Alert Information



 Yellow:  Application Alert

Scheduled PowerScribe Maintenance

Monday, Nov 28, 2022 • 8:14 AM • joreily

Referring Physicians,

The Department of Radiology will be having a PowerScribe Downtime on Sunday, December 4, 2022 from 5:00AM to 8:00AM. During this time, they will not have the ability to dictate Radiology Reports, nor have the ability to send reports into Epic.

During this time, they will only be able to provide verbal, (wet reads), until their system becomes operation once again. The 3rd party company TRA, will still have the ability to continue dictating, and their reports will file in Epic as normal. Once the system is back up and operational, we may have a small delay in “catching up” with all the reports, so please be patient. The date and time was selected as the least busiest time for the Emergency Departments to lessen the impact.
