Certification Achieved by ModMed for AI-Powered Scribe by ASTP/ONC
ModMed®, a leading innovator in healthcare technology, announced that its electronic health records (EHR) platform, EMA®, has successfully achieved certification from the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ASTP/ONC) for the Predictive Decision Support Intervention (DSI) criterion.
“Understanding the Pressures on Healthcare Providers”
This certification highlights ModMed’s dedication to enhancing provider efficiency and improving patient care. The company recognizes the immense challenges that today’s healthcare professionals face, including overwhelming workloads, complex documentation demands, and the continuous need to deliver top-tier care. ModMed’s solution aims to alleviate these pressures by significantly reducing documentation time and improving clinical workflows.
AI-Powered ModMed Scribe: Transforming Documentation
At the core of this achievement is ModMed’s innovative AI-powered ambient listening technology, ModMed Scribe™. Built into the EMA platform, this state-of-the-art tool leverages artificial intelligence to listen in real-time during patient-provider interactions. ModMed Scribe captures the conversation and processes it seamlessly into comprehensive clinical documentation, reducing the burden on healthcare providers and improving patient outcomes.
What sets ModMed Scribe apart is its specialized training on a vast repository of structured, specialty-specific data. This enables the AI to understand medical language unique to different specialties. Rather than merely transcribing simple notes, the tool is designed to take proactive actions based on the captured dialogue, such as suggesting prescriptions, lab orders, and patient handouts—automating critical downstream clinical workflows. The integration with EMA ensures a smooth, fast, and efficient process for medical providers.
This combination of efficiency and automation is redefining clinical workflows, ensuring faster provider onboarding, seamless integration into daily practices, and fostering better communication within care teams. It sets a new standard for clinical documentation that can lead to reduced administrative burdens, enabling healthcare providers to focus more on patient care.
Rigorous Standards for Predictive Tools in Healthcare
In 2024, the ASTP’s HTI-1 Final Rule introduced stringent requirements for predictive tools like ModMed Scribe, focusing on transparency and risk management. These rules are designed to ensure that artificial intelligence tools used within certified EHR systems are safe, effective, valid, and fair. It is essential that healthcare providers trust the tools they use in their practice, particularly when these tools impact clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
ModMed’s achievement of ASTP certification demonstrates its commitment to maintaining these rigorous standards. The certification process involved a comprehensive intervention risk management program, ensuring that ModMed Scribe adheres to the highest safety, quality, and ethical guidelines. This program includes a governance framework, detailed policies and procedures, training, and continuous monitoring using third-party tools to ensure compliance and quality assurance.
“We understand the immense pressures facing today’s healthcare providers — from heavy workloads and complex documentation to the constant need to provide the best possible care,” said Dan Cane, co-founder and co-CEO of ModMed. “Our goal is to build transformative, safe, and effective AI solutions that support providers in their work. Achieving ASTP certification reinforces our commitment to innovation and sets a foundation of trust and transparency for the future of AI in healthcare.”
Transforming Healthcare with AI Innovation
By achieving ASTP certification, ModMed not only meets the stringent regulatory requirements but also sets a benchmark for the responsible and effective deployment of AI in healthcare. This milestone reflects ModMed’s continued leadership in creating solutions that streamline clinical workflows and improve patient care outcomes.
Looking ahead, ModMed plans to continue developing and deploying AI-powered technologies that help healthcare providers save time, reduce administrative burdens, and ultimately enhance the quality of patient care. The certification underscores ModMed’s commitment to advancing healthcare through cutting-edge technology, providing valuable tools that empower providers to deliver the best care possible.
