Company celebrates 10 years of helping audiologists and professionals streamline their hearing assessment and fitting workflow with Otosuite.
Schaumburg, IL - June 15, 2017 – Otometrics/Audiology Systems is pleased to announce that this year marks the 10-year anniversary of the Otosuite® software interface. Introduced in 2007, the Otosuite supports the full patient journey from video otoscopy, to audiometry, diagnostic Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE), tympanometry, Probe Microphone Measurement (PMM) and beyond.
Facilitating efficiency through software-based testing
“We are proud to be at the forefront of cutting-edge technology” says Mona Dworsack-Dodge, Director of Market Management and Audiology. She continues, “When the software integration with Otosuite was first introduced, the first integration simply combined tympanometry with counseling tools. Today, Otosuite brings it all together. Our innovation—every new module and feature enhancement—is inspired by a vision to help today’s clinicians help their patients in the most efficient and effective way.”
Integrated instrumentation with the latest version of Otosuite include the new Madsen® Zodiac immittance solution, Aurical® Otocam 300 video otoscope, Madsen® Astera2 audiometer, Madsen® Capella2 for diagnostic OAE, as well as, the Aurical® fitting solution with audiometry, PMM and hearing instrument testing. More solutions available.
According to Lance Brown, Director of Software Integration, “An integrated system simplifies your workflow. Because the Otosuite software operates as a module inside the Noah database, patient data loads quickly and test results—such as audiograms, tympanograms, OAE results—are automatically saved to the digital patient record in Noah.”
Customized training and Audiology Education services are available for professionals and practices who would like to transition to an integrated clinic. Otometrics/Audiology Systems’ dedicated training team helps professionals maximize Otosuite’s tools and features to streamline and personalize their workflow. Otosuite can be customized to meet the individual needs or it can be standardized to defined protocols across larger organizations.
Expanding beyond instrumentation
In addition to test modules, Otometrics also introduced an integrated report writer and patient database module in 2016. Otosuite® Reports combines patient test data into a professional, customized report—in both digital and print media format.
OTObase® is a database module that connects audiology patient data to an existing Electronic Medical Record (EMR) program. Brown continues, “Integrating with OTObase® is seamless, with the same look and feel as Noah, users can adopt a streamlined workflow to improve efficiency. With OTObase® customizable reports, a complete evaluation of all testing preformed gets submitted to the EMR/EHR with the click of a button. Users will immediately notice time savings of about 15 minutes compared to their old methods of printing, scanning, and more.”
He adds, “Specific to EMR and Otobase, dedicated Software Integration Group or SIG representatives can help bridge the gap between audiology and IT services allowing us to help with EMR/EHR integration. We can also help with data security, backup—aspects of audiology usually neglected.”
