Report Comparison

When multiple users edit a report in PowerScribe One, Report Comparison lets you review changes across report versions. You can compare two versions side by side or in a single view to identify added or removed text, including changes in addendums. This helps you track edits, understand revision history, and ensure report accuracy before finalizing.

Note

This feature also supports learning and education by making report changes transparent. Residents can review edits made by attending physicians prior to signing, helping them understand reporting refinements, clinical reasoning, and best practices through real‑world examples.

Access Report Comparison

From the Explorer

  1. Search and filter reports to display results in the results grid.

The Report Comparison screen opens.

Use the Report Comparison screen

From the right pane, you can:

  • Select any two versions of a report to compare.
  • Select Addendum to compare edited versions of addendums.

Comparison views

  • Side by Side: Displays the most recently edited version on the left and the earlier version on the right.
  • Collectively: Displays both versions in a single pane.

In both views, highlights show changes:

  • Green indicates text that was added.
  • Red indicates text that was removed.

Text comparison is case‑sensitive, so changes in letter case are also shown as edits.
