MedQuist and Clario Form Partnership to Integrate zVision Radiology Practice Management Software with SpeechQ for Radiology
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MedQuist Inc. , the leading provider of clinical documentation workflow technology and services, and Clario Medical Imaging Inc. announced today they have agreed to integrate Clario's zVision(TM) software with MedQuist's SpeechQ for Radiology(TM) speech recognition solution. This integration provides a single access point to manage workflow and dictate using SpeechQ for Radiology.
Clario creates software that can dramatically improve radiologists' efficiency and accuracy by providing superior access to practice information, patient information and an extensive range of multi-vendor, best-of-breed software applications. zVision aggregates information from SpeechQ, as well as existing HIS and RIS, and builds a database precisely customized for the radiology practice. In addition, zVision provides intelligent tools for real-time monitoring of a practice, advanced searches, results communication, and quality assurance. MedQuist will be demonstrating this integration at the partner pavilion in its booth (#7113) at RSNA 2008 (Nov. 30-Dec. 4 in Chicago).
"zVision provides real-time, Web-based access to diagnostic imaging practice data through six pivotal tools: Dashboard, Worklist, Search, Results Communication, QA and Practice Summaries. Using advanced data mining techniques, zVision can help the physician search through all past patient records, including reports and notes," says Carole Spangler, Clario vice president of business development.
"If a physician is dictating, they should be able to easily access prior patient information. Alternatively, they should be able to launch a new dictation while in a Clinical Imaging Processing (CIP) application. We are pleased to be able to offer these options to SpeechQ customers with the integration of zVision," states Chris Spring, MedQuist director of speech recognition solutions.
Dr. Ed Weinberger of Seattle Children's Hospital observes, "zVision provides us with a real-time dashboard of the state of our practice. We have used zVision to track more than 400,000 cases and have achieved tremendous gains in workflow efficiency. Not only does zVision give a single point of access for all patient imaging information, it also includes intelligent tools for quality assurance and patient follow-up."
