Methodist Health System to implement Webmedx's transcription and content management system

Webmedx, the fourth largest medical transcription service provider in the U.S. and a premier supplier of clinical documentation technology, today announced that Methodist Health System of Dallas (Methodist) has signed an agreement to implement Webmedx's Transcription Outsourcing Service and Enterprise(TM) software solution. A web-native system for transcription and content management, the platform will support Methodist's transcription needs and interface with the organization's electronic health record (EHR).

"The challenge for our organization was to find a transcription partner flexible enough to accommodate the varying needs of our physicians while also delivering superior quality and prompt turnaround time for our reports," mentions Pamela Stoyanoff, Executive Vice President of Operations for Methodist Health System.

Methodist and Webmedx technology teams worked diligently to implement customized, blended, transcription solutions which will help the organization meet diverse physician requirements and remain competitive. Additional Webmedx benefits include a strong local presence for ongoing communication and simplified service invoicing.

"At some point in time, a lower per-line transcription price wasn't the primary driver; quality and superior service was," Stoyanoff concludes. Webmedx will replace the organization's long-term transcription supplier at three Methodist hospitals beginning this month. "Methodist chose Webmedx based on our long-standing reputation for quality and the comfort of knowing we would deliver an exceptional product and support," mentions Chris Cashwell, Senior Vice President of Client Development, Webmedx.
