The technology is an all-in-one, AI-powered solution which will enable physicians of any medical specialty to conversationally create, review, edit and sign clinical notes directly within electronic health records.

As a result, healthcare professionals will no longer need to spend laborious time on updating the patient’s medical records and various clinical documentation. Freed up from these administrative procedures, they can concentrate on improving the clinician and patient experience.

In addition, the system ensures better documentation, accurate coding, and appropriate reimbursement.

Erik Van Hoeymissen, Vice President Global Clinician Solutions at 3M Health Information Systems said: “3M M*Modal Fluency Direct is a solution that … significantly speeds up the clinical documentation process by enabling a voice driven conversational interaction with the electronic health record, while at the same time improving clinical documentation quality by proactively nudging clinicians and surfacing important information in real time through AI based speech understanding technology.”

Mohamed Al Holibi, Regional Business Manager, 3M Health Information Systems – MEA said: “As Saudi Arabia continues to drive efforts to restructure its health sector, 3M’s solutions are helping to accelerate digital health transformation in the kingdom.
