FRANKLIN, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MModal Inc.(NASDAQ/GS: MODL), a leading provider of clinical narrative
capture services, Speech Understanding™ technology and clinical
documentation workflow, today announced that it has entered into a
strategic reseller and development relationship with Allscripts (NASDAQ:
MDRX) for its speech and language understanding technology, which will
be available in key solutions for Allscripts clients across all
ambulatory and acute-care platforms. The relationship will provide
capabilities to create content-rich, voice-driven narrative patient
documentation within Allscripts electronic health record (EHR) systems.

“We are firmly committed to open software that delivers intuitive user
experience and captures complete, accurate, and high-quality patient
information”

M*Modal’s technology, based on its Speech Understanding™ and Natural
Language Understanding (NLU) platform, will empower Allscripts
market-leading EHRs, providing Allscripts clients with innovative new
technology focused on making electronic health records easier to learn
and use. The integration supports Allscripts commitment to offer
flexible note-creation options.

In addition, Allscripts is incorporating the M*Modal technology into its
mobility offerings including its Sunrise Mobile™ MD II product for
on-the-go speech understanding capability. Using Sunrise Mobile for the
iPad®, physicians can view complete patient context, use real-time
speech to create immediate and detailed progress reports and other
clinical notes, and have this documentation available to drive actions
in the Allscripts Sunrise Clinical Manager™ system.

“We are firmly committed to open software that delivers intuitive user
experience and captures complete, accurate, and high-quality patient
information,” said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts.
“M*Modal’s technology optimizes the physician’s ability to generate a
detailed story very efficiently in our Enterprise EHR platform from
either the workstation or a mobile device.”

M*Modal’s technology takes advantage of its cloud-based enterprise
documentation platform to enable healthcare providers to speech-enable
existing health information systems including EHRs, radiology
information systems (RIS) and picture archiving and communication
systems (PACS). Providers can use their voice, in addition to keyboard
and mouse, to seamlessly interact with their desktop clinical
applications, including the dictation of medical narrative and voice
navigation within 3^rd-party applications. Using this
solution, providers can improve documentation efficiency and avoid
difficulties associated with template-based point-and-click systems,
augmenting discretely captured data with a narrative of the patient’s
story. This ultimately improves the quality of clinical documentation.

“Allscripts is a leader in EHR technology and a demonstrated innovator
in the healthcare industry,” said Vern Davenport, Chairman and CEO of
M*Modal. “We are pleased to collaborate with Allscripts to bring its
large enterprise physician user-base our innovative technology to
generate meaningful, actionable clinical content in ways that respect
how they want to document patient encounters. With more than 165,000
physicians using M*Modal technology and services, we are poised to
provide even greater value to ambulatory providers and, ultimately,
patients.”
