ASR vs standalone
reporting platforms.
Many reporting platforms now add AI, yet still run as a separate system next to your RIS, PACS and billing. ASR (automatic speech recognition) brings the report, the order, the images and the claim onto one record.
The choice
Upgrade the dictation,
or join the workflow.
Both are a move. One keeps reporting as a separate system next to your RIS, PACS and billing. The other makes it part of the same platform.
| Capability | Standalone reporting platforms | ASR on CIVIE |
|---|---|---|
| Radiology speech recognition, templates and macros | Yes | Yes |
| Works with your existing RIS and PACS over HL7 | Typically, yes | Yes |
| AI impression draft | Often available, sometimes as an add-on | Yes, from CIVIE's impression model |
| Part of one imaging platform | Typically a separate system that connects to your RIS, PACS and billing | One record with CIVIE RIS, PACS, worklist and billing |
| Coding from the signed report | Typically sent on to a separate coding and billing system | CIVIE RCM codes from the signed report |
| Follow-up recommendations to a booked exam | Varies; tracking recommendations to closure is often a separate add-on | Drafted as orders in CIVIE RIS for physician sign-off, then booked, authorized and billed |
| Worklist and reading assignment | Varies; often a separate product | CIVIE Universal Worklist, SLA-driven, on the same record |
| Reading capacity when you're short | Typically not part of the product | RadPod, CIVIE's reading service, on the same platform |
Comparisons describe categories of systems in general terms, not any specific vendor or product. Capabilities vary by product and configuration, so confirm details with each vendor.
What ASR adds
The report, joined
to everything else.
Priors summarized for the order
CIVIE AI picks the relevant priors and summarizes their key findings before you start.
Measurements pre-filled
Measurements and technologist notes land in template fields, with units converted.
Coded from the signed report
CIVIE RCM starts coding the moment you sign, with no batch file and no second copy.

FAQ
Comparison
questions.
ASR covers dictation, templates, macros, voice commands and AI-drafted impressions, so compare it feature by feature in a demo. Beyond that, ASR adds what comes from sharing a record with RIS, PACS and billing: priors and measurements prepared, follow-ups drafted as orders and coding from the signed report.
