3M Partners with Rad AI

3M Health Information Systems and Rad AI have formed a strategic sales partnership in which 3M will resell Rad AI's Continuity incidental findings management and Omni impression generation solutions as a value-add to customers using 3M M*Modal Fluency for Imaging solution.

3M Fluency for Imaging is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered reporting solution that helps radiologists create reports. Natural language understanding enables radiologists to dictate diagnostic reports in real time, and computer-assisted physician documentation delivers clinical insights within the reporting workflow to proactively address documentation gaps. Workflow management capabilities and customizable templates and macros can also reduce administrative tasks.

"3M Fluency for Imaging and Rad AI's Continuity and Omni are complementary solutions that help to support and strengthen the entire speech-driven reporting workflow," said Michael Bee, 3M HIS vice president of clinician solutions, in a statement. "Our goal in expanding this partnership is to provide solutions facilitating an efficient and accurate radiology reporting process that aids radiologists' lifesaving work and gives them valuable time back in their day, and that helps increase follow-up exam rates and decrease missed diagnoses to improve patient care."

"Rad AI and 3M are committed to using AI to streamline radiologist workflows and improve patient care. This partnership will expand the number of radiologists and patients who can benefit from our leading-edge products," said Dr Jeff Chang, ER radiologist and Rad AI co-founder, in a statement. "Our companies' solutions support not only improved patient safety and decreased liability for health systems, but also substantial time savings and lower burnout for radiologists."
