M*Modal Launches Certification Program for Integrating Speech Understanding Technology in Healthcare IT Systems
FRANKLIN, TN, Jan 15, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
M*Modal, a leading provider of clinical documentation and Speech
Understanding(TM) solutions, today announced a new certification
program for electronic health record (EHR) and other healthcare
systems. The M*Modal Partner Certification Program is designed to
help healthcare IT (HCIT) vendors seamlessly integrate advanced
speech recognition and natural language understanding features into
their systems using M*Modal's Fluency Direct(TM) solution.
Leveraging years of experience collaborating with leading HCIT
vendors, M*Modal has formalized this certification program to support
the healthcare ecosystem with a leading speech technology platform.
The program -- offered to vendors at no cost -- combines technology
support, training, marketing alignment and sales strategy to enhance
EHRs, radiology information systems (RIS) as well as picture archive
and communication systems (PACS). Participating vendors will join a
long list of current M*Modal partners and HCIT industry leaders,
including Allscripts, Merge and Greenway.
"M*Modal continues to become the speech partner of choice for HCIT
providers by offering an easy path to reliable integration with our
technologies," said Matt Jenkins, M*Modal Senior Vice President of
Corporate Business Development. "Speech-enabling EHRs drives greater
physician adoption and satisfaction with their EHR investments.
Physicians can now have both the ease of using speech to capture the
patient story while gaining all the benefits from creating structured
data and storing it in the EHR."
As more healthcare providers go live on system implementations,
speech can be an important part of helping them achieve "meaningful
use" and meeting federal requirements for system utilization. With
Fluency Direct, physicians can significantly improve their
productivity by creating and editing patient information at the point
of care using front-end speech recognition. Unlike other
speech-to-text applications, Fluency Direct can voice-enable existing
clinical systems, going beyond template dictation to include full
voice navigation and customized commands across application features
and functions.
With M*Modal's Partner Certification Program, vendors can realize
significant benefits, including:
-- Easy integration and scalability in virtualized Citrix environments
-- 200,000 voice profiles collected over 10 years, resulting in deep
recognition of sophisticated medical terminologies, speech dialects,
accents and cadences, enabling HCIT providers to get their customers
up and running quickly
-- In-cloud storage and processing, enabling anytime, anywhere clinical
documentation creation and management
-- Minimal development resource requirements, letting vendors focus on
their own system development efforts
-- Speech enablement workshops and engineering support
