M*Modal Partners With athenahealth

M*Modal, a provider of clinical documentation and Speech Understanding solutions, recently announced that it has partnered with athenahealth’s More Disruption Please (MDP) program. M*Modal Fluency Direct and M*Modal Fluency Flex mobile solutions are now available on the athenahealth MDP Marketplace, and the companies will work together to link athenahealth’s growing network of more than 52,000 care providers with these solutions. M*Modal’s speech recognition and dictation products give physicians flexibility and convenience in creating and managing patient records.

M*Modal offers the following two clinical documentation solutions on the athenahealth marketplace:

• M*Modal Fluency Direct is a single cloud-based enterprise documentation platform that uses Speech Understanding technology to translate and produce medical documentation from spoken words. The solution is designed to “speech-enable” existing health information systems with medical narrative dictation capabilities within third-party applications, helping providers maximize productivity within their EHR.
• M*Modal Fluency Flex Mobile is an iOS-based medical dictation app that enables health care providers to dynamically dictate and review notes during patient encounters or on-the-go. As part of the M*Modal Fluency for Transcription speech engine, the app captures high-quality audio which is securely transmitted for fast text conversion and transfer to an EHR.

athenahealth is a cloud-based services company with a vision to build an information backbone to help make health care work as it should. Through the MDP program, athenahealth is accelerating high-value innovation via the cloud, providing new services to help providers thrive in the face of industry change and pressure. MDP partners with innovators, entrepreneurs, companies, investors, and individuals—those who are passionate about overthrowing established approaches in health care that simply aren’t working, aren’t good enough, or aren’t advancing the industry. MDP invites qualified companies like M*Modal to gain access to the more than 52,000 providers that are already plugged into athenahealth’s cloud-based network.
