More than a vendor — The difference between a contract, a partnership and a relationship

As a growing health system using disparate technologies across multiple facilities LCMC Health was looking for ways to standardize the clinical documentation experience. The evaluation team at LCMC Health was also tasked with cutting transcription costs when deciding on front-end speech recognition and electronic health record (EHR) solutions. Once the organization selected Epic as its EHR across facilities, the hunt was on for speech recognition that helped optimize the documentation experience for its physicians. The hospital assembled a committee to define criteria and ultimately select the best solution to meet this objective.

“We’re not about vendors or partners; we’re about relationships, and that’s what we wanted,” said Dr. Damon Dietrich, chief medical information officer at LCMC Health.

When taking the initial steps to look at speech recognition solutions, AI-driven 3M™ M*Modal Fluency Direct made a lasting impression. Because users experienced out-of-the-box accuracy, 16 out of 17 physicians on the panel selected 3M Fluency Direct as the organization’s speech recognition solution. “Bottom line—we chose 3M because it was superior to others,” Dr. Dietrich said.
