record mode. The idle time counter will only reset when the user goes out of record mode.

For example: Dr. Smith configures the "Microphone off idle time" setting to "10 seconds." Dr. Smith opens a study and presses the record button to go into continuous record. Dr. Smith dictates five seconds of content followed by 5 seconds of silence (microphone remains in record mode for both dictation and silence). Dr. Smith continues dictating 5 seconds of content followed by 4 seconds of silence. Dr. Smith dictates 5 additional seconds of content and then he is silent. After 1 second of silence the microphone turns off automatically. The reason why the microphone went out of record mode is because Dr. Smith's idle time during this recording session is now 10 seconds in length, which meets the "microphone off idle time" setting of 10 seconds. Refer to the 'Idle time counter' row in the image below.

Microphone Off example results

Perform the following to disable the "Microphone off idle time" option:

  1. Login to the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting dictation client.
  2. On the Menu bar, click Tools > Preferences and the Preferences dialog will appear.
  3. In the left pain, select Dictation.
  4. Preferences dialog box

  5. Disable the Microphone off idle time option by using the drop-down to select Disabled.
  6. Click the OK button to save changes and exit Preferences.

Did you know which Service Request type to choose when submitting a service request from within iSupport?

When submitting a service request from within Nuance iSupport, you are initially presented with a screen asking you to choose the type of service request you are submitting. The service request types are designed to automatically forward the service request to the appropriate support team. PowerScribe 360 | Reporting, falls under the Diagnostic Solutions service request type, along with Critical Results, Montage, and our legacy products RadWhere and PowerScribe.

Service Request Type

If you are submitting a service request for any of these products, be sure to select Diagnostic Solutions to ensure the Service Request is routed to the appropriate team. Doing so, will eliminate valuable time that is lost while the service request is sitting in a different teams queue.

Did you know the status of the iSupport customer support portal since the upgrade?

As of May 24th, 2016, the Nuance iSupport customer support portal was upgraded to provide users with a new user-interface layout and improved performance. This upgrade of Nuance iSupport has all the same function and features, plus the following added top enhancements:

  • Changed appearance in the iSupport user interface page layout.
  • New Dashboard links and icons in the navigation menu bar.
  • New menu icons of Profile and Sign Out.
  • The Home tab is renamed to Dashboard.

Fixed ImageWhat's Fixed

Nuance is pleased to announce that PowerScribe 360 | Reporting version 2.5.3 and version 3.5.1 are released and includes the following highlighted fixes:

PowerScribe 360 | Reporting V2.5.3 RadPortal Update (5.5.72.15)

  • A Site Administrator with 'View System' rights has ability to view and make modifications within the Procedures tab of the Portal.
  • Correct an issue with an unhandled error (EvaluateException) which occurred when editing definition of a worklist.
  • Corrected an issue where the worklist editor displays a "value not found" error message when adding a Custom Field that's name exists on multiple sites, as the Definition of the worklist. The Definition is a simple expression with the custom field where the custom field has choices associated with it.

PowerScribe 360 | Reporting V3.5.1 RadBridge Update (6.5.28.1)

  • Continuation of fix – On a heavily utilized system, reports that have been put into a Final status and transfer state of Ready will occasionally get put into a transfer state of Not Ready during the RadBridge queuing process. Changes to the logic in handling certain transition states were made to bypass processing reports that are in a Final status and transfer state to Ready until the next scheduled processing time. The output logging information has changed to reflect this logic change. "Report {0} with status {1} appears not tied to its orders and will be skipped.")
  • When an HL7 message contains the IN1 segment where the value IN1-17.1, exceeds 20 characters, the return acknowledgement message will be AE. This is caused by the value exceeding the database table column defined size of 20 characters. The value is now truncated to accommodate the 20 character limit
