implementation is the result of partnering with a vendor willing to listen
and understand our needs, as well as properly setting our radiologists'
expectations." He adds, "MedQuist has worked diligently to incorporate

which has streamlined the radiologists' workflow. And MedQuist continues to
listen to us and ask for our input as they design future releases."

Recognition Solutions, "Several of the enhancements that will be included
