Boston, MA - mTuitive, Inc. congratulates two of its customers - Integrated Hospital Laboratories (IHL) Service of Windsor-Essex and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre - on winning 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, in the Trailblazer Award for the ImagineNation Outcomes Challenge in the area of Clinical Synoptic Reporting. It was announced today by the Challenge's sponsor, Canada Health Infoway, that the two sites were awarded prizes and funds for their Trailblazer Plans outlining how they plan on implementing, integrating and expanding clinical synoptic reporting at their facilities.

IHL Service of Windsor-Essex is located in Windsor, ON while Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is in Toronto, ON. Both sites currently use mTuitive's xPert for Pathology to capture structured data for their cancer pathology cases while adhering to industry and national standards for synoptic reporting. Sunnybrook also uses mTuitive's Agile Author to create their own customized synoptic reporting solutions. Not only does the award provide recognition of all of the hard work and dedication IHL Service of Windsor-Essex and Sunnybrook have shown to excellent synoptic reporting, but it also comes with a prize of $20,000 and $10,000 for each of the sites, respectively.

"We are very excited about finishing second in the Clinical Synoptic Reporting category for the Trailblazer awards," a representative of IHL Service of Windsor-Essex stated. "Working with mTuitive has not only been professionally rewarding but has also proved to be financially rewarding too. We look forward to continuing to promote our solution using mTuitive software."

The ImagineNation Outcomes Challenge aims to "accelerate the use and spread of innovative solutions in health care information and communication technologies...with the potential to improve health care quality and the patient experience in Canada." Health providers are encouraged to sign up for the outcomes challenge by filling out a short application and submitting a brief video detailing the method used to conform to synoptic reporting standards.

There are subsequent awards handed out throughout the two year process. Sites need only fill out the application and monitor usage of the solutions - the more people use the reporting solution, the more likely the sites are to receive the awards. And for those sites already using an mTuitive solution, expanding the number of users or adopting other mTuitive synoptic reporting solutions (like our Gross pathology, Dx pathology or OpNote products) will also help them potentially win the award. Registration is still open and sites are still able to participate in the challenge and possibly win awards and recognition for their synoptic reporting.

Please note: mTuitive will not directly participate in the financial awards provided by the program. mTuitive is not associated with ImagineNation Challenges or with Canada Health Infoway.

Congratulations again to IHL Service of Windsor-Essex and Sunnybrook for their well-earned victories and recognition!

Usability is our number one priority at mTuitive. (Our original slogan was "Usability by Design!") So when we kept hearing three requests from our surgeons recently, we looked at what was bothering them and quickly designed and developed three new features that we think smoothly address their problems.

Wrong Default?

We know that no surgeon would ever hit the wrong button! But occasionally we do get a call asking how to start over if someone selects the wrong default report. The old workaround was to delete the report and start over — cumbersome, and even trickier if the report was an amendment. Now, simply click "Wrong Default?" at the bottom of the screen and select the default you really want to use.

Change Procedure

Sometimes, you want to select a slightly different procedure code to describe the operation performed, but your usual description is still adequate or only needs minor edits. In this case, you don't want to return to the procedures screen to modify the list of operations performed and then have to re-do the description. For this reason, there is now a "change" link right next to the procedure above its operative description. Click it to load the procedure chooser on the right hand side of the screen. Selecting a new procedure changes the existing one in place, and keeps the operative description exactly as it was.

Office staff will also like this feature when helping surgeons complete amendments because they can quickly change to the desired code without modifying the surgeon's description, and then send it back to the surgeon for signout.

Repeat Procedure

Another common frustration occurs when surgeons may perform the same procedure multiple times. For example, a procedure may be performed on 1 to 5 fingers. In this case, it is annoying to have to keep a default report around for every possibility. Now, you can just have 1 and click "repeat" next to the procedure to add a copy of the procedure and its operative description right in the report.

We're Listening

Please contact us using live chat while you are using the product, or by email or phone (508-771-5800) and let us know what other new features would make signing out operative reports (even) easier for you. In the meantime, check out these hot new features!

We've had several surgeons ask if they can download their completed operative reports as Word documents rather than PDFs. Some EMRs only allow Word uploads and some offices just prefer this format. Last Friday we shipped this feature in OpNote.

As a user, you'll see this option in several places.

Signed out reports have PDF and Word download icons on their summary cards. For PDF, this is a change from the text link "pdf" to a familiar graphical icon. You don't need to open the report to download in either format. Simply click on either icon to download the report in the desired format.

In addition, we've offered the ability to batch download all reports for a date of service in a zip file. This option now has PDF and Word flavors, as well:

Lastly, the final report page displays a link to download the Word document below the existing option to download the PDF.

As always, you don't need to do anything to upgrade; new features appear automatically thanks to our hosted, software-as-a-service delivery.

We hope you find the Word download useful! We always try to find ways to make life easier for our customers. If there are other formats that would help you with your own workflow, please let us know.

1. 1) It’s about people, not technology. We know this instinctively by the nature of our organization, but sometimes the forest perspective loses out because we have to spend so much time on the bark that falls off the trees. Similarly, twitter gets a lot of hype and all of its nuanced features. But it’s really just a tool. A technology. As Biz said, “Humanity moves forward with help from technology – it’s all about the people, it’s not about the technology.” A good reminder that ICD-10, meaningful use, telemedicine, PACS, and all those other acronyms are all about the patients we serve.
2. 2) Technology utilized correctly inspires spontaneous, coordinated action. Twitter enables groups of people to swarm together (like birds) and move together as one organism to get things done. Biz also told a great story back when Twitter was in prototype phase. A tech guy at a pub after a long conference day tweeted that it was too loud in there and that he was moving to another pub. Within 8 minutes (and lots of retweets), 800 people had lined up at the other pub. How can healthIT do that for our clinical teams? “Code RED” on the PA system works very well, but are there new ways to think how our cross-functional teams work together?
3. 3) Technology utilized correctly takes the firehose of information and turns it into actionable wisdom. Twitter enables people to take infinite information, turn it into understanding, and turn it into action. It’s not about information, it’s about knowledge/wisdom. The Arab Spring twitter story is a great example of that. With the boatloads of data that’s being stored up in our servers (and this is just the tip of the very beginning), how do we make all that information so easy to digest, analyze, and act upon that data for multiple user types?
4. 4) Not Invented Here. Baked into Twitter’s culture is this core value: “there are more smart people outside our company than inside.” Especially for the complicated, ever-evolving field of HealthIT, we’ve learned this lesson time and again – we rely on the fellowship of colleagues, friends, and experts and attend events like HIMSS.
5. 5) Technology enables culture change. Think about how smartphones has changed the nature of work and of family. As more sophisticated healthIT technologies continue to emerge, addressing the emotional/cultural aspects of the implementation of the technology may very well be just as important as the technical side of things. As we enter into an era of wearable devices and other health-awareness devices (Biz has a scale at home that shoots his weight information into a cloud where his friends can keep him accountable), demands for better, faster, more accurate, and more actionable information will only grow. This will continually moving the patient/provider relationship, and in turn, change the role that we in HealthIT play – not just as technical experts, but culture change agents.

All good points to remember and apply to Health IT, but numbers 3 and 4 resonate with me in particular.

Technology utilized correctly takes the firehose of information and turns it into actionable wisdom. This is an issue that we've really tried to impress on health facilities. As evidence-based medicine grows in popularity and practice, it will become increasingly important that the correct information is collected in its entirety. Structured data collected in electronic synoptic reports expedites the process of moving this information into the necessary places. We at mTuitive think it's a better method than recording the information without any sort of rules or structure, and therefore requiring more processes (and more time and more resources) to then get that data out of the records and where ever they need to be. So much information is collected but set adrift amidst an ocean of text - text that has no bearing on healthcare - or else the data is in a format which prevents easy access for other healthcare providers.

So much information is being recorded in so many different programs, products, sheets, venues and machines. It leads to number 4, Not Invented Here which is important in healthcare - and to us - because everyone needs to collaborate better. To quote The Wire, "Everything is connected. Everything matters." What is entered in System X about a patient needs to be available for System Z about that same patient. We need to accept that there are other solutions out there, and we need to learn to work together. Because, ultimately, Health IT is about the patients, the people, and about helping everyone. We need to be more open to making these introductions to other organizations, creating partnerships with each other and come together to improve health IT on every level.

Empowering data - making it easier to find the data you want - is only helpful if it can be shared and used for better research and better care. Integration, interfacing and collaborating needs to be an easy process between vendors that doesn't put the onus on facilities or providers. Everyone believes in his or her own product, but everyone knows that his or her own product is limited in some way. That's OK - together we compliment each other and make a better experience and therefore ensure a better outcome for all patients.

Boston, MA - mTuitive, the leading provider for synoptic reporting solutions, announced an addition to its Board of Directors - John Gomez. A highly respected visionary in the health information technology industry, Mr. Gomez brings his extensive experience in technology strategy, e-commerce, development and architecture to mTuitive's board. Mr. Gomez worked on the pre-releases of .NET and is still a highly in-demand lecturer and author on .NET and advanced technology today. HISTalk once referred to Mr. Gomez as the "Steve Jobs of healthcare IT – the industry’s leader, visionary, and celebrity" because Mr. Gomez's projects "thrived", "customers follow" his moves and "employees get [his] message."

Mr. Gomez's previous positions include the Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Strategy Officer of Eclipsys; Senior Vice President and CTO of WebMD; CTO/Senior Vice President of Strategic Business Development at Brill Media Holdings in New York; Managing Consultant at Microsoft Corporation, where he was the Lead Program Manager and Architect for the MicroWarehouse e-Commerce System; Chief Architect for HRBlock Advanced Technology; and President/CEO and CTO of KYMA Technologies, Inc.

"To have someone like John on our board is a tremendous achievement," said John Murphy, CEO and Founder of mTuitive. "Not only does Mr. Gomez bring his many years of experience to our board, he also brings his unique and prescient vision to mTuitive and all of its products. There are few people with the prolific acumen of John that not only anticipate the future of health IT but can also execute that vision. We're very excited to have someone with his background and talent joining us as we continue to expand and improve upon our products."

For his part, Mr. Gomez is excited to be involved with the synoptic reporting company. "mTuitive was founded on principles that I think are more relevant to healthcare now than in years past. Simplifying workflow, lessening expenses and improving data capture will only increase in importance as more standards are published and more facilities adopt electronic solutions. I'm hopeful that this venture will result in a further revolution of medical reporting - moving from the antiquated systems of years past, to the present of synoptic reporting and into a future that relies on more intelligent data capture and evidence-based medicine."

Mr. Gomez is the second new addition to mTuitive's board. Earlier it was announced that healthcare data expert Katherine Rowell had also joined the board of directors.

Apple has done a great service for web applications running on the iPad with iOS 5. Among other improvements for web developers in the mobile safari browser, Apple now provides that native, kinetic scrolling you've come to love on your iOS devices to web apps.

Wait, you may say, I already use flick gestures to scroll up and down when using OpNote! However, you were using a simulation of the native iOS scrolling effect that we implemented with an open source code library. It was never quite as good as the real thing, and also turns out to be the cause of our surgeon's bug, above. Removing the code that simulated native scrolling fixed our problem, and gave us the chance to upgrade to native scrolling using the new features in iOS 5. Anywhere you scroll in OpNote when using the iPad, you will experience high-performance, smooth touch scrolling.

While working on this, we noticed a few things that could be smoother on the OpNote Edit screen. Traditionally, OpNote-on-iPad required users to tap "Edit" in order to select and edit a section of the report. Now you can tap anywhere on a section's current answers to select it. In addition, flick scrolling could be confused with dragging and dropping answers to reorder them. Now, flick scrolling only happens on the left where the section labels are, and drag-drop or selection happens over the answers.

In short, touch behavior on the Edit screen is now redesigned and improved:

• Users can flick anywhere in the left column where the labels are to scroll. (purple rectangle below)
• Users can tap anywhere on the answers or edit button to select the section. (red rectangle below)
• After a section is selected and green arrows become visible, users can touch-and-drag to reorder answers. (purple oval below)

What do customers need to do?

Customers who want the best possible iPad experience should upgrade to iOS 5. OpNote will still work with older iOS versions, but you won't have kinetic scrolling and will have to use the non-kinetic, 2-finger scroll gesture (a real pain when you are used to the real thing!). iOS 5 if a free update that is available to all iPad 1 and 2 owners. Simply plug your iPad into your computer and follow the instructions in iTunes to upgrade.

We hope you enjoy these changes!

Boston, MA - mTuitive, the leading provider for synoptic reporting solutions, announced an addition to its Board of Directors - Katherine S. Rowell. One of the most respected voices in the field of healthcare data, Ms. Rowell was responsible for rolling out National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) to well over 300 hospitals in the US and Canada. NSQIP, the first risk-adjusted and validated surgical outcome program in the world, collects data on clinical variables (e.g., preoperative risk factors, intraoperative variables and 30-day postoperative mortality and morbidity outcomes) for surgical patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She is currently the founder and principal of Katherine S. Rowell & Associates, who "teach and advise organizations how to correctly capture and manage their health care data."

"Kathy isn't just a great proponent of capturing healthcare data - she is the greatest proponent for it," said John Murphy, mTuitive's CEO and founder. "Kathy brings a knowledge about effective data capture and research that is unparalleled in the field. Coupled with her experiences working with some of the biggest initiatives in quality reporting, Kathy has unique insight and perspective that is starting to reshape modern medical care and research."

Ms. Rowell has published numerous papers on the benefits of correctly capturing and applying healthcare data in treatments, as well as establishing Massachusetts General Hospital's Codman Center for Clinical Effectiveness in Surgery, which encourages surgical outcomes research. In addition to her many projects and contributions to improving data capture in healthcare, Ms. Rowell has a B.S. in Business Management and a Master of Health Administration from the University of New Hampshire, and a Master of Science degree from the Dartmouth Medical School. She is on the faculty at Brandeis University’s Medical Informatics Graduate Program and is a charter member of the Collaborative Care Technology Work Group.

"Quality data capture is only going to increase in importance in healthcare," Rowell said, "and mTuitive offers the best ways of capturing that information. Their solutions embody the philosophy that I've been speaking about for many years - integrating important data capture within current workflows in order to improve the quality of research and patient care."

New Features Allow Surgeons, Admins to Do More With OpNote

We at mTuitive have our own plans on what additions and innovations we'd like to make to OpNote. But the real fun comes when we collaborate with our users and are able to craft and deliver new features that will improve their OpNote experience. We're releasing a bunch of new functionality and features that makes OpNote even easier to use while accommodating all of the specific needs of surgeons and administrators.

Today's update can be broken down into two types of features: Updates for Physician Users and Updates for Admin Users.

Physician User Updates

The video above provides an overview of the changes, which include:

• "Common" Procedures and Diagnoses: Popular answers in lists helpfully draw on the collective knowledge of our users. Now popular answers have come to the procedure and diagnosis chooser screens. These standardized, coded values are an excellent source of collective intelligence across our user base. The procedure screen shows the top procedures for the surgeon's specialty, and the diagnosis screens show the top diagnoses for the procedures in that particular report.
• Add/Edit Popular Answers: We have created a more personalized approach to "popular answers" - When a surgeon begins to write in an answer, the popular choices drop down as usual, but now his/her own most common choices for that CPT will appear first. This places the surgeon's own custom edits or write-in answers at their fingertips. Surgeons can also edit these responses to suit the particular surgery/patient.
• Line Item Editing: We are very excited to offer this feature, one we've been working on and planning for some time. Now, by clicking "Edit" on a response, surgeons are able to make one or two changes in the line. For example, changing the size of a needle used or the proportions of medication injected. This feature is a quick and easy way for surgeons to make small changes to their defaults, requiring less time spent typing.
• Streamlined PDF: This update actually applies to both Admins and Surgeons, as both are all too aware of the amount of paper used for reporting. We've made the PDF version of our report much more compact and tighter in a bid to reduce the amount of pages you have to print.

Admin User Updates

The video above provides an overview of the changes, which include:

• "Practices" for Office Staff: "Practices" is our way of creating roles and abilities for personnel of doctors' offices. By assigning doctors and coders to practices, OpNote limits what reports coding/billing personnel are able to see. So Dr. Smith's coder only sees Dr. Smith's reports, etc. That means that when the physicians immediately sign out, the signed out report is automatically added to the practice staff's dashboard, ready to be processed for reimbursement.
• Deactivating Users: ASCs have a lot of doctors, assistants, anesthesiologists, CRNAs and other providers rotating in and out. Now OpNote lets admins deactivate users, disabling their logins and removing them from pick lists for scheduling. All of their opnotes are kept intact, and they can be reactivated later. In addition, you can quickly add assistants and anesthesiologists just by entering their names. It's easy to active or deactivate a provider to bring them in or out of pick lists as well.

In addition to fixing various bugs and tweaking OpNote so it runs smoothest with all of the latest browsers, mTuitive added features for both the surgeon and admin user. We try to update the product fairly regularly, at least once a month, with error fixes and brand new features. So if you have a feature you want to add to OpNote, let us know and we'll do our best to add it as quickly as we can.

As always, if you have questions or would like to schedule time to go into all of these changes, please feel free to contact us. You can call us at 508.771.5800 or email us at opnote@mtuitive.com
