FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- M*Modal, a leading provider of clinical documentation and Speech Understanding^TM solutions, today announced that it has once again been named the leading vendor in Speech Recognition, Front-End EMR by KLAS, an independent research firm. Earning the top spot, M*Modal Fluency Direct^® surpasses two other front-end speech recognition solutions in this segment, according to the annual 2018 Best in KLAS: Software and Services report published on January 30. The Best in KLAS award recognizes companies like M*Modal that lead the market and deliver the broadest operational and clinical impact on healthcare organizations. KLAS conducts independent product evaluations and its rankings are based solely on the most important yardstick: client feedback collected via confidential interviews conducted over the preceding one-year period. Top-performing companies like M*Modal are awarded the #1 ranking by considering 20 performance criteria in five key categories. M*Modal is the only vendor in its segment that achieved above average scores in all 20 criteria.

Bringing the power of speech to the EHR, M*Modal Fluency Direct delivers a seamless documentation experience to physicians across care settings, devices, clinical workflows and applications. M*Modal Fluency Direct helps clinicians create complete and compliant notes directly in more than 150 EHRs, including Epic^®, Cerner^®, MEDITECH^®, athenahealth^®, eClinicalWorks^®, Allscripts^®, etc. The first to provide speech recognition and natural language understanding for physician documentation in the cloud since 2012, M*Modal Fluency Direct continues to be the highest performing and most reliable solution in its category as validated by KLAS.

“M*Modal Fluency Direct has been life changing. Thanks to M*Modal, I save several minutes on every follow-up visit and about 10 minutes on every new consultation….And compared to documenting in the EHR without any speech recognition at all, M*Modal saves me 3 to 4 hours every day,” said Dr. Peter Sloane, founding partner of Pulmonary and Critical Care Associates of Baltimore.

Additional differentiators of the solution include:

· With built-in Computer-Assisted Physician Documentation (CAPD) functionality, M*Modal Fluency Direct is far more than a speech-to-text solution as it proactively delivers artificial intelligence (AI) powered clinical intelligence to doctors as they document in the EHR.
· M*Modal Fluency Direct uniquely extends the physician’s personalized and consistent experience beyond the EHR by speech enabling all third-party apps in both iOS and Android environments that doctors use personally and professionally every day.
· Cloud enabled but not cloud dependent, M*Modal Fluency Direct is the only solution in the market that offers cloud deployment where it makes sense, with a fully-autonomous local alternative that does not depend on connectivity for uninterrupted mission-critical physician documentation.
· A single, cloud-hosted user speech profile and all speech customizations are automatically shared across applications, devices and workflows, enabling physicians to document wherever and whenever they need to.              

“We are proud to deliver the best EHR-integrated speech recognition solution to the market at a time when the administrative burden on physicians is leading to widespread burnout,” said Scott MacKenzie, CEO of M*Modal. “M*Modal Fluency Direct continues to gain noteworthy momentum in the market with leading healthcare organizations switching over to our solution to achieve the overarching goals of delivering high-value care and creating time to care. This prestigious award further underscores our unwavering commitment to our clients to provide industry-leading excellence and innovation in technology and service.”

To see first-hand how top-ranking M*Modal Fluency Direct is redefining clinical documentation workflows, please visit the *M*Modal booth (#4416) at the 2018 HIMSS conference* being held in Las Vegas from March 5 to 9.

--------------------Shares of Wynn Resorts soared as much as 6.3% on Wednesday morning after the embattled billionaire casino mogul Steve Wynn stepped down from his role as CEO and chairman of the company.

The announcement was made "reluctantly" by Wynn's board of directors on Tuesday. The board appointed Matt Maddox, the president of Wynn Resorts, as its new CEO, and Boone Wayson, as its non-executive chairman. 

The news came after Wynn, who is also the founder of Wynn Resorts, was accused last month of decades of sexual misconduct, including regularly pressuring his employees at Las Vegas casinos into performing sex acts. 

Wynn has repeatedly denied the allegations. 

A few weeks ago, Wynn resigned from his role as finance chairman at the Republican National Committee.

Wynn's stock was trading at $176.50 a share and was up 7.6% for the year.
