MedQuist, Clario ink agreement

MedQuist has reached a reseller agreement with Clario Medical Imaging to market and resell Clario’s zVision software.

MedQuist, headquartered in Mt. Laurel, N.J., and Seattle-based Clario already have a commercial relationship that has produced the integration of zVision with MedQuist’s SpeechQ for Radiology speech recognition solution.

The zVision product aggregates information from SpeechQ, RIS/PACS and other sources, and builds a customized database for radiology practices. Th information is presented at a radiologist’s desktop in a single-view worklist format, which facilitates workflow and access to dictation using SpeechQ, the company said.
