Mass. hospital selects MedQuist for clinical documentation, speech recognition

Noble Hospital, a community hospital located in Westfield, Mass., has begun implementation of MedQuist’s Enterprise technology to provide hospital-wide dictation, transcription and speech recognition capabilities.

The Enterprise Platform and its embedded speech recognition capability will be used throughout the hospital to help Noble's Health Information Management department progress with technology and provide a more timely and reliable capture of data, according to the Mount Laurel, N.J.-based company.

Noble Hospital is a 97-bed, community-based acute care hospital that provides a full range of quality care to residents of Western Hampden County and surrounding communities.
