Fluency Friday - July 23rd, 2021

A weekly series that highlights the measurable benefits 3M M*Modal clinical documentation solutions are having on healthcare providers & organizations to “Create more Time to Care” for the communities they serve.

Last week's recap: We looked into the 3M M*Modal Fluency Core and what makes up the AI engine that powers these products. (previous week's post )

This week: We are looking at an organization that transitioned from traditional transcription to front-end speech recognition and the benefits they recognized.

The Clinical Documentation Transformation: For organizations that still have providers using traditional transcription, we can help by leveraging and running the provider's voice narrative through our back-end speech recognition, which allows for improved MT productivity and efficiency. Along with faster turnaround time and closed notes.

OneOncology: is an Oncology care network with 134 care sites with 242 oncology clinicians, utilizing OncoEMR? by Flatiron EHR.

• Challenges: Wanted to improve clinical documentation practices to achieve value-based care, had a transcription workflow to support clinicians but with the implementation of OncoEMR, the practice wanted to reduce and/ or eliminate the cost and delay of transcription.

Results: Improved efficiency, EHR adoption, and higher quality clinical documentation. 3M M*Modal's speech understanding incorporates proprietary speech recognition and artificial intelligence (AI), enabling clinicians to conversationally create, review, edit and sign clinical notes directly in the EHR. Built-in natural language understanding (NLU) facilitates contextual understanding of clinical notes, improving documentation accuracy.?

The addition of real-time speech recognition has enabled OneOncology practices to almost?“eliminate?the cost and delay of transcription,?saving them more than $1 million per year,” said —David Stewart, Chief Information Officer at OneOncology.

“One oncologist at the practice reported a 30% increase in productivity with the use of 3M Fluency Direct”, Stewart noted.

“We had 3M associates on standby to help our physicians in case of any hiccups or struggles, and no one needed them,” said Stewart. “No one went back to transcription. The adoption rate out of the gate for 3M M*Modal Fluency Direct was really high.”

Next week: Stay tuned for next week when we take a look at Children’s Medical Group, in Hamden, Conn. case study.
