Testimonials

"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

"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

"I have been able to use your program for my operative notes and so far it has been spectacular...some of my OpNotes have taken as little as 15 seconds to change one or two fields and sign out!"

David Grischkan, MD

"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

"I saw the immediate value in OpNote – in terms of the efficiency that it created for physicians, the accuracy in documentation, the ability 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

"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 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

"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

"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."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

mTuitive Launches New Operative Reporting Software Product

Boston, MA - mTuitive, Inc., a Massachusetts-based clinical software developer, unveiled its new product, OpNote™, at the eighth annual Orthopedic, Spine and Pain Management Driven ASC Conference in Chicago. OpNote replaces antiquated paper and dictation-based methods of recording surgeons' postoperative details with an electronic system that generates structured reports in a synoptic format. The structured report makes surgical information readily usable for sophisticated database applications for quality reporting measures, disease registries and research repositories.

OpNote eliminates the cost and reporting delays associated with transcription while accelerating the revenue cycle for the surgery center and surgeon. Reports are seamlessly cross coded for billing and compliance purposes. OpNote is priced less than the cost of transcription, meaning providers begin saving money immediately.

The software is web-based and requires no initial investment although interfaces to electronic medical records systems are available. No special hardware is required although OpNote is optimized for use on tablets and touchscreen devices. The iPad™ and the HP Touchsmart™ were particularly popular user interfaces at the conference.

"Transcription and data abstraction (the process of mining data from unstructured medical records) are redundant processes that add no value to the healthcare delivery system. No one appreciates this more than surgeons who invest in ambulatory surgery centers," stated John Murphy, mTuitive CEO. "The major challenge we faced was to design a product that was easy to use, flexible and complete. I am confident that we got it right. More than fifty surgeons participated in our usability trials and not one has been dissatisfied."

Dr. John Mattson, an orthopedic surgeon from Berkeley CA who beta tested the software, had this to say about OpNote: "The benefits of this system are significant. In less than two minutes, and with minimal effort by the surgeon, an electronic report complete with codes and full details of the surgical findings is available without the need for transcription or any delays that exist under current systems. A standardized operative report which includes important details benefits the surgeon, the patient, subsequent treating physicians and potential medical liability defenses."

About mTuitive: mTuitive, Inc. develops data capture and synoptic reporting software to assist health care professionals in recording clinical findings and maintaining compliance with established protocols and guidelines. Our unique method of capturing structured information provides valuable data for pathology, oncology, and cancer staging applications. Established in 2003, mTuitive, Inc. is based in Massachusetts.
