Compare & Switch
Moving off
legacy dictation.
A step-by-step path from your current dictation system to ASR (automatic speech recognition), with a parallel run before you switch, and the option to move RIS, PACS and billing onto the same record in one go.
The migration path
Five steps,
no surprises.
Every migration follows the same path. How long each step takes depends on your sites and how much moves at once, and is agreed in the assessment.

Illustrative
Assess
We inventory your sites, radiologists, templates, macros, voice commands and every interface your current system touches today, and agree the scope and timeline with you.
Connect
ASR is connected to your RIS, PACS and EHR over HL7 and DICOM: orders in, reports out, priors and measurements available to the reporting screen.
Convert templates and macros
We export your templates and macros from your current system and convert them for ASR, without radiologist involvement. Once they're imported, your radiologists review and approve them.
Run in parallel
Radiologists train and read in ASR alongside your current system, site by site or modality by modality, until reports and distribution are verified end to end.
Go live
Switch over with CIVIE support on hand, confirm every referrer receives reports in the new format, and retire the old interfaces.
Consolidate while you move
Replace the dictation.
Or the whole stack.
You're moving templates, retraining radiologists and re-pointing interfaces anyway. Doing it once, for reporting, PACS, worklist, RIS and billing together, means one migration instead of several.
On one CIVIE platform
- Reporting and dictationRadiology speech recognition, templates and AI-drafted impressions
- PACS and viewerCloud image management, priors and a universal worklist
- Universal WorklistEvery study from every site in one SLA-driven reading queue
- Radiology Information SystemOrders, scheduling, check-in, worklists and report distribution
- Billing and revenue cycleCharges, coding, claims, denials, posting and patient balances
Connects to what you keep
- Your EHROrders in and results out over HL7 and FHIR. The EHR stays the system of record.
- An existing PACS, if you keep itCIVIE RIS works with your existing PACS through HL7 and a DICOM modality worklist.
- Modalities and AI servicesDICOM in, structured findings back into the report.
Prefer to move only dictation? ASR connects to the RIS and PACS you keep.
FAQ
Migration
questions.
Because you'll do the hard parts only once. Moving templates, retraining radiologists and re-pointing interfaces are the same work whichever system you move to, and doing them alongside RIS, PACS or billing means one project instead of several. Support dates and terms for your current system depend on your agreement, so confirm them with your vendor.
