Aspirus Selects MedQuist Clinical Documentation Technology Solution for Network-Wide Productivity Improvement, EHR Adoption and Rapid Reimbursement

MedQuist Holdings Inc. MEDH today announced that it has been awarded a contract by Aspirus Inc., of Wausau, Wisconsin, for clinical documentation technology. The offering includes mobility enabled solutions, digital voice capture, a speech recognition and document workflow platform, voice-enabled EHR functionality and transcription services. In preparation for Computerized Physician Order Entry, the Aspirus team needed to replace their aging voice capture and transcription platform, according to Jerry Mourey, chief information officer for Aspirus. In addition, Aspirus HIM leaders wanted leading-edge speech recognition technology to help them improve productivity of their in-house transcriptionists while boosting physician adoption and usability of their EHR. Cost reduction and improved reimbursements were also goals of the organization. "We considered an upgrade based on our longstanding relationship, our deep functional and technical knowledge and a limited amount of time and resources for exploring other options – until we discovered the exceptional portfolio of MedQuist solutions and the team that stands behind them," Mourey added. "Making time for due diligence, we realized MedQuist could do more for us in terms of technology, customer care and meeting outcomes to support our needs, goals and objectives."
