MModal Inc., a provider of clinical narrative capture services, Speech Understanding™ technology and clinical documentation workflow, today announced that it has entered into a strategic reseller and development relationship with Allscripts for its speech and language understanding technology, which will be available in key solutions for Allscripts clients across all ambulatory and acute-care platforms. The relationship will provide capabilities to create content-rich, voice-driven narrative patient documentation within Allscripts electronic health record systems.
M*Modal’s technology, based on its Speech Understanding™ and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) platform, will empower Allscripts market-leading EHRs, providing Allscripts clients with innovative new technology focused on making electronic health records easier to learn and use. The integration supports Allscripts commitment to offer flexible note-creation options.
In addition, Allscripts is incorporating the M*Modal technology into its mobility offerings including its Sunrise Mobile™ MD II product for on-the-go speech understanding capability. Using Sunrise Mobile for the iPad®, physicians can view complete patient context, use real-time speech to create immediate and detailed progress reports and other clinical notes, and have this documentation available to drive actions in the Allscripts Sunrise Clinical Manager™ system.
“We are firmly committed to open software that delivers intuitive user experience and captures complete, accurate, and high-quality patient information,” said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts. “M*Modal’s technology optimizes the physician’s ability to generate a detailed story very efficiently in our Enterprise EHR platform from either the workstation or a mobile device.”
