LAKE BLUFF, Ill. (Business Wire EON) April 21, 2008 -- Transolutions, Inc., a technology-driven healthcare information company and one of the largest domestic medical transcription companies in the United States, and M*Modal, the creator of the industry’s most advanced speech understanding technology, today announced an agreement to offer integrated services to Transolutions’s transcription clients. This alliance streamlines the ability to share patient data by bringing structured and encoded data from dictation into Electronic Health Records (EHRs).

Carnrite, President, Transolutions, Inc. “Incorporating the AnyModal CDS technology will save the clinician time while providing the opportunity to create additional clinical value from their dictation (i.e. data mining)," he added.

Transolutions, Inc. transcription services are available to health care organizations through a variety of delivery systems. By using the combined services and tools now available, organizations can create physician-dictated medical reports that contain relevant patient data retrieved from existing repositories. By following healthcare industry reporting standards (HL7 CDA), AnyModal CDS data can be accessed, edited, and reviewed across departments through a number of flexible formats and shared between multi-vendor healthcare practitioners and facilities.

“Our two companies have a shared vision – to increase productivity, physician satisfaction, and the quality of patient care through easier access to dictated health information,” stated Michael Finke, CEO of M*Modal. “More advanced collection, integration, and analysis of patient data is the natural next step to advance the adoption and ultimate value of the EHR,” he said.
