MedQuist and IQMax to Deliver Mobile Documentation Solutions to Healthcare Market

MedQuist Inc., the leading national provider of medical transcription outsourcing and clinical documentation workflow solutions, and IQMax Inc., a leading provider of mobile healthcare solutions, are strengthening their partnership to deliver innovative, point-of-care clinical documentation and dictation solutions to the healthcare market.
   
IQMax will be showcasing its mobile solutions in MedQuist’s booth (#6451) at the HIMSS 2007 Annual Conference and Exhibition next week in New Orleans, utilizing some of the newest mobile devices in the market, including the popular Palm(R) Treo(TM) 700w and 750 devices, as well as the Cingular(R) 8525 and the Verizon Wireless XV6700.
   
MedQuist’s PhysAssist IQ(TM), powered by IQMax, allows caregivers to manage their daily workflow by delivering patient list and demographic information to physicians on their mobile devices, so that they can dictate and document patient encounters at the point of care or in between appointments, at the time and place most convenient for them.
   
With PhysAssist IQ, physicians can synchronize their dictated patient encounters securely in a wireless or wired environment across any care setting, whether acute or ambulatory. PhysAssist IQ is certified on more than 40 different mobile devices utilizing the Microsoft Windows Mobile(R) or Palm Operating Systems, so customers have a variety to choose from.
   
As part of their strengthened partnership, IQMax is more tightly integrating its mobile solutions with MedQuist’s technology and services solutions. For example, PhysAssist IQ mobile solutions will be integrated into MedQuist’s new dictation platform, DocQment(TM) Ovation, to provide healthcare customers with a total end-to-end documentation solution. Ovation is a Web- based enterprise digital voice capture and document management solution that provides centralized administration and management from a single point, and allows healthcare organizations to increase efficiency, decrease turnaround times, and realize an immediate ROI.
   
"Integrating PhysAssist IQ with the DocQment Ovation platform allows healthcare customers to purchase a best-in-class, comprehensive documentation solution that will streamline the entire process of dictation and documentation within a healthcare facility, support the Electronic Medical Record, and significantly improve the productivity of physicians practicing in any care environment," says Linda Reino, MedQuist Chief Operating Officer.
   
"IQMax is pleased to partner with MedQuist to deliver its mobile healthcare solutions to MedQuist’s customers in acute and ambulatory environments," says Paul Adkison, CEO and founder of IQMax. "IQMax’s mobile solutions are in great demand with MedQuist customers as physicians, healthcare administrators, and executives understand the significant value proposition of utilizing mobile solutions to document patient encounters, to streamline the process of providing healthcare, improve the quality of care, and speed the billing and reimbursement process."
