OhioHealth Project Recognized by CIO Magazine in 2009 List of 100 Top IT Initiatives |

June 5, 2009

CIO Magazine has announced its 2009 CIO 100 Award winners and among those projects honored for creating new business value by innovating with technology, is a project from OhioHealth. OhioHealth was recognized for a virtualization project that implemented voice-recognition software in order to eliminate the need for manual transcription of radiology reports. The system learns radiologists’ voices, constantly improving transcription accuracy to reduce edits. The system allows patient results to be reported in minutes rather than days which has led to improved patient care and saved the healthcare system $434,378 in transcription costs in 2008. Congratulations to the IT team at OhioHealth.
