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."

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."
