PITTSBURGH, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- MultiModal Technologies, Inc. (M*Modal), and Transcend Services, Inc., today announced the signing of a major agreement to provide physicians based in hospitals and clinics with state-of-the-art speech and healthcare documentation services. The agreement enables Transcend, a leading provider of medical transcription and documentation services to the healthcare industry, to integrate M*Modal’s speech and documentation tools into Transcend’s Internet-based transcription data center and network. The AnyModal(TM) Clinical Documentation Services (CDS) is a unique hosted speech and documentation service that enables healthcare practitioners to produce the most accurate, reliable, and timely medical documents available.
“Our partnership with Transcend is an important step in our development of a premier marketing channel to focus on the medical transcription and documentation services industry,” said Michael Finke, CEO of M*Modal. “Our goal is to provide healthcare organizations with an easily integrated and transparent technology solution. The AnyModal technology platform transforms the medical transcription service proposition that constitutes the backbone of our nation’s clinical documentation infrastructure. AnyModal CDS converts speech not just into text but into structured reports capturing discrete clinical facts. Ultimately, Transcend’s and M*Modal’s focus is on providing the most robust and timely documentation services to improve patient safety and enable continuity of care.”
AnyModal CDS is the industry’s most comprehensive and most adaptable solution to meet the clinical documentation challenge. The unique integration of the company’s proprietary conversational speech recognition and natural language understanding technologies has led to breakthrough improvements in accuracy. The patent-pending Always Understanding(TM) approach not only turns speech into words, but also determines their meaning and thus creates complete, structured documents directly from unstructured dictation. Such structured clinical documents can be verified and edited by means of M*Modal’s editing software AnyModal(TM) Edit - which is the key to further enhance the efficiency of the complete documentation process.
“Transcend invests in the best people, systems, and technologies to make the process of medical transcription fast, reliable, accurate and secure,” said Larry Gerdes, CEO of Transcend. “After investigating potential technology partners through an in depth, objective analysis, our decision to partner with M*Modal was easy. We have integrated their technology into our transcription network with amazing results. We are confident that the combination of our technologies will provide our customers a more effective system for clinical documentation.”
