Testimonials

"The mTuitive program has been a valuable tool added to our pathology practice. It allows us to report on cancer parameters in the most up to date and standardized way, which in turn helps facilitate appropriate patient management and foster a team-based approach to cancer care."

Dr. Joseph Wasielewski, Chief of Pathology and Medical Director of the TBRHSC lab

"Our physician partners are now able to complete operative notes and sign them online in a seamless, effortless manner, in a fraction of the time compared to verbal dictation. No longer do we need to chase after surgeons to complete an operative report or sign a dictation weeks after the procedure."

David Grischkan, MD

"Surgeons need to know how important it is to collect data this way. You're not just dictating your operative report so you have something in the hospital chart – everybody’s looking at this stuff now. OpNote is how the surgical report should be created."

Deanna Attai, MD

"The mTuitive program is simple to use and adds comprehensive value to our reports. AJCC inspector was quite impressed with our computer linked reporting system."

Dr. Paul Cook, Phelps County Regional Medical Center

"Surgeons are such an individual breed - but because mTuitive put this “individuality” into OpNote, where physicians can express themselves in their own words while retaining the structured data, I became convinced that this is the way to go."

H. Walter Kaess, MD

"This has been the easiest MEDITECH interface implementation that I have done to date, and I have done many."

Peter Cox, Clinical Applications Analyst at Sudbury

"I like the idea of being able to create an operative report that is complete and comprehensive in a very rapid and efficient way. I review a number of medical legal reports, both for the medical association and for various attorneys, and have been struck by the disorganization and deficiencies of non-standardized dictations. OpNote has made it easy to create a complete, standardized report generated in a rapid and intuitive manner."

John Mattson, MD

"I signed out a radical prostatectomy case today myself and it was a breeze. It was easier for me to do it myself than to dictate and it made me more efficient."

Dr. Ricky Johnson, Southeastern Regional Medical Center

"I saw the immediate value in OpNote – in terms of the efficiency that it created for physicians, the accuracy in documentation, the ability (because it’s digitized) to search and report. And to expand on the accuracy in reporting: it’s not just accuracy in the details but the accuracy in coding, which then turns into quicker and improved reimbursement assistance."

Seth Goldberg, MD

"I am happy to write about mTuitive’s xPert for Pathology product because I believe that it is an excellent one…In addition, the mTuitive Support team is extremely responsive and courteous. I will be happy to speak to anyone who may want to talk to me or my colleagues about our experience with mTuitive."

Ramon Blanco, MD, FCAP, Chief of Pathology at Falmouth (MA) Hospital

"Beyond the cost savings on a per procedure basis, the real benefit is the tremendous improvement in cash flow resulting from a more rapid billing process that is driven by a much quicker operative report process. Nothing in my experience has made such a significant, positive impact in cash flow as mTuitive's program for operative notes"

David Grischkan, MD

"I have had the opportunity to view other synoptic tools and find that the mTuitive model is by far superior in its ease of use and the fact that the output is displayed for the user in one window."

Dr. Mahmoud Khalifa, MD, PhD, FRCPC, Interim Chief of Anatomic Pathology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Professor at University of Toronto

"Medical practices require a special employee to review all these reports and codes – and that’s just not cost or time effective. The delay in getting the operative reports was something we noticed – this new system will eliminate those delays."

Roger Chabra, MD

David Grischkan, MD

"Our pathology group serves four hospitals with a combined surgical pathology load of about 30,000 specimens annually. With such a load and with the new requirements to comply with College of American Pathologists’ Cancer Protocols for surgical pathology reporting, mTuitive’s xPert for Pathology is just what we needed."

Ramon Blanco, MD, FCAP, Chief of Pathology at Falmouth (MA) Hospital

"After a short learning curve, surgeons will find that SourcePlus OpNote is faster than dictating and far less onerous for surgeons as the repetition present in 90% of operative reports is eliminated. We now produce superior operative reports while generating additional revenue."

John Mattson, MD

January 19, 2012 Updated iPad Experience for OpNote by Peter O'Toole

October 11, 2011 Are Surgical Objectives Important Enough to Document? by Rob Dean

In the latest Becker's Hospital Site Review, readers can find a great piece by Dr. Jared Ament that asks if surgical objectives are important enough to document? Dr. Ament used mTuitive OpNote as an example of an electronic way to easily and effectively capture important information for outcomes measurement and surgical research. But, Dr. Ament asks, should the original surgical objectives of those procedures be included in that research? What insight can be gained from comparing the objective with the outcome? What harm could come from documenting the original intent?

October 5, 2011 Why Your Facility Needs Updated Browsers by Rob Dean

September 22, 2011 Download/Print Day’s Reports at Once by Rob Dean

New Feature!

We update OpNote with new features and improvements on a monthly basis. One of the new features we recently published is "Batch Printing," which we detailed here last week. Less than a week later we've already updated this feature so that personnel can do Batch Printing and now they can also "Batch Download" all of the day's reports.

Please Note: if you have a filter on for that day (by surgeon), then you will only download/print that surgeon's reports for that day. To read about both, scroll down; to jump directly to Batch Downloading, click here.

September 14, 2011 New OpNote Videos by Rob Dean

Here are some videos addressing some questions you may have about OpNote:

Speed of OpNote:

Once defaults are satisfactorily set up, users will find it's faster to create and sign out a finished report than with dictation and transcription. Again - the report isn't finished until sign out, which OpNote provides immediately, thus allowing for faster reimbursement.

August 9, 2011 Defining Proactive Customer Service by Peter O'Toole

Today I looked up the term proactive because I want to make a distinction between "excellent customer service," which the awesome staff at mTuitive have always provided, and "proactive customer service," which is another level. You hear the word proactive a lot in the technology business, but how often do you think about what it [...]
