Report Editor screen elements

The Report Editor in PowerScribe One is the primary workspace for dictating and editing reports. Its intuitive interface is designed to streamline the reporting workflow. This section describes the key components of the Report Editor screen.

Navigation tools

The menus at the top of the Report Editor provide access to reporting, formatting, and workflow tools.

File menu

Select the File tab to access options such as Save, Print, and Always on Top. The Always on Top feature keeps the PowerScribe One application visible above other applications on the selected monitor.

To return to the previous tab, select the Back button.

Home tab

The Home tab provides quick access to report action buttons and the formatting ribbon.

• Report action buttons

Use the report action buttons to Draft, Correct, Prelim, Close, Discard, or Sign a report. Based on your workflow, you can Add/Remove buttons.

• Formatting ribbon

The formatting ribbon provides access to common editing and formatting tools to help you create clear, structured, and professional-quality reports. You can also Add/Remove buttons from the ribbon.

Insert tab

The Insert tab provides options to insert codes and contributors.

• Diagnosis Codes allows you to search for and insert ICD-10 codes. These codes flow to downstream analytics systems after the final report is transmitted.
• Contributor opens the Contributor dialog box, where you can identify additional radiologists who contributed to the report, excluding the Attending or Consultant and Resident or Registrar.

Tools tab

The Tools tab provides access to quality and productivity features that enhance the reporting workflow.

• Clinical Guidance provides real-time, interactive recommendation guidelines related to specific findings. For more information, see Clinical Guidance.
• The AI Findings feature integrates artificial intelligence workflow for report creation using selected algorithms through Precision Imaging Network (PIN). When AI findings are available, an alert appears. AI results are displayed alongside AI-annotated images.
• Follow-up Recommendations identifies and extracts Follow-up Recommendations from the dictated report. Recommendations can be generated manually or automatically at signoff. For more information, see Follow-up Recommendations.
• Ambient Mode allows you to dictate freely while focusing on the study. Dictation is applied to a structured report format.
• Smart Search provides access to relevant radiology reference websites. For more information, see Smart Search.
• Actionable Findings is a third-party plug-in that integrates with PowerScribe One and supports closed-loop electronic communication for critical findings.

Review tab

The Review tab helps you collaborate, proofread, and manage report changes.

• Spelling performs an on-demand spellcheck.
• Find/Replace searches for specific words or phrases and replaces them to improve editing efficiency.
• Set Overreader assigns the report to another Attending for final validation.
• Change Attending allows a Resident to change the designated Attending.
• Report Comparison lets you view and compare saved report versions and contributions from different users. For more information, see Report Comparison.

AutoText tab

The AutoText tab opens the AutoText Manager, where you can manage personal AutoText entries. Available actions include Create, Edit, Clone, and Delete. For more information, see AutoText Management.

Using the left navigation pane

The left navigation pane, also referred to as the Navigator, contains tools that support report navigation and surfacing important report information. When undocked, it becomes the Heads-Up Display.

Navigator components

• Audio Player controls dictated audio playback, including volume and playback speed.

• Roles displays the names of the Attending and/or Resident who dictated the report.

• Contributors lists contributors associated with the report.

  Note

  Overread workflows, report reassignment, and manual contributor insertion add contributors to the report.

• Fields displays fill-in fields from AutoText used in the report. A blue indicator shows the active field during dictation.

• Custom Fields displays values organized by accession number. If no custom fields are associated with the report, nothing appears. You can select the values to populate the Custom Field dialog box.

• Alerts displays notifications for Clinical Guidance, Consistency, Follow-up, and Non-Compliant fields when enabled. Selecting an alert opens the Smart Assist panel.

Using the right pane

The right pane includes Smart Assist and Procedure Data.

Smart Assist

Smart Assist tracks quality considerations proposed by PowerScribe One based on discrepancies flagged by Quality Reporting Tools, clinical findings, AI results, and order data. For more information, see Using Smart Assist.

• Non-Compliant Field Warning alerts you to required compliance elements that must be addressed to support safety and quality management.
• Clinical Guidance provides real-time recommendations related to report findings. For more information, see Clinical Guidance.
• Follow-up Recommendations extracts and presents follow-up exam recommendations dictated or generated by AI Findings or Clinical Guidance. For more information, see Follow-up Recommendations.
• Quality Check identifies common report consistency errors and presents them as alerts and Smart Assist considerations. For more information, see Quality Check.

Procedure Data

Procedure Data captures exam-specific details from the imaging order and makes them available in the report.

• Order Association allows multiple accession numbers or related studies to be linked. For more information, see Order Association.
• Add Custom Field provides access to custom fields created by administrators in the PowerScribe One Administrator Portal. Custom fields are used to capture data such as dosage, measurements, and AI findings. For more information, see Add a Custom Field.
• Copy/Paste allows you to copy patient, exam, and visit data from Procedure Data into the report. For more information, see Copy or Paste from Procedure Data.

Using the bottom pane

The bottom pane provides access to AutoText, Prior Reports, and Notes to support a consistent and informed reporting experience.

AutoText

Use the AutoText tab to access templates and macros. You can search, filter, and preview AutoText entries. Select an AutoText to preview its content and choose to replace existing text or insert it into the report. You can copy AutoText content from the preview using right-click copy and paste. To edit or clone an AutoText, select the ellipsis. For more information, see Using AutoText.

Prior Reports

The Prior Reports section lets you view and sort previous reports for the same patient. The selected report appears in the preview pane. Selecting Relevant highlights reports that are relevant to the current dictation.

To insert a prior report, place the cursor in the preview pane, right-click within the prior report text, and select Add Report Copy.

• No Change Report inserts the body of the prior report along with a statement indicating no change.
• No Change Statement inserts only the no-change statement at the bottom of the report.

For more information, see Review Prior Reports.

Notes

Notes can be created for the current report or the patient record. Notes remain within PowerScribe One and are not transmitted to third-party systems.

By default, notes are associated only with the current report. Select Add to Patient Record to associate a note with all reports for the patient. Notes can be created, viewed, edited, or deleted by the user who created them.
