Fluency Friday- July 30th, 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.

Previous week's post: 6/18/21- Fluency Core Breakdown , 7/23/21- Transitioned from traditional transcription to front-end speech recognition-OneOncology

This week:?We look at an organization that took the steps to achieve improved clinical documentation and physician satisfaction within their multispecialty clinic.

Florida Medical Clinic:? a multispecialty clinic serving the North Tampa area with more than 60 locations, and 350 physicians. EMR: Greenway Intergy?

Challenges: Had a competitive documentation solution that did not meet the clinician's needs, unsatisfied in-house transcription turn around time & spend.

Results: " I don’t see the physicians at night and weekends anymore. We went from notes being 45 to 60 days old to 85 percent of all notes finished within three days, and the other 15 percent within two weeks. From that perspective, and from our compliance perspective, we can definitely quantify that the work is being done in a much timelier manner. I think the only way that that can happen is through the technology and tools we are providing physicians." - ?Gus Taylor Chief administrative officer, Florida Medical Clinic

"We also transitioned to 3M medical transcription. It has saved us a lot of money, and we are getting a better turnaround time than we were receiving with our in-house transcription team. Looking back, we wonder why we ever wasted management time and dollars on things that do not have anything to do with seeing or treating a patient." - ?Gus Taylor Chief administrative officer, Florida Medical Clinic

Less night and weekend work 85% of all notes finished within three days, Remaining 15% of notes finished within two weeks

"Whether that is using a 3M Fluency Direct product of voice-to-text, a virtual scribe or a live scribe, they have to find ways to really not focus on how they get their work done, but rather focus on medicine." - ?Gus Taylor Chief administrative officer, Florida Medical Clinic
