Bornholm Hospital - SpeechMagic takes uncertainty out of holidays

The Danish island of Bornholm gets several hundred thousand tourists a year, with the season peaking during the summer. To cope with the sudden increase in medical consultations, the island’s hospital uses SpeechMagic for the timely creation of diagnostic reports. Tourists and, of course, the island population now receive their exam results three times faster than before; leaving them certain about their health status and helping them to enjoy a carefree vacation.

“Go for it,” says Bornholm Hospital’s system administrator Charlotte Graungaard Bech, highlighting that the unique scalability of SpeechMagic supports healthcare installations of all sizes – from small departments to large hospital-wide networks.

How long has Bornholms Hospital used SpeechMagic?

We introduced Centricity powered by SpeechMagic more than two years ago and it works extremely well at our hospital. Our radiologists perform approximately 27,000 exams per year and both the speech recognition system and the RIS have been working with absolutely no problems.

Has this industrial grade speech recognition
platform proven to be the right fit for a small hospital?

Our hospital is situated in the island’s main town, Rønne, and we are a basic hospital with 150 beds and many specialties. When we were looking for a new radiology information system (RIS) to support our radiologists, we found that GE’s Centricity RISi best met our demands.



SpeechMagic came as part of the package and was one of the reasons why we opted for Centricity. I’m aware that SpeechMagic is an industrial grade technology that will also work in large hospital networks but I can assure you that it’s great for a smaller installation, as well.
