Agfa Installs Talkstation in U.S. Veterans Hospitals

Agfa Healthcare announced yesterday that it will install its speech recognition system, TalkStation, in more than 45 hospitals run by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), as part of VA’s strategy to decrease report turnaround time and improve quality of care.

The installation will include TalkStation 3.1, which has been validated to work with the VistA information system that is used at every VA Hospital. Each hospital is expected to be running TalkStation 3.1 by early 2007.
