M*Modal Announces Integration with ModLink from PACSGEAR - what does this mean for us?


Posted: Dec 04, 2013

Franklin, Tenn. – (November 26, 2013) – M*Modal, a leading provider of clinical documentation services and Speech Understanding™ solutions, today announced integration with ModLink™, a software solution from PACSGEAR that transfers structured report measurements directly into M*Modal Fluency for Imaging™ Reporting. M*Modal customers will save valuable dictation time by incorporating ModLink to auto-populate reports with structured report values.

“We are pleased to be working with M*Modal to integrate ModLink with M*Modal Fluency for Imaging Reporting,” said Thomas Pickard, Vice President of Marketing at PACSGEAR. “By integrating structured report values, M*Modal Fluency for Imaging customers will be able to make their dictated reports more accurate and efficient. We continue to be amazed at our customers’ response to this product.”

“We are proud to work with PACSGEAR to bring valuable workflow and quality enhancements to our mutual customers through a robust integration with M*Modal Fluency for Imaging Reporting and ModLink,” said Claudine Martin, Director, Solutions Management, Imaging at M*Modal. “By inserting measurements directly from the modality into the radiology report, this integration will reduce human error and bring significant additional value to the radiologist.”

M*Modal will demonstrate M*Modal Fluency for Imaging™ Reporting in Booth # 2552 and PACSGEAR will demonstrate ModLink at Booth #7913 at the 99th Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA 2013) in Chicago from December 1-6, 2013.

M*Modal Fluency for Imaging allows radiologists to conversationally create electronic and encoded patient documents as well as optimize workflows to increase productivity. It can be further optimized with M*Modal Catalyst for Radiology™, which extends these capabilities by aggregating data across multiple clinical systems and translating patient information into actionable medical insight.

I'm thinking radiology MTs should be very worried - anon

Sounds like this is the equivalent of speech recognition for Radiology, only their eventual job elimination will come in the form of images and scans instead of written text.

I worked inhouse at a hospital for 20 years. - jam

I typed everything from radiology, pathology, discharge summaries and everything in between.  Then a couple of years ago the radiologists started using VR, which cut our workload by about 40%.  Long story short, within about 6 months we went from 3 inhouse transcriptionists (small hospital) to NO inhouse transcriptionists, and they outsourced!  So much for loyalty!

I thought they were 2 different services.  Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows.  All the small companies have been merged I guess.  I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR.  Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...


M*Modal VR
Sep 25, 2010

I have another question.  When one does a draft in VR, does MT get paid for all lines in the draft or would an MT get paid if it has to be edited.  I will be trying to learn this in the next few weeks and I am scared to death I will not catch on and then I might be without a job.   I have a feeling I might not get paid for the whole draft report.  Then again it may depend on the company.  Any opinions please.   Thanks  ...

M-Modal Feedback
Dec 16, 2009

Would appreciate feedback from anyone using M-Modal, especially Webmedx Enterprise MTs. Dreading the conversion and wondering if my fears are well founded. I'm pretty fast straight typing but rarely get more than 50 lines more an hour with current VR. Seems all it takes is just one lousy report to negate the lines made on the decent reports. Afraid it's just going to be worse with M-Modal and the whole drop-down heading thing. Anyone have any encouragement to offer? ...


M-modal Being Horrible

I know there are a lot of comments on here about M-modal being horrible and I have to definitely agreed, it is the only VR I have used so nothing to really compare it to but cannot do many more lines per hour than I transcribe (usually about 275 lph or so), anyone willing to share how much they do on M-modal and how long the account has been on VR?  Just my curiosity since I don't seem to make any progress in increasing my lines per hour.  Thanks in advance. ...
