M*Modal Drives Anywhere, Anytime Medical Dictation With Enhancements to iOS Mobility Solution

FRANKLIN, TN--(Marketwired - May 1, 2014) - Understanding that physicians require more comprehensive, flexible clinical documentation solutions that reflect the fast-paced highly mobile health care environment, M*Modal today announced enhancements to its Fluency Flex™ Mobile dictation application for iOS 6.0+ devices. Moving beyond the capture of clinical notes during patient encounters to more robust clinical documentation, the new application allows physicians to select a patient from their appointment schedule to quickly and accurately record clinical notes, improving ease of use and productivity.

"M*Modal Fluency Flex Mobile gives physicians a robust dictation solution -- right in their pocket," said Duncan James, CEO of M*Modal. "This app allows them to dictate on their terms to help them save time, streamline their workflow, and ultimately deliver better care."

M*Modal Fluency Flex Mobile connects doctors with hospital information systems to access health records and dictate and review notes during patient encounters or on the go. The app captures high-quality audio which is securely and immediately transmitted to the M*Modal Fluency for Transcription™ speech engine for fast text conversion and transfer to electronic medical record (EMR) systems.

M*Modal Fluency Flex Mobile includes the following features:

• Physicians can select a patient from their appointment schedule with real-time updates when connected to hospital interfaces
• Online and offline voice capture, leveraging 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity for uploading dictations
• Ability to play back "in process" dictation and suspend jobs for later review/resume/completion
• Improved audio quality compared to using mobile carrier voice networks by leveraging the latest noise reduction technology on the iPhone
• Security features meeting HIPAA guidelines including unique authentication, inactivity timeout, encryption of data on device, secure communication over SSL

The app builds on the same cloud-based M*Modal Speech Understanding™ technology powering all M*Modal solutions, so existing clinician voice profiles can be used easily and instantly for optimal accuracy. The M*Modal Fluency™ family of products give healthcare providers the freedom to choose workflow options -- mobile, front- and back-end speech recognition, traditional transcription -- that best meet their needs.

The M*Modal Fluency Flex™ Mobile app is certified to run on the iPhone® and can work on any device running iOS v6.0 and above. The app is available in the iTunes App Store and is free to customers of M*Modal's Fluency for Transcription platform.
