M*Modal's Advanced Speech Recognition Technology is Incorporated into Scribe's Web-based Document Solutions

This partnership Increases accuracy and productivity and reduces turnaround time for medical transcription.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) May 3, 2009 -- M*Modal today announced Scribe Healthcare Technology has incorporated the company's Speech Understanding technology into its web-based medical dictation, transcription and archival solutions.

Scribe's technology offerings simplify the business of medicine by providing web-based solutions for clinical information production, workflow management and analysis to healthcare providers and medical transcription service organizations that service them. The company is the leader in web-native medical dictation, transcription and archival solutions for the clinical information (documentation, transcription) segment of the healthcare marketplace. The company currently services more than 20,000 users in over 2,000 locations.

"When we saw how M*Modal's transformational Speech Understanding technology could enhance Scribe's current offerings, it made perfect sense to incorporate their web-based clinical documentation solution into ours." said Mark Boyce, Scribe President and CEO. "Our partnership will increase clinical documentation accuracy and share ability to allow healthcare providers more time to focus on patient care."

Scribe's technology has been developed by healthcare professionals for healthcare professionals with the objective of providing easily adopted web-based applications which do not require physicians to reinvent the way they practice medicine. M*Modal's transformational Speech Understanding solution, AnyModal™ CDS (Conversational Documentation Services), designed in a similar fashion, captures and comprehends clinical information from dictation, transforming it directly into accessible, retrievable, and shareable electronic files.

The web-based Scribe Platform provides a unique set of tools for the creation, production, storage, communication, sharing, and analysis of clinical information. The accessible clinical information repository is built to be accessible anywhere at anytime to allow timely, but secure patient information exchange and transmittal. The web-native applications are cost-effective requiring no upfront software or hardware purchases. An Internet-connected computer and Web browser are the only requirements needed to use the services with charges based on actual usage.

Scribe solutions simplify the business of medicine by allowing:

•    Physicians to reduce the time it takes to document patient encounters and centralize records in one anywhere, anytime accessible place.

•    Healthcare Administrators and Transcription Companies to work more efficiently and cost effectively by streamlining their workflow management.

•    Hospitals and practices to optimize financial results by lowering costs and increasing reimbursement through access to analytical tools that provide the right information at the right time.

•    Patients to have easy access to their medical information.

•    Transcription companies to enhance their technology offerings to their customers via Scribe.

"We are pleased to work with a company that is advancing the medical documentation field through its innovative web-based services," said Michael Finke, CEO of M*Modal. "Our combined technologies offer solutions that are scalable, affordable, and extremely easy to manage providing the ability to serve smaller as well as larger clients."
