Click to see how built-in, proactive CAPD helps physicians capture the patient story.
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.
Cloud-based 3M™ M*Modal Fluency Direct seamlessly works with more than 250 EHRs, including all major platforms, to achieve faster EHR adoption, higher quality documentation and lower transcription costs. Advanced voice commands facilitate EHR navigation and single sign-on capabilities further boost physician productivity.
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.
"That’s why we chose to move forward with 3M Fluency Direct. It worked very well out of the box. We did some tests, and it blew our previous product away. We switched every single doctor to 3M Fluency Direct.”
Gus Taylor
Chief administrative officer, Florida Medical Clinic
