ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TRANSCEND SERVICES, INC. (NASDAQ: TRCR), a leading provider of clinical documentation services to the U.S. healthcare market, announced today the release of its state-of-the art clinical documentation solution with Salar (a division of Transcend).
Transcend’s front-end speech technology and next generation transcription platform, combines with Salar’s suite of template-based documentation to create a powerful electronic solution that supports the entire physician inpatient workflow – incorporating clinical documentation, clinical review, communication and charge capture.
Salar president Todd Johnson, recently quoted in HISTalk (http://histalk2.com/2011/09/21/readers-write-92111) stated, “With the introduction of Salar’s TeamNotes, hospitals are able to deploy point of service physician documentation tools to electronically capture structured progress notes and other physician documentation at the point of service. Salar’s advanced toolset helps to improve the quality of documentation by assisting physicians in ICD-9 identification and clinical documentation improvement.”
“Transcend’s hallmark is their ability to utilize technology to provide consistently excellent services to their clients.” said Mary Reeves, Administrative Director, Medical Information Services for Vanderbilt University Hospital and Children’s Hospital. “I am excited to see them add Salar as another option to help their customers succeed.”
