Company Posts Gains in Overall Performance for Its Fluency Direct Software, and Strong Financial Results for 2014


FRANKLIN, TN--(Marketwired - Apr 10, 2015) -  M*Modal, a leading provider of clinical documentation and Speech Understanding™ solutions, today announced that M*Modal's Fluency Direct software was ranked among the top front-end speech recognition solutions, according to a recent report by market analyst firm KLAS. M*Modal is the only provider to post year-over-year gains in overall performance.

KLAS' mission is to improve the delivery of healthcare technology by independently measuring and reporting on vendor performance. Their report, "Front End Speech - Support, Value, Reputation," was published in March 2015. 

According to the report, M*Modal leads in value -- customers ranked M*Modal highest in avoiding unexpected expenses. "M*Modal's cloud offering wins them many clients due to its low upfront and maintenance costs, easier scalability and much shorter learning curve," the report revealed.

"With M*Modal, we were really impressed with how fast and easy the product was to use and get up to speed on. We achieved a 75% uptake; our uptake on Dragon had been only 2%... We have a whole queue of physicians waiting to start using Fluency Direct," said a CIO participating in the KLAS report.

Current data found on KLASresearch.com recognizes M*Modal as the frontrunner among providers for front-end speech solutions.

M*Modal's leadership in front-end speech highlights the company's success in packaging technology solutions with clinical documentation services.
