The following are a few of the many foremost healthcare organizations that have chosen the M*Modal award-winning, cloud-based platform to redefine clinical workflows and drive outcomes in inpatient and ambulatory care settings.

Owensboro Health: Having partnered with M*Modal for the Company’s superior AI-powered speech platform with integrated CDI (Clinical Documentation Improvement) solutions, Owensboro Health is focused on supporting its physicians with smarter documentation tools. “M*Modal’s demonstrated higher performance in our Citrix environment, commitment to innovation and true partnership, and development relationship with Epic were critical to our decision making,” said Dr. David Danhauer, CMIO of Owensboro Health. “Additionally, M*Modal Computer-Assisted Physician Documentation (CAPD) is a game changer, seamlessly engaging our physicians early in the process with proactive clinical insights delivered at the point of care.”

Spectrum Health: Upgrading from competitive products, Spectrum Health teamed up with M*Modal to implement a unified and progressive documentation strategy for enterprise-wide impact on patient care delivery. “We are pleased to innovate with M*Modal and Epic by piloting Epic’s Haiku Voice Assistant powered by M*Modal’s leading-edge speech and AI technology, which is extremely important to a successful functioning assistant,” said Dr. James Schweigert, CMIO of Spectrum Health. “With this, we move toward an increasingly ambient physician documentation experience so that doctors can more naturally and easily interact with both the patient and the patient record, improving both patient and physician satisfaction.”

WVU Medicine West Virginia University Health System: To progress from legacy voice recognition to an innovative clinical documentation platform, WVU Medicine chose M*Modal to drive EHR adoption with a market-leading solution suite that would reduce the administrative burden on over 1,500 physicians. “We have achieved significant adoption of speech recognition in our hospitals and affiliated clinics in a very short time. The M*Modal real-time natural language understanding (NLU) technology improves chart documentation by bringing CDI to the front-end physician workflow in Epic,” said Dr. David Rich, CMIO of WVU Medicine. According to Dr. Eric Lowden, OB/GYN specialist at WVU Medicine, M*Modal also delivers noteworthy value in the ambulatory care setting: “M*Modal Fluency Direct® has been transformational for EMR documentation in my practice, without question improving workflow efficiency and productivity.” Hear Wendy Ross, Lead Systems Analyst and Ashley Burns, Systems Analyst, WVU Medicine, discuss “Adopting nature-al language” at Epic UGM on August 29 at 4 PM CDT.
