MedQuist Releases Next-Generation Performance, Benchmarking and Analytics Portal Technology for Clinical Documentation
August 25 2011 - 8:30AM
MedQuist Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:MEDH), a leading provider of
integrated clinical documentation solutions for the U.S. healthcare
system, announced general availability of its DocQlytics™ portal.
DocQlytics is designed to streamline management reporting and
provide custom performance, transparency and continuous
process-improvement analytics for clinical documentation
management.
Designed as a flexible, "self-service" reporting dashboard,
DocQlytics provides an intuitive display of key metrics, based on
customized views and capabilities, for drill-down reporting on
specific activity details. Critical metadata captured from the
DocQment EP™ (DEP) workflow platform, combined with robust query
capabilities, gives users powerful benchmarking and continuous
quality improvement (CQI) capabilities. Features include a
role-based personalized dashboard, automated delivery of reports
sent to an e-mail address or to the portal's inbox, report
customization and the availability of reports in multiple
formats.
"DocQlytics provides HIM Directors, like me, more opportunities
to work with data, in a number of ways, for reporting and
performance monitoring," said Cindy Phelps, Director of HIM and
Transcription Services for Carilion Clinic. "I now have an easy way
to access, control and customize reports that contain key metrics,
enabling me to monitor and make procedural changes that improve
patient care and increase physician satisfaction."
With DocQlytics, healthcare organizations can realize many
clinical and administrative benefits. In the clinical setting,
patient safety is enhanced through rapid identification of medical
document quality improvement and through delivery of accurate
documentation to physicians at the point of care. Administratively,
benefits include reduced costs, secured patient information, CQI
and streamlined documentation for regulatory compliance audits.
The reporting portal can be used by a company's broad range of
customers. The customers include healthcare organizations such as
hospitals, clinics and third-party medical transcription service
organizations (MTSOs) using DEP.
"Using the report editor, I have been able to access and manage
data in creative new ways, experiencing immediate results," said
Jeff Tindall, Director of Software Development for Superior Global
Solutions, Inc. "The functionality has helped me create and
schedule a number of new reports for our management team that has
reduced manual processing of repetitive data mining tasks. It only
takes a matter of minutes to produce customized views of data, as I
have recently experienced."
According to MedQuist Chairman and CEO Vern Davenport,
DocQlytics was developed to accelerate and streamline the reporting
process while offering dashboard technology for real-time views of
performance. "Transparent performance reporting is an essential
element of our solutions," Davenport said. "Our goal is to provide
our spectrum of customers with tools that help them drive
efficiency, lower costs and improve the quality and output of
clinical information."
Phelps added, "The customizable reporting tool allows me to
decrease the number of reports being run to obtain month-end
statistics. With the report scheduling feature, I can also decrease
the time necessary to run reports, having them ready for me based
on my schedule."
