PowerSpeech by Eagle's Landing is more than just speech recognition - it’s conversation processing that yields accurate, complete, meaningful clinical documents, plus robust data that’s ready to share in electronic health records.  PowerSpeech moves beyond simple speech recognition to speech understanding with a proprietary technology that captures and structures words and meaning amid the endless variations of human speech.  PowerSpeech runs in the background as a back-end solution trained by the Medical Language Specialists (MLS’s) at Eagle’s Landing.  It requires physicians to neither change the way they dictate nor train their own engine, which saves time and money for your practice.

 

 

 

 

SPEECH UNDERSTANDING

PowerSpeech understands the entire context of dictation and recognizes the physician’s intent, while adapting to a variety of speaking styles and dictation habits. 

 

Our technology has the flexibility to handle the way people really speak—with varying accents, dialects, styles, and speeds. 

 

This patented approach to speech understanding does more than recognize a few words at a time. It looks for meaning from the entire conversation, and then uses that understanding to create the most accurate, complete, and meaningful healthcare documentation. 

 

Training the Engine 

Our technology learns from experience by monitoring its own performance, and by adapting to edits made by reviewers. This continuous learning improves the accuracy of word selection, data structuring, and meaning capture.  Training is completed by a team of talented Medical Language Specialists (MLS's), re-directing this task from busy physicians to the experts who have the time and knowledge to do this efficiently.

  
MEANINGFUL CLINICAL DOCUMENTS

PowerSpeech has the power to handle structured data and natural language narratives with equal ease. Data is structured to support rich links between clinical documents and electronic health records. That makes it easy to share information across provider and computer system boundaries. 

 

Our technology gleans meaning from spoken words and organizes it automatically into meaningful categories, readying it for use in electronic health record systems and medical reports. 

 

Encoding Data

As PowerSpeech processes dictation, encoding is applied to clinical facts, like medications, dosages, allergies, measurements like blood pressure readings, and much more. Then we structure these facts to make them more accessible and more useful. 

 

Semantic Interoperability

ELTS is committed to healthcare standards and interoperability. Our documents are built on HL7’s Clinical Document Architecture (CDA). The spoken dictation is changed into a draft report, automatically structured and encoded according to the healthcare provider's documentation rules. Documents are generated in a semantically interoperable HL7 CDA format to allow for streamlined report sharing between practitioners and facilities.

  
Accelerates Adoption of EHR

 

Trilogy from ELTS helps accelerate the adoption of the electronic health record (EHR) by cost effectively bridging the gap between free-form dictation and structured data entry.


The realty is that if a medical report is pure-text, it's meaningless in terms of usability within the EHR. Without standardization, information cannot be shared. Together, healthcare providers become more efficient and patient care is improved - paying off the ultimate EHR vision.

  
PowerSpeech Technology is Unique

PowerSpeech technology is unique in that it focuses more on “speech understanding” than traditional “speech recognition,” acknowledging that word accuracy and verbatim text does not solve the problem. It is through actually learning and understanding the meaning and intent from dictation that efficient, accurate and complete medical documents are produced – exactly what the PowerSpeech technology provides. PowerSpeech is trained through corrections in editing to improve recognition and results in continuous improvements, all the while adapting to and understanding what the speaker actually intends. Its ability to learn across both speakers and specialties supports the Eagle's Landing approach to enhance quality through narrow work pools and the focus on teaming MLS's with individual medical specialties. 

 

Trilogy's PowerSpeech by Eagle's Landing improves your bottom line because it improves the overall documentation cycle.  

 

How do we do this?

 

1.  PowerSpeech improves adoption of technology through efficient and easy-to-use protocols.

 

≈  Dictation becomes faster and easier because it requires no change in the way doctors dictate. 

≈  The system promotes use of normals and macros, which makes dictation even quicker.

≈  The physician does not need to become a skilled typist or to be proficient at data entry

 

  

2.  PowerSpeech protects the quality of your documentation.

 

≈  Quality is improved because the engine learns from reviewer edits, improving accuracy over time.  Accurate and complete documents are rendered across all speaker types and medical specialties, improving the quality of your documentation.

≈  PowerSpeech captures the accuracy of narrative charting rather than imposing "pick list" limitations that compromise quality.

≈  The Medical Language Specialist (MLS) is engaged to ensure accurate training of the engine in the initial setup.  On-going editing is provided, or physicians can assume the task of editing their own draft reports.

 

 

3.  Drives physician utilization of EHR 

 

≈  Reports import into the EMR for decision support.

≈  Reporting and sharing is enhanced due to XML-tagged free text documentation.

≈  Transport of information between the EHR and Health Information Management applications is more easily facilitated due to encoded text versus “flat documents.” 

≈  By creating structured and encoded information from dictation, AnyModal CDS enables the population of EHR systems without any change to existing dictation workflow. 

≈  Encoded documents enable the efficient access and retrieval of information among healthcare practitioners.

 

 

4.  Frees physician to focus on caring for patients 

 

≈  Physicians already face significant time pressure.  PowerSpeech from Eagle's Landing allows them to continue using the most efficient healthcare documentation method—dictation.

≈  More accurate transcription saves physician review time.

≈  Single dictation produces multiple outputs—EHR, discharge summary, referring physician letter.

≈  Eliminates the tedious and time-consuming data entry task.

≈  Provides the vital information required for submission of claims for reimbursement.

 

 

5.  Eliminates steps for your front office

 

≈  Accurate documents removes need for clinic edits.

≈  Interfacing eliminates the need for your staff to populate ADT fields or copy/paste reports into repository.

≈  Single dictation can generate multiple reports including chart note, referring MD letter, x-ray reports, etc., so clinic staff doesn't have to do this.

≈  Automated uploads remove need for clinic staff to manually "retrieve" reports from the vendor.
