MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medquist Inc.
(Pink Sheets: MEDQ) today announces the release of DocQsign, a Web-based
electronic signature module of DocQment(TM) Enterprise Platform, an Internet-
hosted document workflow management solution.  Available as an optional
service, DocQsign integrates the requirement of electronic signature with the
process of document workflow and ensures a seamless transition from
transcribed document to authenticated document, facilitating patient care and
the reimbursement process.
    "MedQuist understands the value of the healthcare providers' time and the
urgency to gain quick access to patient medical records.  With DocQsign,
physicians no longer need to visit the Medical Records department to sign
charts or view a patient medical record," says Terry Cameron, MedQuist's
senior vice president of Marketing.  "Not only does DocQsign make the process
faster and easier for the healthcare provider, it ultimately reduces the
turnaround time for quicker reimbursement and enhanced patient care."
    Physicians are provided access via the Internet to documents within
seconds of completed transcription, from anywhere, at anytime.  Using a
Web-based user account and an array of electronic review and signature tools,
physicians can authenticate patient documents that they originated, or with
appropriate permission, documents that were originated by other physicians.
Physicians can access, listen, review, edit, reject and sign patient
documents, all through a Web-based interface.
    "Physicians and healthcare providers get a list of documents to be signed
in their inbox," says Dori Dunn, DocQsign product manager.  "From one screen,
they can either listen, edit, reject or sign the document, all from the
comforts of home or from any location with Internet access.  Attending and
resident signatures and a delegate role are available to support the needs of
the healthcare industry.  And once the document is signed, it is automatically
routed to the appropriate location, reducing turnaround times and concerns
about incomplete reports."
