According to the KLAS report, all performance scores have been compiled from the feedback of thousands of healthcare providers at physician offices, clinics, hospitals and integrated delivery networks throughout the United States.

"To achieve these outstanding KLAS scores, as well as being named 2012 Best in KLAS for Transcription Services,¹ it takes commitment, hard work and a relentless focus on serving our customers' needs," said Precyse President Chris Powell.
