Viztek, the Jacksonville, FL-based state-of-the-art digital solutions company, and M*Modal (Pittsburgh, PA) announced an agreement for the integration of M*Modal’s AnyModal™ CDS, the company’s widely adopted, speech understanding solution into Viztek’s advanced Web-based Opal-RAD PACS. As a new Viztek voice driven data capture and document creation component, AnyModal CDS, will transform the quality and accuracy of exam interpretation and advance EHR integration without changing workflow.
Using Viztek’s Opal-RAD PACS, radiologists dictate reports directly to exam files. AnyModal CDS captures and comprehends clinical information from dictation, transforming it directly into accessible, retrievable and shareable electronic files. The technology utilizes speech understanding to deliver highly accurate, complete documents with meaning and context. As a unique Viztek feature, audio files are available for review locally or by any authorized user anywhere over the Internet.
“Viztek’s Opal-RAD offers a wide range of benefits and has always been distinguished by its unique direct-to-exam dictation,” said Josip Cermin, President and Founder. “This new relationship takes dictation to a higher level by employing speech understanding for efficiency and convenience, while helping to support an integrated patient record. “Mr. Cermin goes on to say, “We believe the M*Modal technology is a perfect fit with Viztek’s vision to merge the medical and information technology communities.”
Via its unique speech understanding technology, M*Modal automatically generates accurate reports from narrative dictation without formatting commands, allowing physicians to continue to document fast and in their natural style. In order to improve accuracy over competitive products in the market, M*Modal technology uses context-based understanding versus standard single-word recognition. This allows the system to understand phrases instead of simple audio which is frequently affected by background noise. By following mandated reporting standards, the technology supports streamlined report sharing across multi-vendor healthcare practitioners and facilities.
Commenting on the new relationship, Michael Finke, M*Modal CEO said, “We applaud the value and commitment Viztek brings to Radiology and are excited to partner with a company that brings a unique vision of closing the loop between digital imaging and digital reporting to better service the imaging center and small hospital market.
