MedQuist Holdings Inc., a leading provider of integrated clinical documentation solutions for the U.S. healthcare system, announced today it will attend the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) 2011 Annual Conference in Las Vegas October 23 – 26. The company's Collaborative Intelligence Solutions -- including Speech and Natural Language Understanding (NLU), CDS Interactive, Clinical Content Discovery tools, and Clinical document services -- will be highlighted for the audience of healthcare practice managers and technology partners.
Both technology partners and physician practices leverage MedQuist’s Collaborative Intelligence technology and services to create cost-effective clinical documentation. Results include physician time savings, accelerated workflow, improved Electronic Health Record (EHR) integration and patient care, and increased profitability. In addition, these solutions can combine providers' narrative information with electronic data to provide key clinical and business analytics for reporting and decision-making purposes.
MedQuist will highlight a number of their visionary solutions at MGMA. These include:
· CDS Interactive: Utilizes Speech and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to capture what a physician says and convert it into a structured clinical document, the Patient Story. It becomes part of the EHR and other workflow systems allowing physicians to navigate with their voice and create narrative documentation that overcomes the limitations of template-driven approaches. Benefits include promotion of EHR adoption by preserving physician-friendly narrative, higher quality documentation as the complete Patient Story can be captured, and significant transcription productivity gains through speech recognition.
· Clinical Content Discovery Tools: Integrates MedQuist and M*Modal’s NLU technology to transform narrative documents into structured, encoded information that can be used for a variety of administrative and clinical purposes. Applications for query and analysis of large volumes of reports could include the creation of an abstracted active problem list from patient reports, medications used, identification of data required for compliance and registry reporting, and development of candidate lists for clinical trials or other targeted clinical actions.
· CBayScribe: Delivers physician-centric solutions in technology-enabled transcription and document management. By leveraging Collaborative Intelligence, it gives medical practices the power to maximize physician time, accelerate workflow, improve patient care, and increase profitability. Designed to help busy practices comply with regulations and data exchange requests, CBayScribe makes clinical narrative capture and delivery cost effective, and EHR integration seamless for physician practices.
The MedQuist, M*Modal, and CBayScribe family will demonstrate their Interactive Clinical Documentation and other technology solutions during MGMA 2011 Annual Conference at Booth 435. MedQuist will also partner with AllScripts for a Booth Bingo event.
