This all-in-one speech and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered solution enables physicians of any medical specialty to conversationally create, review, edit and sign clinical notes directly in your electronic health record (EHR). This solution leverages 3M natural language understanding (NLU) technology for contextual understanding of the patient’s narrative and helps to improve documentation accuracy from the first word. 3M Fluency Direct delivers an exceptional clinical documentation experience to physicians, leading to higher physician adoption of technology.

With built-in computer-assisted physician documentation (CAPD) functionality, the technology continuously analyzes and monitors the clinical narrative. In real time, it nudges you for additional information or clarification and suggests specific things you can do to improve the quality of care and clinical documentation.

  • Personalized physician experience

    A single, cloud-hosted voice profile allows clinicians to dictate into their EHR from anywhere, any device and any care setting. By providing physicians greater flexibility and portability in choosing appropriate workflows and devices, 3M Fluency Direct frees up more time for patient care and helps drive higher physician adoption.

  • Real time insights with CAPD

    3M Fluency Direct also includes built-in CAPD functionality to deliver real time automated and proactive AI correlated feedback to clinicians as they document in the EHR. This closed-loop documentation solution automatically brings the right insights to physicians within the clinical documentation workflow, as well as tracks and reports on physician interaction with the system.
