Joanne Bignell, Nurse Practitioner at SickKids, says, “I used to take handwritten notes and spent a lot of time typing out my detailed documentation.
While SickKids launched M*Modal to be used with Epic, the M*Modal application can also be used with other applications, like e-mail.įront-end dictation is not only saving time for physicians, but also for the other members of the care team who add notes to the charts. The ability to watch the words appear on the screen is not only impressive but much more efficient and productive. Gone are the days of paper documentation and calling in to record a note for transcription. SickKids invested in over 600 remote microphones, strategically placed in inpatient areas and outpatient clinics and some providers’ offices. “Our frontline providers have commented on how accurate and quick the system is.” “To be able to dictate your notes directly into Epic, make your edits and sign off on those notes in one workflow is very helpful, particularly in our outpatient clinics,” says Dr. Karim Jessa, Chief Medical Information Officer. “Front-end dictation is a feature that we were really excited to introduce to SickKids and it has been wildly successful,” says Dr. Using the new Epic/M*Modal solution, providers can now dictate directly into the patient record, eliminating the need for transcription and shortening the time it takes for documentation to reach the patient record and referring providers.įurthermore, with the ability to use Epic’s mobile apps to access the patient chart remotely, and M*Modal’s microphone mobile application, providers can use their smartphones to dictate anytime, anywhere. This process could end up taking days to weeks. The audio message would then be sent back to the provider to edit and sign off before being transcribed. After selecting a few different options, they would then speak into the phone to record their note, just as if they were leaving a voice mail message. The process would start with the provider picking up a phone and dialing the number for the dictation service. Providers have been using back-end dictation software at SickKids for the past 12 years. Recipients of the notes, such as other consultants or primary care providers, also get timely access to these important communications.ĭictation isn’t entirely new to SickKids. Providers can now open a patient’s chart and simply dictate their notes, make edits, sign off and finalize their notes in one workflow. TORONTO – The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) has integrated a new version of M*Modal’s dictation solution, equipped with high-accuracy speech recognition, with its newly installed Epic patient record system.
