M*Modal and Poiesis Informatics Partner to Integrate Advanced Speech Understanding Technology into Poiesis Workflow Orchestration Suite
New diagnostic reporting tool, FluencyTM, empowers PACS users with greater speech recognition options.
Pittsburgh, PA (Vocus/PRWEB) November 28, 2010
M*Modal, the industry leader in advanced Speech UnderstandingTM technology, and Poiesis Informatics, a developer of integrated healthcare IT workflow solutions, today announced a partnership that will integrate M*Modal’s Speech UnderstandingTM technology into the Poiesis Workflow Orchestration Suite. FluencyTM, the recently launched speech-driven diagnostic reporting tool for PACS users, is the first Poiesis product to utilize the M*Modal platform.
FluencyTM provides PACS users with an alternative to existing speech recognition products: a clinical documentation solution that uses sophisticated speech and clinical reporting technologies, and can be tightly integrated into an existing PACS system to create an optimized workflow experience resulting in high-quality, meaningful documents. Leveraging M*Modal’s sophisticated Speech UnderstandingTM technology, the advanced diagnostic reporting and clinical documentation solution works to improve accuracy and reduce corrections by continually understanding context and adapting to physicians’ speech patterns. Additionally, FluencyTM supports embedding images of pertinent findings into the diagnostic report, a capability that improves efficiency and communication between radiologists and referring physicians.
Poiesis leverages its extensive experience in healthcare software development and professional services to create an optimized workflow experience through rich interoperability between disparate healthcare systems that contain critical information necessary to support complex workflow models. Their approach to creating user-driven customized solutions for customers is supported by their informatics expertise and keen understanding of the obstacles healthcare providers encounter in modern healthcare.
Providing a unified platform that combines superior speech recognition capabilities with Natural Language Processing (NLP), M*Modal’s industry-leading Speech UnderstandingTM technology turns physician dictation into structured, encoded, and shareable data. This data can be used to generate alerts and other information needed to drive medical actions. The advanced speech technology platform adapts to the radiologist’s workflow patterns and allows flexibility of use, supporting both self-editing and transcription-based workflow models and the ability to use voice-driven templates and macros.
“M*Modal’s Speech UnderstandingTM technology is unlike its competitors in that it takes speech recognition and clinical documentation to the next level of guiding actionable care,” said Claudine Martin, president of Poiesis Informatics. “The close integration of our technologies and the future-thinking mindset of our two companies are encouraging as we look forward to providing options for customers that will make substantial improvements to the way they provide care.”
“We are pleased to partner with Poiesis to support their innovative approach to the radiology industry. Speech UnderstandingTM powering the Fluency product creates a very powerful reporting tool with immediate benefits for radiologists and their organizations,” said Michael Finke, CEO of M*Modal.
RSNA attendees can learn more about FluencyTM and see product demonstrations at the Poiesis (#7021) and M*Modal (#9150) booths, November 28 – December 2, McCormick Place, Chicago, Ill.
