Improve Surgical Documentation Quality and Reimbursement

With Vincari Surgical Computer-Assisted Physician Documentation (CAPD):

  • Surgeon satisfaction increases
  • CDI and coding queries virtually disappear
  • Pro-fee billing and coding are streamlined
  • Surgeons realize more appropriate quality scores and reimbursement

At the point of care with in-workflow CAPD, save time by creating a specific and ICD-10 compliant report in less than 90 seconds that reduces disruptive retrospective queries, eliminates redundant dictation, and automatically sends a suggested charge report to the surgeon's office.

Watch this VIDEO to learn more.

Special reminder for Java users

As of our November release, our recommended version of Java for the File Upload Tool and Modality Worklist Reconcile applets is Java version 8 update 191. While our Java applets may run on other versions of Java, PowerShare only guarantees optimal performance when running Java version 8 update 191.


Best practice reminder

We recommend auditing your PowerShare users list on a weekly basis. Be sure to disable any users that should no longer have access (terminated employees, employees no longer needing access to PowerShare).


Have ideas?

We would love to hear your ideas! If you have information about how we could make PowerShare better, please contact Sander Kloet at sander.kloet@nuance.com.

This month's eTips

eTip 1

Did you know you can modify study demographics when uploading images through the AGW?

In certain workflows, clients will want to prepend, append, or overwrite study demographics such as accession number, MRN, or institution name. These DICOM morphs can be added under Advanced Settings in your Accelerator.

Follow the steps below:

  1. Under Admin, Click Manage Accelerators.
  2. Click the Blue Pencil for your Accelerator.
  3. Under the selected Sending Channel, click Show Advanced Settings
  4. Under Study Edits, the following changes are allowed: Overwrite, Prepend, and Append to the following fields:
    • Accession Number
    • MRN
    • Institution Name
    • Patient Comments
    • Referring Physician
    • Study Comments
    • Study Description
  5. Click the + symbol when the updates are complete.

Any future study, uploading via the updated Accelerator channel, will be edited before it hits your PowerShare account.

eTip 2

Did you know you can autoshare studies routed through a particular sending channel to specific contacts?

Do you have images in PACS that when uploaded to PowerShare need to be shared to a specific site, physician, or group? It is possible to setup additional Accelerator sending channels that append a string on which you can base your autoshare rules for a site.

To setup study edit (append):

  1. Under Admin, click Manage Accelerators.
  2. Click the Blue Pencil for your Accelerator.
  3. Under the selected Sending Channel, click Show Advanced Settings
  4. Under Study Edits, the following changes are allowed: Overwrite, Prepend, and Append to the following fields: 
    • Accession Number 
    • MRN
    • Institution Name
    • Patient Comments
    • Referring Physician
    • Study Comments
    • Study Description
  5. Select Append, Intitution Name, and enter [NUAN].
  6. Click the + symbol when the updates are complete.
  7. After your study edit rules have been set, click the Contacts tab.
  8. Find the contact (facility, physician, or group) for which you would like to autoshare studies, then select the blue drop down, and click Create AutoShare Rule.
  9. Under subject, select the criteria you used for your study edit. The example below uses InstitutionName:
    • Prepend InstitutionName with [NUAN]:
      1. For subject, you would put InstitutionName
      2. Comparator 'contains'
      3. Criteria [NUAN]
  10. Click Submit.

All future studies uploaded through that sending channel will autoshare with the contact.

eTip 3

Did you know you can now add reports to PowerShare studies using HL7?

PowerShare has added a new feature to your already installed Accelerator Gateway that allows reports to be attached to studies uploaded to PowerShare from your current HIS/RIS system using the HL7 protocol without the need for VPN. The HL7 channel can be configured and live within minutes.

Contact PowerShare support to ensure your billing plan has access to this feature and become report enabled

eTip 4

Did you know you can use PowerShare to see if a study has been shared by using the View Share History action item. This will show when and to whom a study was shared.

To view share history follow these steps:
