Marketwired
M*Modal, a leading provider of clinical documentation services and
Speech Understanding™ solutions, today announced it has expanded
its strategic relationship with imaging leader Merge Healthcare
(NASDAQ: MRGE) to an extensive reseller partnership. This brings a
unique combination of the M*Modal Fluency™ and M*Modal Catalyst™
technology platforms to Merge's imaging customers, delivering
cloud-based speech recognition, real-time business intelligence,
structured multimedia reporting and workflow management for fast
and accurate diagnostic interpretations.
As part of this reseller agreement, Merge will bundle M*Modal
Fluency for Imaging and M*Modal Catalyst for Radiology with its
Merge PACS portfolio of imaging and radiology products to give
clients greater flexibility and simplicity in deploying picture
archiving and communication systems (PACS). Merge and M*Modal
currently deliver these integrated solutions to a number of imaging
customers.
"We are expanding our partnership with M*Modal to deliver a
full-service package to our customers," said Jeff Surges, CEO of
Merge Healthcare. "We've had tremendous success in validating
M*Modal's technology on our platforms, and customers have seen
improvements in quality, productivity and efficiency. This
agreement will help get our clients up and running even faster, and
move the right data to the right place in their clinical
documentation process."
M*Modal's Fluency for Imaging combines Speech Understanding
technology with real-time prompts, unified worklists and
departmental business analytics. Catalyst for Quality leverages
M*Modal's Natural Language Understanding™ which unlocks and applies
valuable insights buried in narrative reports that are not apparent
when analyzing only structured data. M*Modal's software offers
greater accuracy, flexibility and simplicity to image reporting, so
that radiologists can make more efficient and informed
interpretations.
"Our collaboration with Merge really speaks to the demand in
healthcare for speech-enhanced products as well as technologies
that enable efficient diagnoses," said Vern Davenport, CEO of
M*Modal. "Merge and M*Modal both focus on delivering cloud-based
intelligence and giving clients access to images and documentation
anywhere, anytime."
M*Modal's clinical documentation solutions provide the tools to
better orchestrate radiology workflows, pull critical patient
information from historical reports, and capture and share spoken
assessments with referring doctors. With these platforms,
radiologists can create complete, compliant and encoded
documentation while also identify, address and prevent
documentation deficiencies at the point of care.
