MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MedQuist Inc.
(Pink Sheets: MEDQ), the leading provider of clinical documentation
workflow technology and services, and StructuRad LLC, an innovator in
radiology reporting solutions, announced today they have agreed to
integrate and use StructuRad's radiology reporting content "macros" in
MedQuist's SpeechQ for Radiology(TM) speech recognition solution product.
MedQuist will be demonstrating this integration at its booth (#304) at
the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) 2008 Annual Meeting,
being held May 15-18 in Seattle, Wash.
The purpose of the agreement is to provide MedQuist with a new add-on
capability for macro reporting within SpeechQ. The SpeechQ macro reporting
product will use content macros derived from StructuRad's proprietary
knowledge base radiology lexicon. StructuRad currently has a library of
more than 7,000 report templates.
"From the beginning, our goal with SpeechQ was to provide choices for
the radiologist. Our partnership with StructuRad again demonstrates our
desire to give the end user that choice. The content that StructuRad
provides will also help organizations to provide better quality reporting
to their customers," states Chris Spring, MedQuist director of speech
recognition solutions.
"Combining StructuRad macros with MedQuist's advanced speech
recognition solutions will further enhance SpeechQ users' productivity,"
notes Bill Tulloss, vice president of marketing and sales for StructuRad
LLC. "This partnership will make it easy for SpeechQ users to quickly
create reports from an extensive library of templates, rather than
developing them on their own."
